    Kind of fun at first but the fun didn't last that long. Plus the refills are kind of expensive.

    This was my granddaughter’s Christmas gift and she was so excited! Until we realized there was no film included as she excitedly tried to find it. We looked all through the gift wrap debris certain it must be there. No. Nowhere did it say in the description or box that film was not included. Put that in the description and on the box!

    I can't believe they made an old fashion camera and think she has already stopped using it.

    Bought this as a Christmas present for my daughter and sadly this product did not live up t the hype. The camera won’t switch settings and yet the setting that it is stuck on will produce dark images even in bright daylight. Will return and convince her that the novelty of the instant picture is not ready for prime time.

    I’m not sure if mine was defective but these things do not take good pictures. Go buy a used one if you HAVE TO HAVE IT it was a total waste of money. Convince your child they don’t need this item it sucks. My $15 holga from eBay was way better and uses real film and super hipster

    An instant photo camera was all the rage in the decades ago. While the print quality cannot match current other products it is fun for the kids and their friends. But you can burn through $20 in film in short order. Tossed aside when they got cell phones.

    Not even a year of my having my camera, it stopped working. I've never dropped it or got it wet but when it was time to change the batteries it just wouldn't cut on. I bought 3 different brand of batteries.

    The camera won't even turn on, and I apparently missed the return window. Should not have bought so far ahead of Christmas. Will not do Christmas shopping at Best Buy again.

    Never worked. It took really dark photos from day one so I ended up paying to send it to the company that made it. Just worked the first day and started doing the same thing after that, a waste of money

    Camera never worked right from the box. Every picture is black! Probably a defective camera, but I didn’t have time to take it back as Best Buy is 40 minutes away and I was super pregnant!
