A Simple Fun Snap!
2 of 2 found this helpful (CAMERA DOES NOT COME WITH PAPER & HAS AUTO FLASH) Its a great camera to just shoot quick and close shots with friends and family. I'm really enjoying it so far. Each shot feels like it matters because it actually does. 1 sheet is worth 50 cents and they are small office card sizes photos. The Quality for the prints is pretty good for an instant camera, but don't go taking crazy landscape DSLR shots, because details from a far away shot can be lacking. also, color does look flushed out and whitish bright blue tints SOMETIMES, but its not bad enough to really complain. I say its worth it to have the ability to share pictures with its very fun and social aspects. The Camera also takes Micro SD so you can save them forever digitally if that's your choice, but its not required. It retails for $99 but I've seen new ones sell for as low as $75 and used ones sell as low as $59 both with free shipping here on eBay, so do your research and be patient. I got mine used with 100 sheets of premium paper for only $84! That's a $50 value in paper alone and it works great! The Paper on eBay seems to always be over priced when searched for alone, so if the the total number of sheets does not divide equally by 2 for the total price, then its to much. They have two types of paper available which are normal ZINK paper, and the Premium kind. Go for Premium always! The next version of this is coming out in Winter 2016 The Snap+ and it includes WiFi to print pictures from your phone, straight to the camera for printing, and a touchscreen instead of a viewfinder which allows for editing. Its also 14MP instead of 10MP with the original whom this review is for. Always do your research and have fun!
And on a side note, the viewfinder can sometimes be unreliable. I've had foreheads chopped off from horizontal shots, but vertical seems to work best for me, and if your taking pictures of your pets, make sure they are standing still because distortion will happen making for some unsatisfying, sometimes interesting results. Now try it for yourself and Snap Snap away! :D
