The Lola Miffy Digital Camera is the cutest camera I’ve ever tested — and it’s just so fun for everyday photography

Cameras don’t all have to look serious, and the Lola Miffy Digital Camera proves it. A Miffy-themed design, a Miffy-themed friendship bracelet/camera strap, and Miffy-themed filters make this the cutest camera I’ve ever tested. It’s easy to use, making it great for casual or travel photography, and it captures 8MP images as well as 4K video. Battery life is solid, too, lasting up to three days on a single charge.

But the Lola Miffy struggles from slight shutter lag which often results in missed shots, and given its tiny sensor, it struggles in dimly lit environments. And while you get a 20x digital zoom, image quality drops significantly as you zoom in.

Is this still the best cheap camera for you? Read my full Lola Miffy Digital Camera review to find out.

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Specs

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Price & availability

Launched in July 2026, the Lola Miffy Digital Camera is a special edition of the base Lola Digital Camera, and it retails for $109 at Lola U.S. / £79 at Urban Outfitters U.K. It’s priced similarly to the Kodak PIXPRO C1 ($99) and the Kodak PIXPRO FZ45 ($99).

The Lola Miffy is a little pricier than other compact cameras we’ve tested, like the Camp Snap 2 ($69) and the Camp Snap CS-Pro ($99), but these are screen-free cameras that don’t let you see your shots until you’re at your computer. In its essence, the Lola Miffy is similar to the Kodak Charmera ($30) — it’s a hobby camera and a fashion accessory. The Miffy edition is Lola’s second-ever collaboration, the first being with Betty Boop. While the Lola Miffy won’t capture award-winning photos, I still think it’s worth the money because of how darn cute it is.

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Design

The Lola Miffy Digital Camera is extremely portable and pocketable, making it perfect for your travels and everyday photography. The camera measures 3.75 x 2.25 x 0.75 inches and weighs about 8oz (including battery and card), and I had no problem carrying it around in my trousers’ pocket. I even took it to a musical festival and again, didn’t feel weighed down by it. It’s easy to use with one or both hands, too. It’s heavier than the 3.8oz Camp Snap 2 but the tradeoff is better build quality (more on that shortly).

One of the Lola Miffy’s biggest selling points is its adorable design — it’s the cutest camera or gadget I’ve ever used, really. As its name suggests, Miffy, the adorable cartoon bunny I grew up watching, adorns the front, along with four gold stars. The camera is wrapped in a lovely shade of blue. A Miffy-themed friendship charm bracelet is attached to the camera and it functions as a strap for wrapping the camera around your wrist. You can also buy a Miffy-themed pouch at checkout. Overall, the design is 10/10, no notes. One of my friends took one look at it and said, “I’m buying it. Right now.” So there’s that.

Build quality is decent, too. The camera is made entirely of plastic and surprisingly, it doesn’t feel extremely plasticky or cheap, unlike the Kodak PIXPRO C1 and the Camp Snap 2.

Monitor

Similar to other cheap compact cameras I’ve tested, the Lola Miffy doesn’t feature a viewfinder so you’ll be relying on the 2.8-inch IPS Color screen for framing your shots. Lola doesn’t specify the screen’s resolution, but I found it easy to read in most lighting conditions. It got a little tricky under direct sunlight, though.

The Lola Miffy’s screen doesn’t flip out or up, like on the Kodak PIXPRO C1, making it difficult to take selfies, if that’s your jam. The camera does feature a small mirror on the front, though, which you can use to frame your selfies. It takes some trial and error, but it’s handy to have. The selfie above was taken using the mirror for framing, and it’s turned out great.

Ports

You don’t get a lot in terms of ports. This is a very stripped-back camera, and there’s just one USB-C port on the Lola Miffy. This can be used to charge the camera or to transfer photos to your laptop. If you want to transfer photos directly to your phone while you’re on the move, you can add the Lola Mobile SD Card Adapter at checkout.

On the camera’s right-hand edge, you’ll find the slot for the SD card as well as the battery pack. Unlike on the Kodak PIXPRO C1, the Lola Miffy’s battery and SD card are protected by a sliding plastic cover.

Weather-sealing

The Lola Miffy isn’t weather-sealed, just like the Camp Snap 2, so I wouldn’t recommend using it in very rainy or dusty conditions. I captured a few snaps when it started drizzling at a music festival and the camera survived, but again, exercise caution and do so at your own risk. If you want a rugged camera that’s weather-proof and can even survive a few tumbles, I’d recommend spending extra on the Kodak PIXPRO WPZ2 ($179).

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Controls

The Lola Miffy Digital Camera is extremely easy to use, thanks to its straightforward controls. The shutter button is located next to the power button on the top plate, and half-pressing the former makes the camera focus on your subject. You’ll find your standard navigation buttons next to the monitor on the back, as well as “W” and “T” buttons for zooming in and out.

The buttons give good tactile feedback, and the camera’s menu system is straightforward and easy to understand. Pressing the left navigation button while shooting lets you cycle through 20 filters and Miffy-themed frames, too, which is fun and lets you get creative with your shots.

One thing to note, though, is that there’s a one-second lag between pressing the shutter button and capturing the image. Given that the shutter takes a second to engage, it resulted in me missing a few shots — or telling my friends to hold their pose for longer. This is similar to what we’ve seen on the Camp Snap 2 and the Camp Snap CS-Pro. While not a dealbreaker, it can be quite annoying.

