Zink Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera (Red) with ZINK Zero Ink Printing Technology

First of all, this little camera is AMAZING!!!! It has good (enough) quality and much variety and choice in pictures. Before getting the Polaroid Snap, I did LOADS of research before I decided against my other option, a Fujifilm instax mini 70. It’s perfect for me! I had seen bad reviews and was very scared to get it, but finally went for it, and I’m glad I did. For your convenience, here’s the truth: Heads ups, FYIs, advice, and (a few) opinions too. PHOTOS AREN’T PERFECT>>> No photos are perfect. Make sure you know that when you buy the Snap. It’s mostly for fun and not very professional. However, you can always get some very good photos out of it. FIRMWARE UPDATE>>> Get an SD card with the Snap. It will come in handy, especially when you want a casual photo and don’t want to use up paper. Your SD card will allow you to get a firmware update as well. That will fix photobooth mode in most cameras. NO ACCIDENTAL SHOTS>>> The latest firmware won’t let you take a picture with the lens cap on which is REALLY convenient when it comes to saving paper and storage on an SD card. VARIETY>>> The Snap is a fun camera with loads of choices and variety to your pictures. It really makes taking pictures unique and enjoyable. SLEEK DESIGN>>> The Snap is really slim and sleek. It can fit in a shirt pocket and is really easy to hold. It also has a lanyard so you don’t drop it. STICKERS!!!>>> The back of zink paper can be peeled off to reveal a sticky back. Perfect for scrapbooking, your pictures are now stickers!! SELF-ADJUSTING FLASH>>> Unlike the instax mini 8 and 70, the Snap has self adjusting flash. It will turn itself off if you’re in a very BRIGHT area. DON’T WAIT TO OPEN IT>>> The first Polaroid Snap I got broke down (didn’t close when powered down) just like I had read in reviews. I was so sad that it happened to me, but I decided to give it another try. So, I shipped it back for another one. This one works PERFECTLY!! Just don’t wait more than 30 days to open it so Amazon can let you return it… I’ve seen many reviews in which people have said that they didn’t know about the return window. Make sure you check that it works!! Thanks for reading… Hope this helps!!!

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE OTHER REVIEWS SAY ABOUT PRODUCT AND QUALITY OF PRINTS, I LOVE THIS DAMN CAMERA. JUST RIGHT FOR THE PRICE. CONVENIENT AND FUN FOR ANY OCCASION. THERE ARE SOME ISSUES ABOUT THE ON/OFF BUTTON BEING VIEW FINDER WHICH MAKES IT VERY EASY TO TURN ON AND OFF. ALSO IN EVERY PACK OF PRINTS ONE CAME OUT BLANK. OVERALL, ITS WORTH IT. IF YOUR GONNA BUY IT MAKE SURE YOU GET WARRANTY JUST IN CASE. YOU NEVER KNOW. JUST BECAUSE IT SUCKED FOR SOMEONE ELSE DOESN'T MEAN ITS GOING TO FOR YOU. INITIALLY BOUGHT IT FOR MY SON BUT I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT, SO NOW WE SHARE. BELIEVE I'M A CRAZY SKEPTIC BUT I'M GLAD I FINALLY PURCHASED IT AFTER WAITING FOR THE LAST MINUTE AND THANK GOODNESS IT GOT HERE RIGHT BEFORE XMAS. HOPEFULLY, YOU TO WILL ENJOY. ONE MORE THING.... IF YOU HOLD ONTO SHUTTER FOR A FEW SECONDS YOU WILL GET TWO PICTURES IN ONE PRINT, I ALSO HEARD FOUR IN ONE. HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL.

It's a great camera! It wasn't super easy to make it work but once you get it going it lots of fun. Few recommendations: Read the first couple of pages of the manual to set it up (easier than trying by yourself); lighting It's important and every retake consumes paper, so be aware of that; for vertical pictures with border (It's amazing that this is an option) to have the bigger space on top place the lens on your right side.

I was so disappointed initially with this pkg deal that I had requested to return it. This camera does not come with instructions. A family member suggested I download instructions online and I did. On YouTube there are reviews demonstrating this camera which were very helpful as well. I can't believe Polaroid would be so careless as to not include any kind of instructions; but on one of the unboxing reviews-their box had a little insert with pictures on what things the camera does. Though they were not very helpful to me, I would have at least liked to have even had that to look at. No one from Amazon even tried to help when I initiated the return claim. I am lately beginning to be more and more disappointed with Amazon. I recently had a customer svc rep tell me that with Prime the two days do not count and are not guaranteed until the item ships. So it could be a month before they ship it-but all is legal as long as it is rec'd within two days of being shipped. I am considering not keeping Prime after this year. Anyway, after I got instructions on how the camera works I decided to keep it. It's a great deal for the money with the convenience of instant photos,a small pkg that fits in your hand and the extra incentive of a mini SD card option of up to 32 GB along with built in flash and usb charging and easily sharing via social networks. I really dislike giving less favorable reviews-but I believe the public should be forewarned and also Amazon should go back to it's policy of giving Excellent Customer Service that they used to have. It has really slipped off track.If they continue at this rate-they are going to begin greatly losing money and loyal customers!

