The NBD P100 is a modern compact camera with a familiar twist; it brings back the sliding front panel made famous by older Sony Cyber-shot models. But under that retro-inspired shell is a capable device with a 64MP sensor, USB-C charging, and 4K video, all at a sub-$100 crowdfunded price.
NBD P100 revives old-school design with new hardware
Instead of a typical power button, the NBD P100 turns on by sliding down its front plate, which also doubles as a lens cover. It’s a nod to Sony’s beloved compact cameras and gives the device a satisfying mechanical action that’s rare on modern tech.
While the look and feel are nostalgic, the internals are all modern. It features a 64MP main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, capable of 4K video at 30 frames per second. Though it lacks optical zoom, it makes up for it with filters, presets, and a surprisingly fast startup time.
NBD P100 features: small body, full feature list
The camera includes a small rear display and a built-in selfie lens, allowing for dual-camera shooting. It’s also USB-C powered, supports microSD storage, and even functions as a webcam a useful perk for streamers and remote workers.
Here’s what the NBD P100 packs:
- Sliding front panel to power on and protect lens
- 64MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture
- 4K video at 30 FPS
- 18 photo filters and scene modes (portrait, night, sports)
- USB-C charging
- Rear selfie camera + screen
- Webcam mode via USB-C
- microSD card slot for storage
Price and availability
The NBD P100 is currently available through Kickstarter for $90 plus fees. Shipments are expected to begin in January, but as with any crowdfunding campaign, delays or adjustments are possible.
Still, for under $100, this camera checks a lot of boxes reviving a design many forgot they missed, while still delivering on the specs today’s users expect. The sliding compact camera might be back, and the NBD P100 makes that feel like a good thing.
