New details have emerged about Caira, the new Nano Banana camera we recently reported on.
While we already knew that Caira is one The Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera that connects to iPhones via a MagSafe connection and gives you enhanced image editing capabilities using Google’s Nanao Banana, it’s now been revealed that you’ll be able to access the camera using voice commands like “take a picture” and “make it black and white”.

Snap, record and share
Once the Caira camera body has been attached to your iPhone – a process as simple as touching the two together thanks to MagSafe – you can control the Caira with an iOS app designed to be easy to use for camera beginners.
Every photo you take with Caira is instantly available in your iPhone’s Photos app, effectively eliminating the need for memory cards and meaning you can share your work instantly, from your iPhone.
In terms of specs, the camera features an advanced 4/3″ Sony dual-native ISO Micro Four Thirds image sensor, an interchangeable MFT lens mount, and a 5,000 mAh battery. You’ll need your own lens to use with the Caira body.
A standout feature of Caira is its ability to perform generative editing thanks to Google’s Nano Banana, an AI-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 pretty much any request you like, like “turn his red coat to navy” or “turn this day scene into night”.
Not just a new camera
“With Caira, we’re not just launching a new camera on Kickstarter; we’re introducing an intelligent 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 from their smartphone to their first mirrorless camera. They’re overwhelmed and frustrated by complex camera buttons and the tedious post-production editing workflows that come with creating high-quality content. These people want more than just great image quality – they need flexibility and fast connectivity to match their imaginations.”
Caira will have an MSRP of $995 (that’s for the 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 get Caira Pro, its $7-a-month Generative Editing software subscription, free for six months. Camera Intelligence says that if it reaches its stretch goal, it will extend this to nine months.
Camera Intelligence says shipping to Kickstarter backers will be ready for delivery from mid-January to late February 2026, depending on the country of destination.
