For the #shittycamerachallenge I present the v1 Flashback camera! We’re talking 4 megapixels of resolution, 0 focus, 4 film sims, 27 shots per session, and a suitably hideous flash. It has a janky app that seems to make no one happy and by default it makes you wait 24h for your photos to “develop”.
