    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.

    Contrast and resolution is not good. Flash works but insufficient for good lighting more than 4 feet from subject. The lighting of the subject is okay but background is nearly black.

    Was a Christmas gift 2018. Stopped working 1/2 way through 2nd roll of film. Thinking it was a film issue, my daughter tried a 3rd roll which also resulted in completely black pics. 2 rolls wasted. Warranty is they must receive it back 1 yr FROM DATE OF PURCHASE, and requires you paying shipping back to NJ, plus having the original warranty card and knowing the serial number which is a sticker on the box.

    My daughter received this instant camera from “Santa” this year. To say the very least do not buy this camera. Every single picture we have taken (at least 30) have all come out extremely dark or you can even see what it was that we took a picture of! There were such great reviews and experiences and Ours was nothing like we expected it to be. Day, night, inside, outside, up close, multiple lights... all pictures come out dark and barely visible. The flash does not turn off... ever. Waste of money and a very disappointing Christmas was had.

    Purchased this for my birthday and it stopped working the following day. Super annoying because i was so happy to get it. The lighting setter part was stuck on home. Returned it to best buy and got another one (with the 15 dollar insurance I paid for it) Went home and opened it, and it had the same problem as my broken one without me even taking one picture. Super annoying and a waste of my time.

    We bought this camera for my daughter as a gift. She was very excited about the instant pictures. So far our experience with the camera is that it does not work in the daylight. Any photo you take comes out washed from the sun and is a total loss. We have reviewed all the manuals, settings, etc. and nothing. It is a great concept but will probably return and get something different for her.

    I was so excited to buy this for myself especially because I wanted to take memorable pictures with my new pup. As I was getting it ready to finally use it, the film gets stuck! It was SO hard to remove it because it was the black film that covers the light and has a thin paper like film on top that also covers the light from the top. Now the little light setting won’t stop blicking and I read a review that it blinks uncontrollably because either 1) new set of batteries are needed because the battery power is too low.. (now id have to buy a specific # of battery power for it) or 2) there’s a malfunction with a silver thing inside the camera that believes there’s film in there. Another thing is that it doesn’t power on AT ALL. Just buy a phone printer instead.

    My granddaughter bought this camera for herself. I think the film is expensive and the pictures are small and it’s difficukt to see what the picture even is!

    This camera stopped working after a month. It started taking black photos. After looking into it, there are some many complaints of this camera and piticular brand doing this. They should have gave everyone a new camera or money back. Don't buy this !!! Look on YouTube about it. I ended up buying the Kodak camera works great.

    The flash never goes off when it needs to so all the pictures that I have taken are super dark.

    The first picture developed. All subsequent pictures failed. We tried another roll. Again the first developed and subsequent pictures failed. Just a grey image. This was a disappointing gift to a niece in the UK. Plan to return it when back in the USA. My daughter reports her friend had a similar issue with this product.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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

    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.