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Lens

The Lola Miffy Digital Camera is fitted with an 8MP CMOS sensor with a focal length of 26mm — just like the Kodak PIXPRO C1. This focal length is wide enough for landscape shots, arm-length selfies, group photos, and casual travel photography. Lola doesn’t specify the camera’s focal range, and there’s no dedicated macro mode like on the Kodak PIXPRO C1. I found it enough to take photos of my friends and landscapes, though.

One of the Lola Miffy’s headline features is its 20x digital zoom which, in theory, lets you take close-up shots of subjects without physically getting close to them. But because you only have 8MP at your disposal, you quickly lose pixels as you zoom in, and there’s a noticeable downgrade in image quality, too (more on this shortly).

The Lola Miffy’s lens has a fixed f/2.4 aperture. On paper, that’s wide enough to let a lot of light into the sensor, and capture good images in low-light conditions. However, because the camera’s sensor is quite small, images taken in dimly lit environments generally come out noisy and low-quality. This is similar to the Kodak PIXPRO C1’s f/2 aperture and the camera’s low-light performance.

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Image quality

Image 1 of 11

The Lola Miffy Digital Camera is designed for anyone who wants to capture memories — which is exactly what I did. I photographed a music festival and my daily life in Bath, U.K., and I’m pleased with the photos. Because the resolution is limited to 8MP, the photos aren’t the best quality, but they have a nice retro touch to them, as you can see above.

I love the colors the camera has captured. While the greens look slightly washed out in a few shots, that’s what I was expecting from a cheap compact camera anyway, so I don’t mind. The edges of the buildings and bridge look sharp, as does the photo of my partner. The camera’s autofocus performs surprisingly well, too, and I found it quick enough to focus on humans and birds.

As I mentioned before, you get access to 20 Miffy-themed frames and filters, examples of which you can see above. These can be applied when you’re taking the shot by pressing the left navigation button — they can’t be applied retrospectively. I’m sure this will please fans of the Dutch fictional bunny, especially millennials (like myself) who grew up watching her. There are color filters, too, like red, cyan, black and white, and more, and these can help you get creative shots.

So, how about that 20x digital zoom? On paper, it sounds very handy as it can help you get close-up shots of distant subjects without moving physically yourself. While it’s useful, the image quality deteriorates rapidly. In the gallery above, the first shot was taken at 20x zoom and the second is the same photo but zoomed all the way out — and it’s the same for the second series of the church.

The drummer in the first shot and the church clock in the third are blurry, pixelated and the edges aren’t well-defined. They aren’t usable at all, if I’m being honest. So while the zoom is nice to have, it doesn’t add much.

The Lola Miffy’s low-light performance is nothing to write home about either. On a mirrorless camera, f/2.4 aperture is generally fantastic as it lets more light into the sensor, and enables you to get better shots in dimly lit environments — not on the Lola Miffy, though, as the sensor is just too small.

The image above was taken in a dark room, with just a small light source to the right of the shelving unit. As you can see, it’s extremely noisy and grainy. It appears washed out and not at all what it looked like to my naked eye. This is similar to the Kodak PIXPRO C1’s and the Kodak Charmera’s low-light performance.

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Video quality

Alongside capturing stills, the Lola Miffy Digital Camera can record HD 720P, 4K, and 2.7K video — although Lola doesn’t specify frame rates. You can watch a compilation of 4K clips above. While the colors have come out nicely, with a retro tinge akin to the images, the clips are quite choppy, which I’m guessing is because of a low frame rate.

The quality reminds me of the home videos my parents made of me when I was a child — or like these videos were recorded on the Camp Snap CS-8 ($139). The camera is sufficient enough when it comes to recording videos for fun, but not for serious vlogging.

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Battery life

I’ve tested many, many cameras as a reviews writer, from the expensive Leica Q3 43 ($7,380) to the super cheap Lomography Simple Use ($27), but I’ve never seen a brand describe a camera’s battery life quite like Lola. The Lola Miffy Digital Camera is rated for two to three days of use. Lola doesn’t specify the number of shots a single charge can yield, or the optimal shooting conditions for extending battery life. Just two to three days of vibes.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing as the Lola Miffy is designed for casual photographers, and people who want a camera just for fun. “Two to three days,” then, makes a lot of sense, as that’s what the camera’s target audience will most care about. In my testing, the camera lasted me just under three days of use, having used it extensively at a two-day music festival. I found the battery indicator reliable, too, as it steadily went from green to yellow to red.

Lola Miffy Digital Camera review: Verdict

If you want a fun, no-frills digicam to capture everyday life, take to music festivals or on your travels, the Lola Miffy Digital Camera easily warrants a recommendation. It’s 10/10, Miffy-themed design is one of its biggest selling points, and it captures good images with a retro aesthetic, too. You also get 4K video capabilities, and an array of Miffy-themed frames and filters for creative shots. Battery life is strong, and the camera itself is extremely easy to use.

But as a cheap compact camera, the Lola Miffy isn’t without its faults. There’s slight shutter lag which can result in missed shots, and low-light performance isn’t great. But if neither of those sound like dealbreakers to you, and all you want is a portable camera that doubles as a fashion accessory, the Lola Miffy should be your port of call. It’s become a permanent part of my day bag now.
