Review on Fun, Educational Instant Camera Digital Toddler Camcorder: Capture Cherished Moments! by Marco Gavi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent overall - worth $60

This is a good product. Quick shots with filters, selfie mode, memory card, cute design, extra paper and strap. My daughter LOVES this. I won't post pictures because it seems redundant, but I will cover a few things that people have mentioned. Thickness. Yes, it's quite a thick camera. My average sized 4 year old daughter can barely hold it in her hands and take pictures. Although she succeeds. several hundred times an hour. Darkness. For those who complain about dark images, the reason is that you take too many photos. You just bought a $60 HEAT camera. There is no space age technology here. The camera uses heat to apply this image to paper that reacts to heat. The more you take pictures, the darker they get, because this camera doesn't have a built-in heat sink or fan, so it needs time between shots. After taking about 10 consecutive photos, the camera will not be able to take photos due to excessive heat. Complexity - Menu options and features are complex. Not for my daughter, mind you, but for me. I've had to go to management for almost every issue we've had and every time I've been told, "yes I know dad.” very cheap replacement. My paper loading problem is as follows. This scooter has no wheel lock and deleting pictures can be difficult for a child. There is a certain angle at which it must be pulled in order to separate it from the reel using a metal protrusion in the chamber. If your child tries to take photos of themselves without the right angle, the entire roll of paper may fall out. This was my only issue with the product. Overall I give this product a rating of 4.8. You lost 0.2 points for making me rob EVERY SINGLE picture my kid takes. However, for $60, it quickly became her favorite toy and stopped her from running around the house taking photos with her iPad. I would definitely buy this again.
