KODAK Printomatic Full-Color Instant Print Digital Camera, Zink 2x3" (5.1x7.5 cm) Sticky-Back Photo Paper, 5MP, Portable, Creative Fun Gift for Birthday, Christmas, Holiday, Black

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. :)

So, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I ordered this because there were mucked reviews. For the price, and the fact that it would arrive the same day, I couldn’t resist! So, I received it, same day, as promised and a lot of people said that it didn’t come with a charger. If you read the box and instructions, a charger isn’t included. It uses a micro USB charger. My husband had one so I charged it with that. It also came with some photo paper. The camera itself works pretty well, it takes some getting used to because you think it’s going to have more in the picture than it does. I’m getting better at it though. The photos are not super clear, but they’re not really fuzzy either. Depending on the lighting, the color can look weird. Overall, so far, I’m super happy with it. It’s a fun little camera and to top it all off, they pictures are also stickers.

I really wanted to love the KODAK Printomatic because the idea is so much fun. If you grew up in the '80s or '90s, there's something really nostalgic about taking a picture and having it print instantly on sticky-back paper. For the experience alone, I'd give it an **8/10**. Unfortunately, the **photo quality is terrible**. I'm a white woman, and every single picture makes me look completely washed out—like a ghost. I took photos with friends of different skin tones, and we joked that we looked like a s'more: one friend looked like the chocolate, another like the marshmallow, and I was basically the graham cracker... except you could barely see the marshmallow or the graham cracker because the lighter skin tones were so overexposed. The worst part is that **lighting didn't seem to matter**. We tried indoors, outdoors, bright sunlight, shade, with the sun behind us, and with the light in front of us. The results were consistently disappointing. Faces lacked detail, colors were faded, and everything looked overexposed and low quality. For a camera that costs around **$65**, I expected much better. I wasn't expecting professional-quality photos, but I did expect something decent—maybe a **3–5 out of 10** for image quality. Instead, I'd honestly rate the photo quality a **1/10**, maybe even **0/10**. I'll upload photos with this review so you can judge for yourself. **Pros:** * Fun, nostalgic instant-print experience. * Sticky-back prints are great for journals, scrapbooks, and memory books. * Simple to use. **Cons:** * Extremely poor photo quality. * Lighter skin tones become washed out. * Colors are dull and inconsistent. * Lighting changes make little to no difference. * Not worth the price if image quality matters. **Overall:** If you're buying this for the nostalgia and don't mind low-quality prints, you might still have fun with it. But if you're expecting decent-looking photos, I'd skip it. The concept is great—the execution just isn't.

This camera is great for on the go instant photography. There have been many complaints on the film quality, but one needs to know what this camera is for, it is for joy and fun on the run, not for high resolution art photography. I have several DSLR, SLR, and other high resolution/definition cameras. My favorite is still my Fujifilm X100, 35mm fixed lense. I have with more than a few decades of photography experience. I saw that there were many complaints on the reviews indicating that the color and quality of the images were not "picture perfect" or the best. However, individuals buying this Kodak Printomatic need to understand that you are buying this for the fun and joy of on the go photography. It is for instant gratification, and also fun. The quality of the image could be better. I've tested it out on several indoor and outdoor conditions on portraits and objects, but I still stand by that this camera has a very simple ease of use. The coloration is a little too warm for my tastes, and comes out more warm than white balanced. But the feature of low quality SD card saving of the image is truly useful for post production editing. Overall, because I bought my camera on sale for $31, which comes with 10 zink film, and then bought another three packs of 20 zink film for a total of $24 for 60 pieces of zink film. For a product of around $50 for 70 pieces of zink film, I would say this was a pretty good purchase. Will update in six months if there are any new developments. However, if there is no updates, consider it still a good novel camera that does the trick. If you need better quality, go for a fixed lense or newer DSLR.

When Kodak announced they will release a Zink instant camera, I could not be happier. As an owner of the Polaroid Zink Snap and Fuji Instax 9, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. Growing up we always had Kodak around the house, and we have many pictures that we printed with our Kodak’s. And I am very excited about the Printomatic First of all for the price of $69.99 it is a great value, and the design looks great, you can choose a yellow or grey color version. The Zink quality is great with the camera. Included in the box is: Printomatic, USB cable, QSG, Hand Strap. (Note no paper is included so make sure you get some of those as well) Even though Fuji Instax is similar price, Instax quality doesn’t compare to the Kodak Zink quality. Also with Kodak it is a digital camera so you can save the pictures you take, and most important cost per print is $0.50 for Zink and it is close to $1 for Fuji It was very simple to insert the paper into the camera back door, just make sure blue paper is facing downwards , which will print out in first print and it cleans the camera Very simple to use, choose color or black and white option, then just snap. And picture will print out very fast. All in all I highly recommend this as your instant option

The picture quality is not good at all. My son wanted this so badly and got it as a gift. I honestly think it is a novelty item and really not worth the price. It also was not user friendly and we struggled to get it to even take the picture which resulted in wasted film which is also pricey and the pictures are very small. Would not recommend.

Love the prints! They are soo cute. Bought this for my son, now therr are pictures of him and his girlfriend everywhere.

Perfecta para guardar bellos momentos

Fotoğraf makinesi güzel pratik, beklentileri yüksek tutmadığınız sürece ideal. Fakat hediye olarak gönderileceği söylenen 50 adet fotoğraf kağıdı paketin içerisinde çıkmadı. 500 tl fazla verip bu özelliği için almıştım. Hediye ettiğim içinde iade süreciyle uğraşmak istemedim.

La compre hace tiempo y la he llevado a cada viaje, las fotos que saca no son en la mejor calidad y hay que procurar tomar las fotos con buena luz y todo eso. Pero la verdad creo que vale la pena porque me gusta la validad tipo vintage que dan. El papel de las fotos tiene un pegamento y se pueden pegar en cualquier albúm, me encantó.

pictures not so colorful

Alles Super. Danke

Value for money product.
