Starbucks Brews Up a Surprise with Cameras That Snap Like Your Morning Coffee

Starbucks has been churning out lattes for years, but now they’re adding something new to their mix: the Starbucks Retro Digital Camera. Available exclusively in China, this stylish device combines the company’s characteristic flair with photography tools that you might find yourself feeling completely at ease with, just like you would in one of their cafes.

Available in red or green colorways and priced at roughly $28, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to have a quality camera on hand without breaking the bank. The tiny form factor tucks neatly into a pocket or backpack, making it ideal for everyday usage. With a 13-megapixel main sensor and a secondary sensor that adds depth to portraiture, this camera takes clear photos in well-lit conditions. The camera also includes a built-in filter that gives your images a warm, vintage tone, similar to the old digital cameras from the early 2000s. The 2.4-inch LCD screen allows you to navigate among settings such as grainy effects or soft glows to get a sense of the full package.

Battery life is pretty impressive, holding up for about 200 shots on a single charge – that’s plenty of snaps for a day out with friends. Storage-wise, it makes use of a microSD card that can be expanded up to 32GB, so you won’t run out of room for all your vacation photos. The camera connects to the Starbucks smartphone app via Bluetooth, allowing you to easily share files and make additional changes. And at only 4.2 ounces, it’s light enough to use as a wrist strap while out and about.

The controls are quite simple: a power button, a shutter release, and a dial for switching modes; no menus to get bogged down in. Starbucks designed them for casual photographers who seek enjoyable, hassle-free shots.
