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

I didn't get the SNAP to give my kids a history lesson in what we thought was cool when I was in high school, I got it because the battery in my iPhone aka our main "family camera" kept dying on me--and not due to talking or texting but because of pictures and posting as for some reason I've become our family's designated photographer at events and get togethers. So in comparing point and shoot, under $100, "iPhone replacement" cameras, I realized they're pretty much all the same except for the SNAP as its like the Polaroid's of our youth in terms of actually printing instant pictures, but designed to be cool (or is it relevant" to today's youth (thanks to the fact it's digital and aside from printing those instant pictures, can also share em--and do it all without me looking for somewhere to charge my iPhone.So here's the good; it's digital so it doesn't just print but also lets you share pictures. If you think this isn't a big deal as it's 2016 and everything is digital. Take a look at the Fuji Instax which is "old school" non-digital instant, meaning it prints everything you shoot whether you'd like to or not--and does so at twice the cost of a Snap print and doesn't give you any way of sending or sharing those prints with anyone.With the Snap you get the to choose the prints you want as well as how many you want and if you want even add half dozen or so effects to jazz things up. Plus the digital is a pretty respectable 10mp so your images are worth sharing and printing.Here's the bad; Prepare to be very popular--as long as you don't mind giving everyone free prints. Once people see you can instantly print pictures on real picture paper--not inkjet or laser on typical copier-paper, they'll be wanting prints...and more prints. And even though the Snap makes it easy and costs less per print, that doesn't mean you want to subsidize everyone with complimentary pictures.Am I happy with the Snap? Very much so. Great pictures, plenty of options and no worries about draining my iPhone battery--just my wallet until I learn how to say no to everyone who expects free instant prints

I'm very happy with this polaroid! I'm a really big fan of photography and cameras and I had been wanting an instant camera for a while. I finally bough this for my birthday to myself. First of all, I had some worries about the quality, I read so many reviews that were not convinced about this camera and I didn't know if I wanted to risk it, so here is what convinced me to buy it.Pros:-No batteries (that I saw were needed in other cameras), this might be something not so bothersome but its 2016 and a camera shouldnt need AA batteries.-Memory Card, you can store your pics, have them on your computer, share them, whatever. I recently used this to take a picture with a foreign friend and was able to give her the picture, knowing that I would have a copy of it. Really cool.-Doesn't look like a toy, I know this might not be an issue for everyone but I am seriously not into any of the designs of the Fuji ones, and believe me, before I made my choice between cameras I saw all of them in person in Urban Outfitters and Best Buy,-Paper can be a little cheaper, its not that big of a difference, but its a plus-Filters, this comes in b&w, regular colors and vintage colors, its cool they come out even more cool (hipster for some people I guess). Also the advantage of being able to have it with or withour border or having the photobooth option.What I was worried about:-Filters, I read some reviews about it coming out wrong, light, etc, I do have to say that color and b&w are perfectly fine, the vintage one is the only one I've had issues with, can't seem to make it work in a way that looks amazing like the other two.- I read about the framing of the picture, how what you see through the eyehole was not what came out in the picture, and its true, but It's not as bad as I read. In reality what gets printed is a cropped version from what you see through the eyehole, so if you're trying to make a lot of people fit into a picture you should try to leave extra space on the sides.-Quality, but as I said before, they come out fine, at least i think so, I had fuji pictures (taken with friends' cameras) and my pictures and they really do seem great to me.Cons:-You need to look up the user guide on the internet, its on the polaroid web page, but everything is there-The lens cover, don't forget to take it off!!- The eyehole/on button is very sensitive and can open at any moment, I bought a case so it wouldn't be a problem anymore.All in all I really thing its a great choice, great price, but I get why people would prefer other cameras. I hope this review was helpful, and sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language.(Pics uploaded were taken by me, one in the vintage filter, the other one in regular colors)

I grew up loving my Polaroid instant prints. This modern version not only gives you the instant gratification of a print (that we all know and love), but it also peels off and actually doubles as a STICKER! How cool is that! Teenage-me would have loved having one of these instead of taping stuff to the wall.To be fair, the picture quality isn't stellar... in fact, your cell phone might already take better pictures. But the instant gratification of a print is what you are buying here, and that is super cool. That and the fact that the camera itself is also super cool and retro- even the magnetic lens cap, as easy as it is to forget it is on, is very satisfying to "click" back into place. And unlike the Fujifilm instant print cameras, this will also save your pics to a microSD card for later reprints and/or safekeeping in this digital world.If instant gratification is your thing or you just have a nostalgia for old Polaroid concepts, this camera is for you!NOTE: Does not come with film/paper. You'll need that, and/or a Micro SD card. The camera can work with either or both, but not with none.
