Miss the Game Boy Camera? Pixless just might be the next best thing. This tiny device takes 0.03-megaixel images (256 x 128) that resemble the pixel art masterpieces you grew up with, or least for some of us.
Images are captured line by line to conserve RAM, and resampled using a custom 4-64 color palette, which can be user-defined and uploaded to the SD card. This data is then enlarged by a factor of 8 (making each pixel 8×8 pixels) to avoid blurriness on various devices. It even has a 1″ monochrome OLED screen that acts as the electronic viewfinder, shutter release, and power button. You can pre-order one now for $73 USD, with shipments beginning in April.
