    Cute retro camera for memory keeping

    I like the camera. The color is cute (light pink) and the size is not very big so that's convenient. It looks well built, comes with a small wrist strap, batteries are included, and the instructions on how to install the film cartridge were pretty easy to follow. Most of the pictures I have taken look nice with the exception of a few. The camera has 4 or 5 settings to pick from but it is not always clear which one I should pick depending on the lighting conditions. It supposedly turns on a light to suggest to you which setting to pick but from my experience with this, that doesn't always work out. I suppose as with all photography it will take more trial and error...and wasted film. I wish it came with a neck strap, but oh well.

    Bought this for my daughter for Christmas and she fell in love with it. It's cheap enough as far as price point goes to not break your pockets and is pretty durable long as they are taken care of. Various colors makes it easy to find something for anyone. Only complaint is that you will have to mess with the lighting to get it right. Other than that a good buy Mos Def.

    Works great, just make sure you take close up pictures and that lighting is not to bright.

    My girls are having fun snapping pics of their friends. Still need to work on the lighting & focusing. Film is pricey to keep messing up. Ha!

    I'm loving that instant cameras are back and this particular camera is definitely a good choice. So easy to operate. The one thing that I find challenging, which is getting better through trial and error, is getting the perfect picture when it comes to lighting. Indoor photos (in less than bright lighting) tend to come a little dark. Like I said, it's a matter of getting the hang of it, but film doesn't grow on trees.

    My husband and I love using this camera for special events. It's a little tough figuring out the correct setting to use. It automatically tells you which one to pick based on the lighting, but sometimes it wastes a sheet. The pictures come out smaller than normal polaroids. I love it because it's fun and old school and it's not digital. Great for scrap booking.

    I bought this as a gift for my niece who is going away to college so she can create quick memories with friends. It takes good pictures for the price of the camera. Just make sure you have the right lighting, otherwise the picture will come out dark. Overall though she's been very happy with it. Most likely going to get myself one in the near future.

    The mode function on the camera did not work. It did not keep the camera from working. Just couldn't choose specific lighting. The camera will have to be exchanged for one that works properly.

    The pictures are small considering the size of the camera which is pretty big. Price point is fair. Also, background lighting could be better

    We bought this camera to use at our guest table for our wedding. Very easy to use and guests loved it. The only thing is that lighting makes quite a difference when taking photos. A lot of our photos looked washed out, most likely because of low lighting. However still a fun product to use and lightweight.

    It's really cute the camera is very modern with all its expected vintage features. The flash is really bright and a type of light should be used or the pictures come out very dark. It has the option to change the light setting depending on the light and time of day. It works wonderfully. I am totally happy with this.

    This take me back to my childhood. This was a hit at get family outings and with friends. the only thing is the pic are smaller and you gotta get closer and have get indoor lighting. My daughter loves it because you get the pic right away... You gotta keep film on hand that is the only draw back

    Reminds me of the old Polaroid cameras but with a modern twist. Have to learn the lighting to get the best pictures. Bought my daughter one and then wanted to buy one for myself.

    Taking pictures with his camera is a lot of fun, the lighting is the only issue I have with this. We need to be very cautious about when and where we took the pictures to get the best quality

    My two youngest kids can't get enough of this camera. They love taking pictures of everything. Wish it was easier to adjust the lighting and exposure. Some pictures turn out too dark or too light.
