These days, young people have been using digital cameras instead of smartphones to take photos, making it seem like the trend of "everything old is new again" applies to tech, too. So we aren't surprised to see products like the Pieni M, a tiny but fully functional digital camera by Kenko Tokina. Pieni, meaning "small" in Finnish, lives up to its name. Despite its size, it takes photos and videos, offers a watercolour effect for your pictures, and has various filters. It even has a small LCD screen for previewing and a USB port and microSD support for transfer.

While the image quality might not rival smartphones, the Pieni M is perfect for those seeking a nostalgic aesthetic. It's small enough to hold between two fingers and has a strap for easy carrying. Available in black and grayish blue, it caters to fans of unique photography gadgets. The Kenko Tokina Pieni M retails online for around €48 (roughly CA$71).
