I don't even care about cameras, but think it is such a simple and cool design, that I decided to get to have next to my Disney camera and typewriter

Tiago, it was a great video as always, your inside to the world of LEGO is unbeatable. There is just one thing - every time when you review a 3in1 product you only show the main one. I understand it from the filming / production point of view, but as a viewer it would be great to see what you think of other options, see them, but most importantly see how many elements are not used in other variants of the build. I hope my feedback was not disrecpectful, I hope you have a great day :)

The nostalgia for me is all about the camcorder!

Fun fact, the strap isn’t an ENTIRELY new part, as its the exact same strap thats used on the Fender Guitar set, but with a new and more colorful print!

*swings the camera around by the film element*
Also Tiago: "Probably gonna store this away to keep from damaging it." 😂😂

The “new piece” he was talking about actually appeared in the Lego Fender guitar just in a different colour

The red button on the back charged the flash. You held it down until a red light in the view finder illuminated….letting you know the flash was ready for use

I disagree, I actually like the alternate builds too! Especially the camcorder, I had a cheap one as a kid that looked just like it and I brought it everywhere. Having a Lego model on the shelf to remember that would be cool. I might pick this one up!

One thing I think would've been great is if one of the rolls was negative and the other one was positive, feels like a missed opportunity for analog camera nerds. But overall it's a great set

[macdam]

Sounds like an ideal gift for someone into photography as a display model, will keep this one in mind :)

Just checked the price at Kmart here in Australia, and it's AU$22!
US$20 is about AU$30, so it's actually quite approachable for Aussies, which feels like a rarity

This camera is one of my favorite sets to come out in ages. It's just perfect. I ended up buy several copies so that I COULD build the video camera too. That way I can have a shelf of LEGO cameras, with those, the Polaroid, the Disney 100 Camera, and the VIP/Insider one you could get as a reward a while back.

Totally agree. I bought both this 3 in 1 Camera and the Ideas Polaroid and this set stands up very, very well compared to the much more expensive Ideas set.

I had been thinking about which set to get as my first since I was a kid in 2011 and as soon as I saw this it was almost an immediate buy. Got mine yesterday and sits very nice on my book shelf in front of my manga. A great start to getting back into Lego.

[IhorProts]

From the first video with January 1st releases I knew, I should buy it. It looks amazing on the shelf and from distance can be confused with the real camera. Also it looks almost exactly as my first film camera. Amazing build with very cool strap and reasonable price.

The camera looks to be inspired by a lot of 80s SLR cameras like the Nikon FM and the Fujica ST series. With a boxy, small and very nostalgic aesthetic, these are absolutely timeless product designs to take inspiration from, and they've nailed the translation into lego wonderfully!

[TransistorBased]

The black portion not matching the top plate of the camera is probably decently realistic because a good number of film cameras that were intended to be used for handheld shots have extended or enlarged grip sections

[BrickHQ]

This set is awesome! And only $20
Possibly better than the polaroid
I hope Lego makes more Lego cameras including new modern cameras

[MarioManTV]

Just a reminder that there’s an awesome camera on LEGO Ideas, the LEGO ZH1, that functions as a real 35mm film camera. You can take real photos and have them developed.

I’m not a creator collector, but I bought this set because I love it