The Polariod Snap is a great quirky camera for those who aren't really worried about pixel peeping and quality, but want something fun and simple. The camera feels nice in the hands, and the magnetic lens cap is just plain fun to mess with. The view finder feels kind of silly, but I think that's the point. Using the camera is super simple, so simple that I was confused by it. You've got a button to take pictures with, and one to change the color mode. I spent a few minutes trying to find an on button before I just pushed the shutter release button and it came to life. Loading the film is easy, though you have to remember to buy some to go with the camera (there is none included). The Micro SD card slot is kind of tricky, you'll need fingernails or something to push the card in enough to lock in place. To charge the camera, simply connect it to a computer via the included USB cable and... wait. Again, something that wasn't clear was how to know when it's charged. People smarter than I will read the instructions, but without doing so it's not really easy to figure out. Taking pictures is simple enough, point at what you want to take a photo of and push the button. The picture prints out the side, and is also saved on the SD card. The picture quality of the prints is decent, and definitely what I was expecting from this camera. The digital images are the only thing that I was not really impressed by. The image itself is not bad, but the images are not very sharp. When looking at them, it's not so much of a lens softness thing as it is a digital softness. To most this is not going to be noticed, but as a photographer it's something I saw immediately. I guess there was a part of me that expected a little more from such a camera, but seeing as how it's kind of all alone in this world with other Polariod products, it may just be a function of price and function. For about $20 more than a instant-print-only camera, the digital image portion is still worth it. In the end this camera does what it's supposed to do really well, and best of all it doesn't feel like a cheap toy. If you're into pixel peeping or worrying about absolute sharpness and detail, you may just want to stick with a instant-only camera and your new-ish smart phone

I LOVE this camera. I was regretting not getting the newer version at first, trying to be cheap before a vacation, but I do not regret buying the Snap now. The newer version does have a lot more features but this camera is good for basic polaroids with or without the frame and it has some special features like the four frames which i love to use. Some of my photos came out a bit dark due to the fact that you can't control the flash yourself. But other than that I have no complaints! Worth the buy!

This is more of a novelty camera. You are not going to be looking at these photos years from now. I was disappointed most with the quality of the photos. Toggling between the different color modes and testing with different lighting didn't help (the built in flash tends to White Out your subjects). I have also experience at least three dozen times when the camera flat out didn't print the photo. Most of the time it seemed like a paper jam of sorts. Other times it froze and i had to wait for the battery to die to get it to restart. The main perk is that you get a photo instantly. That was the one positive element that has kept it around in my home. It will probably end up as a kid's toy at some point.

My mom just love's it

Todo bien

My daughter ❤ it. Bought her as a gift. I wish quality of picture was a little better.

🔸️Llevo años vendiendo cámaras y te voy a dejar mi valoración, que es la misma que le doy a los clientes cuando vienen a preguntarme. Os dejo unas fotos de comparativa de fotos hechas con varias cámaras instantáneas, para que veáis la diferencia en los colores y el papel. 1- La foto mas pequeña es la de esta cámara. Como veis el papel es mas pequeño que otros formatos. Es un papel brillante pero que tiene poco brillo en las imágenes. Las fotos salen con poco color, apagadas incluso en exterior y a plena luz del día. 2- La segunda es una hecha con la instax mini, que es la que todo el mundo compra porque es mas barata que esta. La diferencia está en el papel, que es de los antiguos de verdad, esos que tienes que mover un poco hasta que va apareciendo la imagen. Con este papel, las imágenes quedan mas claras porque tienen mas color, pero están muy contrastadas. Eso significa que en interiores se ven muy oscuras y quemadas. 3- La tercera es una imagen de una polaroid de verdad de las antiguas. Como podéis ver el papel es mucho mas grande, además de ser mas grueso y de mas calidad. Las imágenes tienen mas colores y se definen perfectamente, y a diferencia de la instax mini, esta no quema la imagen en los interiores, y no se ven tan oscuras. Es una cámara instantánea de formato analógico, que no es lo que mucha gente imagina. La cámara es monísima, pero hace fotos cómo se hacían hace 70 años. Con la diferencia de que con una cámara mucho más pequeña que entonces, y un papel diferente al de entonces. Es Muy bonita. El color es rojo flúor. 🟢 Es plana y se puede meter en el bolsillo, si este es grande. Es una cámara que usa un sistema analógico, así que hay que saber unas cosas importantes antes de comprarla. No es que la cámara funcione mal, es que hace 70 años se hacían así las fotos. 🔴 Un problema es el visor que está descuadrado al ser analógica, y nunca salen centradas. No es un problema de la cámara en sí, es que las cámaras analógicas son así. Hay que tener en cuenta el desfase del visor sino salen cortadas las fotos. Una vez le coges el truco, pues ya está. 🔴 La calidad del papel no es que sea genial, pero claro es analógico. Es un papel diferente a las otras analógicas, no es este antiguo que se usaba antes en las instantáneas, el típico papel de polaroid, sino que es uno plano blanco que lleva la tinta impresa( que no se ve) y es de pegatina. Esto hace que los colores sean menos vivos. En interior tiene poca luminosidad. Así que no esperes una calidad como las fotos normales, porque es un sistema antiguo, y por tanto tiene poca calidad. El tamaño del papel también es pequeñito, unos 5x7cm, lo bueno es que es de pegatina y se puede pegar. Para los niños está genial. Con este tipo de papel lo mejor es hacer fotos a plena luz y en exterior. En interiores salen muy oscuras y grises. ✅ Tiene batería que es de agradecer. ✅ Tiene opción de tarjeta de memoria, para poder guardar las fotos que hagas de forma digital.

Fun to use and works well. The flip up viewfinder/power switch is a bit too sensitive for my liking but that's my only complaint..

Si compras por nostalgia está bien, pero por el tamaño de la foto, la calidad de las impresiones no es la mejor, la batería se descarga rápidamente, y al estar desacostumbrada a usar el visor de la cámara, cuesta trabajo enfocar.
