Campix brings 36-shot rolls back to a digital camera

Fotorgear's Campix groups digital pictures into 36-frame rolls and puts a waist-level screen above a camera with tactile controls. This is an ongoing crowdfunding story, not a launch today: Chinese outlet IT Home covered it on November 8, following an October 27 update to the maker's FAQ.

The maker says it shoots without a connected phone. Its app provides digital developing and new looks, while JPEG and RAW/DNG support leave room for editing. Its proprietary lens interface currently excludes third-party lenses. These are maker claims, not our test results.

IT Home reported a $109 basic early-bird tier and planned January 2027 shipping. Those are historical terms, not a verified current offer. The maker says shipping charges come later. At 8:33 a.m. Beijing time on November 13, the official campaign page displayed 347 comments, evidence of discussion rather than a backer count. Live funding and backer totals could not be read.

The appeal is a slower shooting ritual. We have not verified independent testing of a finished unit. Crowdfunding is not a store: delivery and promised features are not guaranteed.
