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. :)

Good

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

This is fun for a kid with the instant printing on sticker paper. However, it is a little disappointing for 3 main reasons: 1. The photo paper costs at least 40 cents a picture, which I would gladly pay if the camera wasnt set up to print accidental photos constantly. If you barely touch or accidentally graze the trigger with a strand of hair, it takes a photo. This means a lot of junk accidental photos are taken and 40 cent 2x3 paper wasted. 2. The quality of the photos is TERRIBLE. I'd rather have 3 mp with color that isn't completely washed out. We are very fair skinned people and all turn out like Casper on the camera. The photos look like photos you find from the 70s that weren't properly stored. Actually they look worse, because everything looks like you edited the pictures to turn the exposure up all the way. I bought this based on good reviews online, but with the horrible quality of the pictures I'm shocked anyone would give this camera more than 3 stars. 3. The pictures do save to an sd card If you install one, which is the main reason i bought this over other brands. However, iits kind of a bummer that you cant see your pictures before you choose to print them. Every photo has to waste a 40 cent zink paper. So having the sd card is really kind of pointless since you can't retrieve photos on the camera and print them later from the camera. You have to pull the sd card and put it in a computer or something to print at another time (which, with the awful quality of the photos, I cannot imagine ever wanting to do anyway). I think my 9 year old will enjoy this anyway, but even her first comment was "how come the color is so bad?" Its shockingly bad even to a 9 year old.

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

This is an inexpensive printer that uses ZINK paper - which means, no ink, no mess, no worries. The zink images are relatively small, but when the paper is peeled of of the back they become stickers. Shop for a good price on the zink paper and it is rather cost effective. With your smart phones for capturing those crystal clear huge megapixel pictures, this camera is a refreshing change, producing good quality images that you or your children can hold in their hands. Decide which type camera you want and if it is a simple, fun camera, that prints nice little photos, which can double as stickers, this may be just for you!

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.
