PolyShot Camera Focuses On Nostalgia

Maker Arnov Sharma built a DIY point-and-shoot digital camera called PolyShot, using the Unihiker K10 dev board with an ESP32-S3, a 2-megapixel camera module, and a micro SD card for storage. A custom PCB houses three buttons for shutter, gallery, and next image, with the battery compartment doubling as a grip. Current limitations include a several-second shutter delay and around three hours of battery life. Future plans include improving image quality, extending battery life, and eventually designing a custom board around the ESP32-S3 instead of relying on the Unihiker.
