Why We Love This Deal
Digital cameras remain an excellent way to get off your phone and still get elevated photography. But looking at Men’s Journal’s recently-revised overview of the best cameras and drones proves they can be quite expensive, with our most affordably-priced option coming in at $165. Yet, Walmart is currently selling a retro-inspired digital camera for just $32 that not only proves its own worth, but has also quickly become a bestseller among the retailer's shoppers.
The Froura 4K Digital Camera is now over 50% off. It comes in three colors, white, pink, and black, and they're all around the same price. The one caveat is that this is part of a Walmart Flash Sale, a type of deal Walmart has that typically ends the following weekend. If you want in on this deal, pick up your camera now.

Chances are, you’re already looking at the ultimate competitor for this camera: your phone. When the standard smartphone of today can already shoot in 4K, a resolution better than what’s seen in most YouTube videos, other 4K cameras struggle to keep up. It’s no shocker that when our reviewers take on big cameras like the Sony RX1R III or Sony ZV-1, they immediately frame the review around qualities of the camera being better than a phone’s.
Yet, this is very obviously not that kind of camera. Instead, it provides immediacy, a small frame, and big value. Made to clip around your neck, pictures and short movie clips are ready to be taken in an instant, no fumbling in the pocket required. And, yes, the images aren’t going to be post-processed by a phone’s AI to look better than life, giving off that nostalgically authentic look of post-Y2K Myspace selfies. There’s also the chance to be away from your phone for a while, and return to a semblance of the joys of the analog world.
In addition to these benefits of the Froura 4K Digital Camera, there’s also a ton of value to be found here. Included in this set is a 64GB TF storage card, something you should expect to pay $10 for at a minimum these days. We’re in the midst of a RAM and storage crisis, after all. It also has spare battery packs and a pair of clipping lanyards, a cleaning cloth, and a storage case.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Hundreds of shoppers have already given the camera a perfect 5-star rating, with one describing it as an “excellent quality, high speed 4K camera.”
Shoppers typically report using the camera for everyday use or even hobbies like geocaching, but they also mention getting it as a gift for students. This is especially compelling if there is a smartphone ban in place at the school. As one parent said, “The color is cute, it's small enough to carry in her backpack at school, and it's very durable as well.”
The Froura 4K Digital Camera is just $32 while this Walmart Flash Deal lasts.
