Back before screen-sporting digital cameras existed, you had to wait to see the photos you'd taken. The Camp Snap Camera aims to return to this simpler time with a vintage-style, screen-free build. It has only a shutter button and flash selector switch for controls and uses an 8-megapixel sensor and LED flash to capture film-like photos. The rechargeable battery can take 500 photos per charge and the camera can hold 2,000 photos at a time; they can be offloaded via USB-C or SD card. Thanks to its sturdy build and simple design, the camera is extremely rugged, and offers no distractions, leaving you free to enjoy the moment.

It hurts you in the same place they were hit on the screen. Film Radar discovers the ingredients for realistic fight sounds — chicken carcasses, walnuts, celery, and plastic wrap, with a side of punching each other in the chest.
