KODAK Mini Shot 3 Retro 4PASS 2-in-1 Instant Digital Camera and Photo Printer (3x3 inches) + 60 Sheets Cartridge Bundle, White

First of all, I have several KODAK products, from the Mini Shot 4 ERA to the KODAK Dock Printer. This camera is exceptional, serving as both a camera and a high quality photo printer. The 4-Pass system produces stunning photographs, laminated, and ready to last a century. The "film" is the least expensive I have found comparing all competitors. It is $.30 per photograph, while others are from $.50 to well over a dollar per print. The only downside is that the photographs your take must either be printed instantly or discarded forever. There is no SD card or image storage. If you really want the digital image too, shoot it with your smart phone and Bluetooth to the camera's printer for striking images, plus the digital image on your phone. Obviously I do like the KODAK products, having been a professional photographer. This camera (the Retro) is generally cheaper than the ERA, yet has has identical specs, lens and all, only the body design is slightly different. Go RETRO to save. Film, etc. is identical with both models. Final word, if you want the joy of holding real high-quality photographs in your hands again, or even showing your children what an actual photograph is, this is an ideal purchase.

I have printed a couple photos and I love it. I do not know how well it works compared to others this is the first camera I have bought. I love that I can print photos from my phone as I just lost my dog a few days before getting this. Only problem is that the battery seems to fade fast and it never gets to 100% for me it is always 80%. but over all I love it.

Usually, I don’t review. I got this for a gift, and the camera is pretty good, it’s interesting to see the printing process. The print isn’t the best quality, a little hazy, but overall, I do recommend for beginners!

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.

I really wanted to like this camera, but the experience has been nothing short of frustrating. The first unit I received was broken, so I requested a replacement and returned the original. Unfortunately, the second unit had a host of issues. It repeatedly gave me a “paper jam” error, wasting an entire cartridge I couldn’t recover. Then it claimed it was “out of paper” even though it was fully loaded. After a reset and more wasted supplies, it finally accepted a new cartridge.On top of the technical problems, the picture quality was very underwhelming—though I expected that given the nature of instant-style cameras. Overall, between the defective hardware, wasted materials, and poor output, this product just wasn’t worth the hassle. Disappointed.

This kodak retro 3 instant camera with built in printer is great I'd been wanting one for along time and a lady friend helped me to get it and it's the greatest money I ever spent. The pictures are 3×3 and when they instantly print the picture is awesome and very clear it's not blury or anything. It has a built in flash you can turn on or off and it also has built I'm printer that u can blue tooth to your phone and take photos from your phone e and printer them instantly as well. Very fun and nice to have I'm very happy with my camera and the function buttons are easy to read and very easy to use!!
