Customer Ratings & Reviews

I miss Polaroid cameras for the instant film development feature. I had hoped this camera would replicate that experience. Instead it only replicates frustration. There is a single LED status light at the top of the unit that flashes different colors based on what the camera is doing which was more often than not making random noises that had most of us scratching our head asking "so is it printing???" When it does print, the image quality of the prints is pretty cool for a device this tiny, but also terrible in that vivid prints look washed out and color printers look faded. The Black and White prints actually look wonderful so if Black and White is what you are after this makes a great print. The battery life is abysmal. I made the mistake of fully charging it then expecting it to be ready for use the next day. The next day we got one photo taken and then the battery died which spoiled a lot of the experience. The camera ships with a 10 pack of the paper that you burn through that pretty quickly just trying to learn what the flashing lights mean. At $10 for an additional 20 sheets of paper, this camera will get expensive quick. Instead of printing you can opt to store the photos on an SD card but I found myself asking why I would bother doing this when kids have tablets and smartphones these days. Overall this product was fun for the first pack of photos and lost most its appeal shortly after.

This camera is a lot of fun. It's more portable than the polaroid type instant cameras and the Zink sticker film is great (although my kids love stickers too much - getting tired of taking pictures off of things). However, there are some flaws that caused me to give only a two star rating. First, the picture quality is not great. I realize it's an instant film camera so the quality will not be the best. But the prints lack the same charm that you get from a polaroid type instant film camera. So you just get bad prints. Second, the instructions that come with the camera are terrible. When I took my first picture, the paper insert you insert with the film comes out. I figured it was just a dead exposure like polaroids have when you insert new film. But the camera kept whirring and whirring and the actual picture came out. I thought it was already broken, and almost tried to turn it off while it was printing. Also, it has room for an SD card, but it's not a digital camera. So what does it do? Does it save picture you take? Or can you print out pictures from the SD card? There's not buttons for printing so I assume it's not the latter, but the instructions are silent about it. Third, the printing seems slower than a polaroid type camera. Fourth, the selfie mirror on the lens is not great. It's better than nothing, but it's hard to see especially if there's a lot of light and glare. Finally, the backing of the Zinc film is very difficult to peel off to use as a sticker. Pretty much every time I fray a corner to the picture trying to separate the backing. Overall a fun camera that I probably won't really use once the novelty of the sticker film wears off. No one is expecting the best picture quality from a camera like this, but it could be better. Or at least, more charming bad like a polaroid.

I was not impressed with this camera and I was definitely not the target demographic for it. Canon is typically held in high regard for quality, especially optically quality. This product surprisingly disappoiints as it tries to be a new generation instant camera. I found the colors to be hued green on every picture I took with it. Canon is a great company, but this product is too much of a gimmick for me.

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas. She loves it! It takes great pictures and the peel and stick photo paper allows kids to stick pix on notebooks or in diaries or wherever.

Have an issue with the pictures not printing out clearly they have lines on them
