Open Box Digital and Vlogging Cameras

Three cameras for three kinds of shooter

These cameras overlap less than you might think. One is built for detailed 4K footage, one for quick clips on the go, and one for young photographers who want to hold a printed photo right away.

For creators who want 4K

The Open Box 4K UHD Digital Vlogging Camera records 4K Ultra HD video and takes 75-megapixel photos. Its 3-inch IPS screen flips 180 degrees, so you can frame yourself while talking to the lens. Autofocus, a 16X digital zoom, a built-in flash, a mode dial and a macro lens cover everything from close-ups to wider scenes, and built-in Wi-Fi sends photos and clips to your phone or computer for quick sharing.

For travel and short clips

The Open Box W&O Q7 Pocket Vlogging Camera is a CCD digital camera small enough to slip into a pocket. Instead of a flip screen, its lens head rotates 180 degrees, switching from a forward view to selfie mode in one move. A colour screen helps you frame and review clips, and quick-access buttons start recording without digging through menus. Customizable stickers in the box make it a fun gift for young creators.

For kids aged 3 and up

The Open Box Kids Instant Print Camera takes photos and videos, then prints black-and-white pictures on thermal paper, with no ink cartridges to replace. Kids can add frames and filters on the colour screen, play the built-in mini games or listen to music, then colour in their prints or stick them in an album. The rounded body is designed to handle light bumps, and the kit includes two rolls of thermal paper and a neck strap.

What every open box digital camera Canada order includes

Open box means the packaging has already been opened, so these cameras aren't sealed-new. We inspect and test each one before it ships, and the contents match what's listed on its product page. Every camera carries a 90-day limited warranty from Gadget Canada, and you can return it within 30 days from delivery in the same condition you received it. Our guide to how we inspect open-box items explains the process.

Before you order

• Read the box contents: the 4K camera lists a rechargeable battery, a cleaning cloth and the manual, while the Q7 lists a charging cable. If you need something that isn't listed, ask our team first.
• Plan for better sound: for interviews or vlogs on your phone, the Open Box H65/H63 Dual Wireless Lavalier Microphone Kit has a receiver with USB-C, Lightning and 3.5 mm connectors. Check that your device has a matching port.
• Think about refills: the kids camera prints on standard thermal paper, so confirm the roll size before buying more.
