Where To Buy Secondhand & Y2K Digicams In Singapore
For those who want a Y2K vibe on their social media grids.
By Lucy Lauron,
From 2000s-era fashion pieces like the Chloe Paddingtonbag, to the rise of the low-rise jean, the obsession with Y2k has seeped into almost every aspect of our lives — and technology is no exception. Cue the digicam. Because why use your modern, high-tech phone camera when the fuzzy, low-resolution look of a digicam from the early 2000s is far more vibe-y? Not to mention, so Y2K.
What’s more, with 2026 being declared the year we return to analogue, this is the year to hop onto this nostalgia-fuelled photography trend. If you’re on the market for a 2000s-era digicam, these are the best stores in Singapore to thrift secondhand and Y2K digicams.
RETROLENS
For a curated selection of high-quality secondhand 2000s-era digicams, Retrolens is the store you should be at. From 2000s-era Fujifilms and Nikons, to newer models from Samsung and Canon, this store offers an amazing curation of quality digicams, and even provides a free memory card, battery and charger with each camera. The store even has a Telegram channel where customers can purchase, browse through available models, prices, and view photo samples so you can find a camera with the exact vibe you’re going for.

It specialises in compact digital cameras, selling a curation of vintage and secondhand models that any budding photographer would be able to appreciate. If you’d prefer to stick to online browsing though, it also has a Telegram channel.
