New details have emerged about Caira, the new Nano Banana camera we recently reported on.
Although we already knew that Caira is a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera that connects to iPhones via a MagSafe connection and gives you enhanced photo editing capabilities using Google’s Nanao Banana. It has now been revealed that you will be able to access the camera using voice commands such as “take a photo” and “make it black and white”.
Look
Take, capture and share
Once the Caira camera body has been connected to your iPhone – a process as simple as snapping the two together thanks to MagSafe – you’ll be able to control the Caira with an iOS app designed to be easy to use for camera novices.
Any photo you take with Caira is instantly available in the Photos app on your iPhone, effectively eliminating the need for memory cards and meaning you can share your work immediately, from your iPhone.
In terms of specs, the camera features an advanced Sony native dual 4/3″ Micro Four Thirds ISO image sensor, an interchangeable MFT lens mount, and a 5,000mAh battery. You’ll need your own lens to use it with the Caira body.
A notable feature of Caira is its ability to perform generative editing thanks to Google’s Nano Banana, an artificial intelligence-powered image generation model that allows you to perform advanced image editing in real time using simple natural language prompts using your voice.
You can make almost any request you want, like “turn his red coat into navy blue” or “turn this daytime scene into a nighttime one.”
Not just a new camera
“With Caira, we’re not just launching a new camera on Kickstarter; we’re introducing a smart creative partner,” said Vishal Kumar, CEO and co-founder of Camera Intelligence.
“We’ve spoken to hundreds of solo creators, travelers, and marketers who have upgraded their smartphone to their first mirrorless camera. They’re overwhelmed and frustrated by the complex camera buttons and tedious post-processing editing workflows that come with creating high-quality content. These people want more than just great image quality: They need flexibility, connectivity, and fast, fun editing features that match the pace of their imagination.”
Caira will have an RRP of $995 (body only), but on Kickstarter, Camera Intelligence is offering a super early bird price of $695 (30% off) for the first 100 backers, followed by $795 (20% off) for the remaining backers.
All Kickstarter backers will get Caira Pro, their $7/month generative editing software subscription, free for six months. Camera Intelligence says that if it reaches its ambitious goal, it will extend it to nine months.
Camera Intelligence says shipping for Kickstarter backers will be ready for delivery from mid-January to the end of February 2026, depending on the destination country.
