Smile Classic Digital Instant Camera with Bluetooth (Blue) 16MP Pictures, 35 Prints per Charge – Includes Starter Pack 3.5 x 4.25" ZINK Photo Paper, Sticker Frames Edition

This is a fantastic instant camera! The prints are slightly larger than other instant camera on the market. The print quality is good, you can take photos with the camera or you can print them from your phone, the camera feels well made and has a retro look to it. The best thing about this camera though, is the AR feature! On the app, you choose a picture to print from your phone and you can upload a video with it, whoever has the app can scan the photo and it will show the video. This for me makes the camera so worth the money.

As many others have stated already this camera is full of faults. I genuinely do not understand how a new camera can be faulty straight out of the box. It took forever to charge, if it isn't full charged (which took me about five hours) it will only print half the photo. When it was fully charged it printed the photo but stopped just short of the end and turned itself off, and then I was not able to turn it back on. I reset it and turned it back on and it got incredibly hot (worringly hot). So it takes forever to charge, does not print all the photo even when fully charged, gets too hot and keeps turning itself off. Needless to say a waste of money

It's a very simple to use point and shoot (and print) camera. I like the retro design of this instant print camera and yet it has very modern features. Throught the app you can receive the shots and print them after applying filters or adjusting the crop, rotation, brightness, contrast, saturation. You can add text, doodles, stickers, and borders to your image. Also the print color rendition and resolution are great. There's a standard USB-A charging port and if you do not want to print just insert the micro sd card and the images will be stored for future uses. Four adhesive prints are included as "starter pack".

As some one who remembers the original Polaroid, and is also a pro photographer since 1978, was curious what this was going to be like. Simple enough to turn on and put paper in. Taking the pictures takes a while to get to grips with and it takes a while to focus and take the image (so difficult to 'snap' images), indoors anyway so it could have a better user experience so one knows when the image is 1, taken and 2, what is happening with the printing. After a while you get used to it but could be better.

The advertised app that comes with this and is a significant reason for choosing the camera, is appallingly, appallingly, appallingly bad, in that it crashes almost always (99%) and when it doesn't crash, it fails to connect to the camera, rendering the app useless and the camera as a printer, totally pointless. Other than one single acknowledgement from Kodak support, nothing has come back from them to offer any help, despite several approaches. The troubleshooter advice simply gives the usual 'uninstall', 'forget device' 'restart' baloney that makes sod all difference to the app being utter crap. This camera is being returned and a refund demanded, with Kodak's reputation trashed in my mind. I'm off to Polaroid land.

I bought this for my daughters birthday in August and the sample paper worked great. After reloading with a new pack again bought from Amazon it doesn't work properly. I wrongly thought a dodgy pack of paper, I ordered another pack of 10 for a Christmas present. I took out the old and put in the new but still no joy, paper doesnt always grab, sometimes it does but only prints the first inch or two. I came on to request help from amazon but its been over a month since I bought, so I am expected to chase Kodak. Really wish I had bought it from a actual shop now, they sort it themselves. You live and learn. No response from Kodak at all, but fingers crossed Amazon are going to credit when I return. Amazon did allow me to return and credited my account, only response I got from Kodak was that they dont sell retail products and it must be a licensed product.

I would give it zero stars if I could. This was my 13 year old daughter's Christmas present last year. It worked fine for the first two pictures. I bought extra packs of the photo paper for her too. After the first two, the pictures would not print fully, just an inch or so. Absolutely devastated because amazon wouldn't take it back, Kodak didn't want to know, said it has their name on it but it's not made by them. So for nearly a year it has been sat in a box totally useless. LOADS of other customers have had the same fault with theirs. Please please, if I can stop another child being devastated because their Christmas present is useless, I will. Do your research. It's not even like it's a cheap present, it was her main gift. It's appalling. You trust a brand like kodak.

