Flashback ONE75 Brings Brass Controls and Double Exposure to a Screen-Free Camera

The Flashback ONE75 is a screen-free camera with aluminum plates, brass controls and a double exposure mode. Flashback priced it at $179 and opened pre-orders on its US store. The company says orders arrive before Christmas, although the product page already shows low stock. Each ONE75 shoots 13MP vertical photos in 27-shot rolls, and you view them later in the Flashback app. Pre-order it for the design, but wait for reviews if low-light quality matters to you.

I grew up using a 110 film camera, so waiting for photos feels familiar to me. However, Flashback lets you skip the wait. Film Camera Mode holds your photos for 24 hours, while Digicam Mode shows them in the app once you transfer a roll.

The ONE75 costs $270 less than the closest vertical-frame camera on sale, Fujifilm’s $449 X Half. If you want a rear screen and a camera now, the X Half fits. It also has an 18MP 1-inch sensor, so it wins on specs, not on price.

A vertical-frame compact with an optical viewfinder, film simulations and a 2.4-inch rear screen.

Flashback lists the details below on its ONE75 product page. Digital Camera World supplied the UK, Australian and Canadian prices.

Flashback also adds a free case in the cart while supplies last. In the box, you get a USB-C cable, a USB-A adapter, a Lightning adapter and a sticker sheet.

The ONE35 V2 costs $119, so the ONE75 asks for $60 more. Flashback says the ONE75 sits beside the V2 and does not replace it. Digital Camera World lists 13MP for both cameras.

Aluminum plates and brass controls give the ONE75 a metal build, where the V2 is styled like a disposable camera. You pick film looks on the camera with the dial and OLED display. The ONE75 also adds double exposure and a 25mm threaded mount for filters and add-on lenses.

Both cameras use 27-shot rolls and a wind-on control, and both reveal photos through the Flashback app.

Amateur Photographer rated the V2 3.5 out of 5 and found its low-light results limited. Flashback has not said whether the ONE75 uses the same sensor. Do not read the V2 review as a verdict on the new camera. I like the optional 24-hour wait, and Digicam Mode covers the times you want a photo now.

Flashback lists 13MP but does not publish the sensor size. The product page also leaves out lens focal length, aperture, battery capacity, storage capacity, weight and dimensions. Digital Camera World noted the same gaps, and Flashback has given no exact ship date.

These gaps matter because the sensor and lens decide image quality. A 13MP count says little about low-light results or sharpness. Wait for a first-hand review before you judge the pictures.

Two promised features also depend on a future app update. Flashback plans custom film presets with sliders for halation, chromatic aberration, saturation and exposure. The app should also let you redevelop a roll with a different look, although the pre-order page lists no date for the update.

Fujifilm’s X Half is the clearest rival. It costs $270 more and has a 10.8mm f/2.8 lens, a rear screen and direct printing to instax Link printers. Because it records JPEG files only, RAW editors should read our Fujifilm X Half price drop article first.

Camp Snap’s 110D costs $74.99 and shoots 8MP JPEGs through five on-camera filters. It offers no RAW files, manual controls or tripod socket, and our Camp Snap 110D article lists late October shipping.

If you want a camera in hand sooner, two options ship now. The Campsnap V105 8MP Compact Digital Camera is a separate model from the 110D, has no display and stores JPEGs on an SD card. Fujifilm’s QuickSnap Flash 400 One-Time-Use Camera gives you 27 ISO 400 exposures and a built-in flash. The film still needs processing. Our QuickSnap black-and-white article covers the family.

Pre-order the ONE75 if you want the design more than the specs. You pay $60 more than the V2 for metal, brass, film choices on the body and double exposure.

Waiting for reviews carries one risk, since Flashback already shows low stock. Dim-room shooters should accept the risk, because Flashback has not published sensor or lens data.

If you want a camera before Christmas with no wait, buy the Campsnap V105 for a screen-free camera or the QuickSnap for real film. Pick the X Half if you want a screen and published specs.

V2 owners have less reason to switch. According to Digital Camera World, the V2 will also get custom presets through the beta app.

RAW shooters should note the limit. The ONE75 exports DNG files over USB-C to a PC or Mac, because the app handles JPEGs. Fujifilm’s X Half records JPEG files only.

The ONE75 gives you a metal body, double exposure and film choices for $60 more than the V2. I like the design, but I would wait for sensor and lens details before I pre-order. Watch Flashback’s product page for the missing details.

Flashback sells the ONE75 for $179 in the US. Digital Camera World lists £139.95 in the UK, AU$249.95 in Australia and CA$254.95 in Canada. Pre-orders arrive before Christmas, according to Flashback.

It has no screen for viewing photos. A small OLED display shows film choice and settings, and you see your photos in the Flashback app after you transfer a roll.

Yes, as DNG files. You need a PC or Mac and a USB-C connection to export them, because the mobile app handles JPEGs.

No. Film Camera Mode adds the 24-hour wait, while Digicam Mode shows photos in the app once you transfer them.

It costs $60 more and adds an aluminum and brass body plus film choices on the camera. Image quality is unknown, because Flashback has not published sensor or lens details.
