Compact video camera disguised as a Tamagotchi-style flip phone design
In an exciting development for photography and video enthusiasts, Japanese startup Kyu has announced the pre-order availability of their innovative product - the Kyu camera. This compact device, with a design resembling an odd remote control, is set to revolutionise the way we capture and store memories.
At the helm of the US coverage for Digital Camera World, Hillary K. Grigonis, a former Nikon shooter and current Fujifilm user, has had the opportunity to test the Kyu camera. With more than a decade of experience writing about cameras and technology, Grigonis' work has been featured in various prestigious publications such as Business Insider, Digital Trends, Pocket-lint, Rangefinder, The Phoblographer, and Digital Camera World itself.
The Kyu camera is a minimalist device that focuses on simplicity. It captures videos up to 9 seconds long, limiting the user to 27 videos a day. The front camera is equipped with a 1/4-inch 8MP Sony sensor, while the rear camera boasts a 1/3.06-inch 13MP Sony sensor, ensuring high-quality footage.
One unique feature of the Kyu camera is its film mode, which limits options until a full "roll" (in this case, a day's worth of videos) has been filled. This encourages users to be mindful and intentional in their video-taking, aiming to prevent memories from getting lost in the midst of large amounts of data.
The Kyu camera system is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2025, likely between October and December. Shipping for the camera itself is estimated for the same period. The device comes with removable USB-C storage and an Android app, making it easy to access and share your videos.
Hillary K. Grigonis, who leads the US coverage for Digital Camera World, has praised the Kyu camera for its innovative approach to video capture. Her wedding and portrait photography favors a journalistic style, and she is also a licensed drone pilot, demonstrating her deep understanding and appreciation for technology in the field of photography.
In a world where technology often complicates our lives, the Kyu camera offers a refreshing change. Its focus on simplicity and intentionality makes it a "just enough camcorder," perfect for capturing those precious moments without getting bogged down in technical details. Pre-order your Kyu camera today and join the movement towards a more mindful approach to video capture.
