Kodak Smile Instant Camera

This is a great basic instant camera with an overview screen on the back. Sliding the textured front cover to the open position turns it on and off when closed. No date/time stamp, lightning is weak over 6ft. The battery is durable (shooting for 6-8 hours, minimal printing). It takes 9-12 seconds to charge depending on whether it's warm from last use or cold. In daylight and bright sunlight the photos are very good, but in cloudy/foggy/bad weather, even with auto flash, it's not very good. Above are photos taken in foggy, overcast weather. They look much better on camera - you can take out the micro SD card (256GB max) and plug it into your computer for a higher resolution. Now, if you accidentally close the cover while printing, the entire printed image will become a little darker and the resolution will decrease. Printing is quick (40-45 seconds), but the steps leading to the printing of each image can take a long time. You can take photos and decide which ones to print later or immediately. You can print with different filters and the colors will be automatically adjusted from time to time. It is recommended to carry the power adapter with a micro USB cable to charge it after shooting/printing 40 consecutive photos. Charging about 1-1.5 hours at 50% charge. Uses Zink printing paper. You can use other Zink photo paper, but you must keep the blue ID card that initially pops out of the camera's printer. RECOMMENDED: Buy if you want a basic instant camera.
