Review on Kodak PRINTOMATIC Digital Instant Sticky Backed by Trey Gilbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well, if you know what to expect

If you have realistic expectations for this reasonably priced product then you will be happy. $70 (+$0.50 for a sheet of photo paper) is reasonable in my opinion for a camera/printer all in one considering you never have to buy toner and there is an option for a mini SD/digital storage option . I think the photos/videos taken by the manufacturer are realistic, they don't pretend to be great photo quality - the best thing about this camera is the fun factor. Photo quality seems sub-par compared to the great cameras we're all used to from our smartphones, but in good light (particularly outdoors) color/image is good. Don't expect super sharp details or super bright colors. Great party fun, instant gratification photo booth option (photos dry instantly, waterproof as hell and stick for collages). Minus 1 star because the shutter button is so easy to press, at $0.50 per press it's annoying (each shot is printed, no choice), there really should be a lock or require a harder press. A certain area in the viewfinder is a bit hard to see. The camera beeps when it is on and ready to take a picture and when the shutter button is pressed. Kodak provides an online manual, the manual is not included and is worth a quick read for details like "Do not add more paper until it runs out", "The camera can take up to 3 pictures" (eg 3 photos if you ran out of paper and didn't insert the microSD).

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
