Of all the film-to-digital camera conversions I’ve seen, this has to be one of the most fun. I mean, who wouldn’t want to turn what is ordinarily a medium format film camera – even if it is a “toy camera” – into a 128×128 monochrome digital camera? I suppose it’s fitting that the creator of this one went with a Gameboy camera, in-keeping with that “toy camera” theme.
It’s the creation of photographer Michael Fitzmayer, and it utilises the Gameboy Camera module and an ESP32 microcontroller. It has no controls other than a button to shoot a photo. You can’t adjust any settings at all. There’s no screen to preview your shot or review images back, either. You just look through the little plastic viewfinder to get a rough idea of composition, hit the shutter and hope for the best.
