I bought this camera to use on the red carpet for an awards banquet. It was great fun and added to the delight of the normally moody and bored guests. Overall battery life is good and the flash recharges fairly quickly. The photo quality is good - at least as good as the old SX70 Polaroids. The prints are a handy size and everyone loved them. I would definitely recommend this. I am a professional photographer and I agree with this review!
