Godox C100: A Transparent Viewfinder Camera with Built-in Light Meter
Godox Transparent Viewfinder Camera C100
Godox introduces the C100, a transparent viewfinder camera that combines vintage toy-camera charm with digital utility. It features a built-in center-weighted light meter, an optical viewfinder with a HUD overlay, and supports multiple aspect ratios. Designed for spontaneous shooting, it offers OTG connectivity and up to 128GB storage, appealing to film enthusiasts and lifestyle creators seeking a screen-free, low-barrier photography experience.
By removing instant screen playback, the Godox C100 invites you to shoot freely all day and experience the nostalgic excitement of 'unboxing' your memories.

Optical viewfinder cameras see through a lens and force-align your eyes, so when you change the lens, what you see is different but highly aligned to what the sensor sees.
Here, depending on where you place the thing you see a different thing than the sensor does, the optical path is completely uncontrolled, unless they're doing eye tracking and post processing?
This seems somehow worse than a cell phone camera.

Interesting choice to release a camera and show zero photos taken with it.

Given how cheap this is, I feel like this makes for a great camera to give to a kid. The camera gets out of the way (no built-in games like a lot of kiddy cameras have) and the focus is placed on framing and taking photos, then reviewing later.
I'll probably pick one up just for my kids to experiment with.

Doesn't the picture I "see" depend on how close I get to the "frame"? Does the camera take this into account when making a photo?
