KODAK Printomatic Full-Color Instant Print Digital Camera - Colorful Photos On Zink 2x3" Sticky-Back Photo Paper - 5MP, Portable, Creative Fun Gift for Birthday, Christmas, Holiday - Yellow

Love this camera! It's very easy to use. It doesn't come charged, so if you're having trouble with it, plug it in (hold the power button to turn it on). There are three lights on the bottom left: battery, printing, and SD card. If the battery is white, it's fine to use, if printing is white, it's printing, and if SD card is red there's no micro SD (white means there is). The pictures it takes are super cute and very fun, but don't buy this if you're expecting iPhone or other camera quality pictures. They're different than polaroid prints, but are very similar quality to cameras from the early 2000s/2010s or so. You can see everything but it's not going to be super vivid and the color will be a little off. Also, try to take pictures in light, but as you can see in the last photo, the camera won't always adjust to super bright light like another camera would.I bought this as the used (like new description) and it was in perfect condition. The box had a slight mark but had never been opened. This product comes with 10 sheets of paper, but if you're looking to buy more, amazon has HP Zink 2x3 sticky back paper that is cheaper than the Kodak brand of the same exact thing, and works just as well. Really no difference, just a few dollars more.Last thing: in the instruction manual it comes with, the black and white vs color switch instructions seem to be slightly wrong. If you can see the three colorful dots, your photo will come out in color. If the dots are grey and black, it'll be black and white. The manual seemed to reverse this, so I figured I'd mention it. :)

I bought these for my wedding last weekend. The idea was for people to take pictures throughout the evening so we could have a few instant photos of the event. I was a bit worried that people would not know how to take a photo with this camera because I tried it myself and it seemed more difficult than I expected. So I put a few people in charge of teaching others how to use it.Despite this strategy, chaos ensued. People kept pressing the power button instead of the photo button. People kept asking if the camera took the photo or not, how long to pose for, and when the photo would come out. It takes like 45 seconds before it spits out your photo with no indication (sound, light, etc) to notify you of the status. Because of this unbearable pause, people just try taking new photos. Sometimes it spit out these additional photos and sometimes it does not. There is no consistency. Most photos wound up decapitating people's heads. The photo color created a sort of demonic ambiance.However, it was these issues that caused many guests to bond throughout the night. The confusion surrounding this product and photos generated from it caused many hearty laughs. It's clunky process has created a nostalgic memory.

Tl;Dr: This is a good LOOKING product, and does exactly what it says it will. However, photo quality is not at all what it should be, and the mechanics are quite finicky. If you must have an instant-develop camera, keep looking.I researched instant-print cameras and this was supposed to be a good choice if you want a photo larger than two postage stamps put together. Unfortunately, more research after I got it home and tried it out (and assumed I must be doing something wrong) tells me that no, it's just not a good product for what it's supposed to do: take and print photos.The quality of the pictures is terrible. Blurry, with washed out colors, and color that is just plain incorrect (a medium jewel purple came out almost pastel, etc). The lack of control over flash is a serious flaw as the camera's sensor seems to think it needs to go off any time you're indoors and not in the very brightest of lighting, so on top of everything the photos often come out seriously over-exposed. I get the feeling you'd get much better results taking pics from about six feet away (as is the intended use), but didn't waste more film trying that out.You're better off snapping pictures with your phone and taking a few extra seconds to just print them out in a small size. Very disappointed. Really wanted this to work so I could easily take pictures for journaling, but the photo quality is a non-starter, especially for the price.In addition:- The button to take a photo is VERY sensitive, so don't hold your finger anywhere near it until you're ready to take a picture- The frame in the viewfinder is extreeeemely inaccurate for photos that are taken within a few feet of the subject. I went through probably three to five shots before I figured out how to take them without getting several inches cut off of each side.- Definitely get extra film out of the gate (and I recommend a little case, too, otherwise it's just sitting out waiting to get scratched or banged around). The starer pack mine came with had five sheets, not ten, and I went through all of them just on the learning curve.

works fine, and can take around a full pack and a half at most before you'd have to charge it again. the charging cable is micro (why) so it's slow for a full charge- a couple hours. it prints through heat, and it's best not to shake the camera while it's printing.they say to take a picture/print one at a time, but i've found that you can queue up pictures to print. ALSO!! even if you don't have film and only want the digital photos, it will STILL RUN THE PRINTING PROCESS even WITHOUT film!i'd say this is for casual enjoyers who maybe want to capture and print quick photos and stick in their journals (like i do). the photo quality (digitally) is fine, cute, whatever, but the print quality is extremely spotty at best. visible heat lines and colors simply leaning wayyy too purple sometimes. but it's whatever, if i wanted GOOD looking photos i would have bought something else, but the best aspect about the kodak printomatic has to be the film it uses and the fact they can act as stickers.
