Title: Fantastic Camera Printer Combo
Review: Overall, I’m very satisfied with this product. If you want a state of the art HD professional printer/camera, keep moving along, this is not for you. It prints high quality pictures from your phone, but not top of the line quality. It’s a fun retro camera/printer that will capture great family and friend pics for albums or display in your home. Super convenient and stylish, I print great quality pics from my phone all the time, and the camera function is there in a pinch if I need it.Likes: prints great photos from your phone via bluetooth, nice case and cool design, photo print quality is very good, several fun options for filters and borders, photos can be edited to get the print to look like you want it to (saturation, sharpness, contrast, etc.), prints come out finished in less than a minute (but not instantly, the picture goes in and out 4 times)Things To Know: this is best used as a printer in my opinion, picture quality will obviously not be as good as your phone when using the camera feature, the little preview screen on the back does not have high enough resolution for you to really be able to tell the quality of the picture you just took (minor blurriness or poor focus will not be obvious), if you’re printing more than 10 or 15 photos then you’ll need to probably keep it charging

Title: The negative reviews seem unjust.
Review: I rarely write reviews, but upon purchasing and using this product and seeing the onslaught of negative reviews, I had to sit down and type one out.First, I do not understand the negative reviews. Maybe some critical thinking skills aren’t being applied when others have bought this product. You see lots of “My iPhone/Android camera takes better quality pictures!” in the complaints. Let’s dissect this. Most smartphones nowadays retail for nearly $1,000 in total, and a key element in their advertising is not only the quality of the built in cameras but the constant improves from model to model. Of course, a smart phone camera is going to produce better quality pictures. It’s one of the reasons we spend our hard earned money on them. If all we needed was a device to call and text, we’d still be using flip phones. Let’s put our thinking caps on and remember why the little computers in our pockets can take excellent if not astounding quality pictures – because they’re built to!Now, this Kodak camera does state it prints “superior photo” quality, but it does not boast “state of the art” quality or even “smart phone” quality, because it knows its place and that would be a flat out lie. Read the fine print, people! Superior does not automatically equate to breathtaking, especially when you look at the product itself. Once again, this is a basic camera/tool. It is not built to be an equal to a smartphone which is essentially, as I said, a mini-computer; It is not built to be an equal to even the lowest tier of professional photography cameras. It IS however, built to be a simple, basic photo taking device that you can also connect to your phone, iPad or other supported device if you choose to.It does what it says on the box, so I am happy with this purchase. I suspect other customers were expecting something far more complex and souped up, and that is not what this camera is.Now, the only cons I have for it is that printing process is a little slow, but it takes less than a minute. The paper quality is good though, so I’ll let this slide. You can’t have everything, especially if you’re buying something that is quite budget when it comes to bells and whistles. And that’s another thing I’d like to mention – this prints on modern day photo paper. Do not expect the thick, flimsy paper that actual polaroid cameras printed on. If that’s what you’re after, then you’ll be better off heading over to eBay or a pawn shop.This is a modern take on an old school favorite. Understand what you’re buying, and you will be a satisfied customer.

Title: The good, the bad, the ugly
Review: The good…. Great picture quality via the phone/app. Good, not great, picture quality via the built in camera. Easy to use. Fun, interesting technology in a nice package. Low cost pics.The bad…. No on device storage. So… Can not take and save multiple pictures to be printed later After printing, the digital image is gone when you take the next pic. This is a take a pic, print the pic, and wait 2 minutes before next pic can be taken. This is a major design flaw. On device storage is a no brainer to maximize the utility value of the device. Of course if it is just used with the app as a printer from pics in the gallery of your phone, then as a printer it is okay, if a bit slow. BUT…. This device is a camera / printer and no storage devalues the camera functionality enormously.The ugly…. While printing pic 7 in a cartridge, on pass #2 in the printing procees, the paper jammed. A note appeared on the app. “ Paper jammed. Remove print cartridge. If it cannot be removed, contact customer service”. I got the cartridge out. But the print and remaing pappers were destroyed so papers were wasted. I hope that is not a chronic problem because it can wastes a lot of papers.So in summary… I like the device on balance, but it seems like it is a work in process with room for improvements and reliability.

Title: Expect potato quality pictures
Review: The screen is tiny and the resolution is something to be desired but to be what it is, I’m very happy with it. Especially since you can Bluetooth it to your phone and print photos like a portable printer.

Review: Dwukrotnie zamówiłem ten aparat i obydwa egzemplarze były uszkodzone. Pierwszy z nich w ogóle się nie uruchamiał i został wymieniony na nowy, natomiast drugi egzemplarz miał problem z drukowaniem zdjęć – warstwy kolorów nie nakładały się idealnie na siebie, były przesunięte. Aplikacja na telefon w wersji android pozostawia wiele do życzenia.

Review: Llevo utilizando la cámara durante un tiempo, procedo a relatar los pros y contras de esta:Pros:Es una cámara bastante pequeña comparada con la competencia.Imprime fotos con o sin marco y este se puede cambiar de color sin tener que comprar cartuchos especiales.Las fotos son de un tamaño como los de la Polaroid aproximadamente.La foto te sale a 34 céntimos lo cual es una ganga.Permite la impresión de fotos desde tu móvil ya que tiene una app que la puedes conectar a la cámara (esto es muy distintivo al resto).Tiene una batería incorporada capaz de sacar unas 20 fotos. Lo cual está bastante bien sabiendo que los carretes son de 7.Contras:Tiene una pantalla LCD que es una basura pero he de decir a su favor que mantiene la esencia de que no vas a saber muy bien el resultado de la imagen hasta que salga.La batería dura menos si imprimes las fotos desde el móvil sacando unas 10 fotos.Tiene un puerto de carga micro USB.No cuenta con visor por lo que tienes que fiarte de la pantallita.Elegí esta cámara y no a la competencia debido a lo barato que salen los cartuchos, el tamaño de la fotografía y ese formato 2 en 1 pudiendo imprimir fotos del móvil que se quedan olvidadas en el formato digital.Por otro lado decir que no me arrepiento de la compra que hice pero dudaba en comprar la Kodak smile (la compacta) ya que no utiliza cartuchos Kodak. Más que nada por si se va al tacho y luego no hay cartuchos. La otra utiliza papel fotográfico normal solo te tienes q fijar que sea del mismo tamaño y ya.Espero que sea de gran ayuda este comentario y os anime a comprarla.Dentro de un año más o menos hago una actualización.
