Digital cameras from the early 2000s are becoming must-have gadgets for many young people because of a burgeoning trend online.And in the past 12 months, videos with the hashtag #digitalcamera have amassed more than 220 million views on TikTok.Scott Ewart, 32, who lives on the Isle of Arran, has clocked up more than five million likes on his TikTok account, using what is now considered retro kit.
EBay UK told the BBC the last three months of 2022 saw increases in people seeking the devices. This included a 13% rise in search traffic for "vintage digital camera", and a 52% rise for "refurbished camera". For younger people, who will have virtually no recollection of these cameras in their 2000s heyday, this opens up a kind of "nostalgic world", she said.
