This camera worked as describe. I couldn't wait to use it as soon as it arrived. it has a very sleek and modern look. My photos came out absolutely gorgeous and stunning. On the camera there are different modes with different icons. If shooting indoors I pick the one with the little house and if its a cloudy day outside there is a setting icon for that too. This camera is very reliable so far. I find it very efficient that after I take a picture the photo cames sliding out of the top of the camera. It takes about 60 seconds for the colors to developed. It works best used outdoors. When indoor it can be a little tricky depending on the range you are shooting from. There were a couple of pictures I took in Vegas indoor trying to capture a water fountain in the background with my gf but since I shot it so far away; the background of the picture came out dark. Although you can still tell it is us in the photo.
When we took a photo of ourselves outside during daylight, it captured as much details as it needed too. Overall I am a very satisfied customer. I know our smart phones can capture photos too but I like the idea that as soon as a photo is snapped, it is instantly developed. I can not even remember the last time I went out of my way going through my photos on my phone to pick out ones I want to go developed and print.
The cons of this camera that I would have to say is the the film can be a bit expensive. But you can not really put a price on the memories you cherish, especially if I have a phone full of photos and one day I lose that phone. I can never retrieve those photos again. Which has happened to me before.
The camera comes with a strap, and 2 double A batteries. You won't regret buying this camera.

My initial reaction was that I had bought a knock off and I was concerned (it has the cheap plastic, old-school disposable camera feel to it)... especially since I didn't know what I was doing and the first few photos turned out near white. However, once I read up on the camera I learned about its most important feature - the light exposure dial. By adjusting the dial around the lens you're able to control how much light is exposed to your film. The coolest thing is, the camera knows which setting is best and will illuminate a small red light above the correct setting. It also has a counter to keep track of how many pictures remain.
Over all, I'm truly impressed and my initial reaction was completely wrong. This camera is awesome and well worth what I paid. It's so easy to use, the kids have been playing with it and taking perfect pictures every time.
My photos of the instax film are examples of how the light exposure dial may affect your final product. The left most photo was the recommended setting where as the other photos were what happened when I used settings other than the one recommended. Also, I collected these photos after using my camera. It did not come with scratches.

Great camera. Super practical, easy to use, and awesome way to capture memories.
Could be for kids, but I'd say it's best for preteens, teens, and adults simply because the film is a little more on the expensive side and kids tend to get carried away taking photos of everything in sight.
Each photo has a vintage look to it, and I really like that it gives you a setting recommendation depending on your lighting situation. Variety of colors is fun, but I decided on black for a sleek and simple look. I do recommend buying a case/bag for the camera since it can fall and suffer damages if you decide to take it out with you on trips or any other situation. It would help in keeping it safe, and would allow for an even easier use as well. I've had mine for over a year, and it's suffered a couple damages because of some drops, but it's still working great and I continue to use it.

I've had this for almost a month now and it works great. Shipping was really quick, it took less than a week to arrive. The photos have a really cool retro look to them. I've wasted 3-4 prints out of a 20 pack because of lighting issues; I recommend taking the time to insure it's not too bright/dark before snapping pictures and it will save you film. The camera works great, It only has 2 buttons so it's super easy to operate and get use. Never had any issues 5/5CommunisthoboGreat little camera for a good price
