This camera is the star of our journey

We bought this instant camera for a trip to Nicaragua to see two children we sponsor through Compassion International. This camera was amazing. We were able to photograph our children and give them an immediate memory. I've seen complaints about the quality of the images these cameras print. To be honest, I don't know what they're talking about. The quality of these recordings is better than that of the original Polaroid cameras. Photos provided 2in. x 3 inches are small but printed almost instantly! We found the camera performed well in bright to medium light conditions. If you are indoors, you need to be close to the subject, no more than 5 feet, for the flash to properly illuminate the subject. This requirement is no different from the requirements for film cameras of the last century. This camera doesn't have the sophisticated light-processing capability of a modern cellphone camera, but when was the last time you typed straight from your phone into the hand of a beaming kid in downtown Nicaragua? NEVER! If you have realistic expectations of what this camera can do, 2" x 3" instant shooting with a fixed mm lens, then you won't be disappointed. If you want finished 5" x 7" studio quality photos, buy a $1,500 DSLR and a $1,200 studio quality photo printer. This camera took and printed about 20 photos and still had two-thirds of its charge left. It's well made and well designed. This camera will accompany me on all future trips and events where instant photos are needed. Thanks to ZINK for developing this technology, thanks to KODAK for developing such a great little photo printer.
