Artemis II astronauts will carry two Nikon D5 DSLRs from 2016 into the Moon’s vicinity to document the mission, along with personal devices and GoPros for a National Geographic documentary; NASA highlights the D5’s low noise, wide dynamic range, and radiation tolerance as reasons for its selection, while future Artemis missions may use newer cameras. A helium-system issue has delayed the launch to at least April.
In 1975, 24-year-old Steve Sasson of Kodak built the first handheld digital camera, an eight-pound device that used a CCD, a Super 8 lens, a cassette for storage, and produced a 0.01-megapixel black-and-white image. The prototype—shown to Kodak executives on a TV—helped launch the shift from film to digital photography, despite initial skepticism that photos would ever be viewed on a screen; Sasson later led patents at Kodak before retiring after 35 years.
Three practical ways to make phone photos feel like analog film: (1) use a mist filter on a lens with a phone adapter to soften details and add highlight bloom; (2) shoot in RAW/ProRAW and slightly overexpose to preserve dynamic range and achieve a brighter, film-like look; (3) edit with apps like Snapseed, VSCO, or Lightroom, applying grain and dialing back overly sharp details, using built-in presets (e.g., Apple Photographic Styles, Samsung My Filter) or external presets to taste for a warm, vintage vibe.

The Flashback One35 V2 is a pocketable, non-disposable digital camera that channels disposable-film vibes with a 13MP sensor, four film simulations, and two app modes (a 24-hour film-view option and an instant Digicam mode). Priced around $100, it’s a fun, social-media-friendly device best used in daylight, with some app instability and a viewfinder that doesn’t perfectly reflect the actual shot. Ideal for casual shooters and as a novelty for pros, it blends nostalgia with modern playful capture.
