- PetaPixel 3/10
Did I enjoy the actual user experience of the Caira? No.
-
The vast collection of AI features and tech built into the Caira hasn’t fixed the inherent clunkiness to the experience of an app-reliant camera.
-
Caira is clever, but it’s also a reminder that the line between creativity and automation is now blurrier than the photos from my first roll of film.

In day-to-day use, I found the Caira to be incredibly meaningful.

AI is here. We have to embrace it. We have to appreciate it. We have to know it exists. We have to know that what it can do for you as a content creator, a photographer or a vlogger for instance. So that said, I think there is something here with Caira.

I promise I am very impressed with your camera.
