Zink KODAK Smile Classic Digital Instant Camera for 3.5 x 4.25 Zink Photo Paper - Bluetooth, 16MP Pictures (Blue)

I bought this camera because I already owned a Fuji Instax Wide camera, which I love and use. The issue I was having is that people always wanted the pics. I need to be able to have multiple prints. Came across this camera right after the holidays. Full disclosure, the first camera that I received was not able to take pics. It would only print from the app on the phone. I exchanged it and the second one works perfectly! To be perfectly honest, you will most likely end up taking pics with your phone and printing them out using the app. The camera on the device takes pics and makes them look vintage. the phone pics come out a little crisper. The app has not been a problem for me. Before purchasing I read some reviews that mentioned the app being a problem but not for me. Only thing negative I can find is that I wish the pics would be a little more clear and crisp like the ones from my Instax! The vintage look is cool n all but just having the oic look like what was shot would be great. If that look is desired, the app itself has filters that can be applied to the image.

Bought this for my wife for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. I love the fact that it can link to your phone and aside from allowing you to take instant pictures and print them you have the option to print out old pictures already saved to your phone. Haven’t quite figured how to perfect the settings on taking and printing photos on it - which on occasion may have a glare or not print the best but other then that have no issues with this camera. Love using it and having the ability to immediately print out photos. Must have

We bought 2 of these cameras, and when they got here they did not work. Packaging was intact no damage to the outer box or the camera box itself. However when you go to turn it on nothing would happen, and according to the instructions there should have been some short music playing and the lights come on. So we thought "oh it needed to charge", we plugged it in and according to the instructions the light should blink and then go solid white when done charging. Well the lite went sold white, so we tried it again. And again nothing. We watched all the videos that was recommended by Amazon and Kodak, yet still neither camera would work. I would not recommend buying this camera, based off my experience. Now I see why it has such low stars.

I was going to toss this thing in the garbage because I was having trouble with this thing feeding, actually I initially had something going wrong with the contrast of the pictures. Figuring this thing out, not too bad. Not as instant as a polaroid with the picture taking but the photos are way better. Add into the fact that you can save the pictures you take is a huge benefit even after you run out of the zink paper. Add into the fact that you can print pictures you've taken from your phone or previous ones from this camera and now you're talking a whopping success. Bottom line up front (BLUF), I am keeping this contraption. It saves the pictures, prints are way better than a polaroid and it doesn't look as goofy as the fuji version of this thing.

I wonder if there is a way to calibrate this thing or what? The picture color is just awful. It actually looks like old sepia photos. I got this for my mom to take pics of her new grand baby and we are both so disappointed. Wanted something easy to use, which for the most part it is. My only complaint about ease of use is that the flash takes a while to actually work and if your subjects (in this case, a baby) moves during that then the pic is blurry. Hard to get a good pic of a human. Really wish the pics were better. Will be looking for another camera for her. This one is not it.

It's a neat little camera. The only problem is, it isn't a Kodak product. Skymall licensed the name and had it made so not sure about the overall quality or longevity but I do enjoy using it. The pictures are typical instant quality and on par with other zink cameras. I do have to say I use polaroid pop zink paper in mine. I just use the kodak blue calibration card instead of the polaroid one. I got the camera just to play with it. So maybe have both polaroid and kodak paper and use them according to how important the pictures are to you. The funny part...polaroid invented zink and then spun it off into its own company when polaroid started having financial issues...if you use the polaroid calibration card the pictures will come out black and white...

The Bluetooth connect to Apple phone is flawless. After the initial setup I can easily turn on the camera later and it connects to my phone. No hassle! The prints remind me of the days of instant print film which is exactly what I wanted. When I need a print of something I get it easily off my phone to the camera to print. Yes the camera will take a pic, but the app has all the editing functions so I can blow up and crop photos to read text and such when it’s printed. Thank you Kodak for engineering this classic!

Great little instant camera/Printer with one downside. When you use it as a camera, the pictures have a slightly pinkish tone to them. This was the case with two different packs of Zinc film. After a little more research, I determined this is just normal behavior. However, when you use it as a printer, the photo's look natural and the pinkish tones disappear. If you want more realistic images when used as a camera, get one of the Fujifilm Instax cameras. Otherwise, this is still a great choice and is fun to use.
