This slim camera has a transparent LCD screen for a viewfinder
Godox has released the C100, a minimalist point-and-shoot camera that replaces a traditional digital preview screen with a transparent LCD viewfinder. The device is designed for simplicity and can also function as a light meter for other cameras.
Why it matters
It highlights the growing consumer trend of returning to analog-style photography experiences and minimalist hardware in an era dominated by complex smartphones.
Despite the fact that smartphones have become impressively capable shooters, standalone point-and-shoot cameras are enjoying a renaissance. The tiny Kodak Charmera is still wildly popular, while influencers are scrambling to find aging Canon cameras on eBay. Godox, a company best known for its photography lighting products, is the latest to join the simple camera craze, but its new C100 stands out from the crowd by skipping a color preview screen for a transparent LCD that doubles as an optical viewfinder.
