There was nothing about this camera that blew me away. I like that it’s half frame so you get more out of a roll but in terms of performance it’s pretty average. I like that it’s cheap enough that if it was to get lost or damaged I wouldn’t be too upset but it also doesn’t look like a cheap, flimsy toy. It’s also light enough that you can have it in your pocket or bag and it won’t weigh you down all day. I would recommend this to anyone who’s just looking for something to have fun with and isn’t too concerned about the results. I personally like to take it on hikes and days out for spontaneous shots as it’s not a heavy burden, but I certainly wouldn’t want to capture any once in a life time shots on it.

The experience of the KODAK is pretty great. The “two for one” nature of the portrait exposure style (allowing twice as many shots per roll) is really great for those looking to save on film, which suits the purpose well as this itself is a budget camera. The photos are often enjoyable and stylish, and it is a cheap and effective way to regain the joyful experience of film in your life, where you get to relive weeks if not months of experiences all over again when you get the roll developed.
My only complaints are these : if you forget to turn off the “flash on” setting once you’ve used it, the battery will drain. A feature where, once the photo is taken, the flash on automatically disengages might be preferable.
Additionally, it definitely suffers in low light and anything being taken in low light should be close subject that can be lit by the flash.
Lastly, on a sunny day these exposures look really great, and I would personally say this is the best use case for it. A camera to quickly record cherished memories in the day time.
Item arrived well packaged and on time. Great value for new film photographer if budget was an issue before. Item does feel very plastic and light weight. Photos turned out fine with outdoor light but indoor (even with flash) is abit hit and miss. As with all film cameras you will need to test it yourself with different conditions to really get a feel of this camera is for you. I personally have it as a secondary snapshot camera along with my digital, so that’s perfect for my needs.
This product was beautifully presented and was perfect for a gift. I gave this to a friend for her big travel move and she loves using it.
Bare in mind this is half frame so for newbies to the camera world research what this means.
Would definitely buy anothe
Not the best camera but for its price point, it is surprisingly good. It does well with good lighting but struggles on a low light setting. I am loving the grains but some might not love it. It is easy to use. A straightforward point and shoot camera. Battery operated flash. Flash can be turned on or off through the dial on the lens. I actually enjoyed using this camera. As it is a half frame camera, I had a hard time finishing a 36 exposure film. Quite good though as it helps save on film cost if you are a beginner or casual film photographer.
