B&M enthusiasts express feeling old as younger shoppers appear puzzled by a new gift set at the store. The discount retailer is now offering a £20 point-and-shoot digital camera, which comes in black or pink.
After TikTok user @_emilydooganx showcased the camera, there was a mix of reactions. While some shoppers were excited, others seemed unsure about how to operate it. Emily’s post exclaimed, “Hurry to B&M for a digital camera priced at £20!” One fan eagerly responded, “This is my cue.”
Comments varied with one person saying, “I must have this,” another stating, “I need it now,” and a different fan suggesting a lunchtime trip to B&M the next day. However, some individuals questioned how to retrieve the photos from the camera.
One comment expressed relief at finding someone who owned the camera but still pondered how to access the photos. Another shopper inquired about linking the camera to a phone and whether the photos print out or are saved directly to a phone.
Several commenters remarked on feeling old witnessing the responses to the video. One viewer found it concerning that people were unsure about transferring photos from such cameras. Another comment noted the generational gap, explaining the process of transferring photos using an SD card.
One person shared a personal memory of carrying a similar camera during their teenage years, while another mentioned still owning a Fujifilm camera from over a decade ago, underscoring the sentimental value attached to such devices.
Reflecting on the evolving technology landscape, one viewer lamented the commercialization of childhood gadgets as nostalgic items and suggested purchasing an older model from eBay for a more authentic experience.
Another comment highlighted the irony of childhood possessions becoming trendy again, prompting feelings of nostalgia and aging. One viewer mentioned retrieving their digital camera from storage, reminiscing about their teenage years in the early 2010s.
In addition to the £20 digital camera, B&M’s website features other camera options, such as the £29 Cylo Instant Print Camera and the £25 Vibes Instant Print Camera. The Vibes model is described as utilizing innovative inkless thermal printing technology for instant black and white prints, ideal for capturing and sharing special moments with loved ones.