Se trata de una de las cámaras instantánes de la marca, concretamente la Kodak Smile Classic. Es una cámara con un diseño retro súper conseguido, pero que dispone de las ventajas técnicas de un diseño de hoy en día. En mi caso decidí escoger la versión en color rojo que combina con acabados en blanco. Es una cámara que no es pequeña (12.5cm x 15cm x 4.8cm), ya que te imprime las fotografías a un tamaño de 10.8cm x 8,8cm, por lo que lógicamente tiene ser un poco más grande que el propio papel que contiene. No obstante el tamaño de la cámara se compensa con un peso realmente ligero (400gramos) y un diseño compacto, fácil de agarrar y de manipular. Siguiendo con el diseño exterior, en esta camara vamos a poder encontrar muy pocos botones, concretamente 3, lo que nos da una idea de la sencillez en su uso. En primer lugar el botón de encendido, que es un botón deslizable que encontramos en el lateral. Si le das al botón, sale automáticamente expulsado hacia afuera el visor entero de la cámara (gracias a un muelle interior). Si vuelves a meter el visor hacia adentro, la cámara se apaga. En la parte superior podemos encontrar los otros dos botones, el botón de disparo grande y redondeado,y el botón de temporizador (10 segundos) justo al lado y mucho más pequeño. Y ya está, esto es todo! El visor es un visor óptico de 27mm de longitud focal y una apertura máxima de f2.2. no obstante, la cámara es capaz de captar más rango del apreciable a simple vista atraves del visor, así que cuando la domines verás que tienes que acercarte más de lo que ves en el visor para encuadrar bien la foto que desees. El flash es automático, y salta cuando la cámara lo cree necesario. Es lo que me gusta de esta camara, tiene este punto de "a ver como saldrá la foto" que es la gracia de las cámaras instantáneas. Por cierto, como no lleva rosca de trípode, pero sí tiene temporizador, significa que tendrás que poner la cámara encima de algo, o apoyada con unas piedras para que se aguante para hacer la foto! A lo retro otra vez! En cuanto a media, lleva una ranura para tarjeta micro sd donde guardará las fotografías de 16megapíxeles que hagas (no tiene memoria interna) y un conector usb para conectar y cargar la cámara. La cámara tiene bluetooth, así que puedes usarla de impresora de fotos desde pc, teléfono, tablet... La batería de 1100mA dura mucho, le hice unas 30 impresiones sin cargarla, algunas directas, otras através de bluetooth. En cuanto a la calidad de las fotos, a mi personalmente me encanta. Tienen un rollo filtro setentero de las cámaras instantáneas de antes. Que nadie espere que saque los colores como una foto normal fiel a la realidad porque no es este ni el producto ni el objeto de este tipo de cámara. Saca unos colores encantadores, con aire nostálgico muy bonito que hay que saber apreciar, al igual que hay que saber elegir el momento de hacer la foto. Os dejo un vídeo donde se muestra cómo se carga el papel en la cámara, y se puede apreciar a qué velocidad imprime.

Cet appareil était un cadeau. Aux dires de l'intéressée, l'appareil est très pratique, disponible facilement dans un sac de femme. De bonne qualité, de belles photos.

I would not recommend this product. The zink technology is really poor. Photos come out blurry and everything has a sepia tint to it!

Ottima idea regalo, visto l'avvicinarsi del Natale! Pacco arrivato nei tempi previsti. La fotocamera Kodak fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, semplice da usare e con risultati ottimali nelle fotografie. Unisce la tecnologia alla possibilità, come nel passato, di avere una foto ricordo in pochi istanti. Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto funzionale, vi consiglio di considerare un po' più larga la visione rispetto a ciò che vedete nell'obiettivo: è tipo zoommato e quindi rischiate di lasciare troppi spazi vuoti nella foto. Bisogna farci l'abitudine. Ottima la portabilità, facilmente trasportabile in uno zaino. Insomma, prodotto consigliato per gli appassionati del genere!
