Review on Zink Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera (Red) With ZINK Zero Ink Printing Technology by Nick Nigerson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very glad I bought this!

I am very happy with this Polaroid! I'm a really big fan of photography and cameras and have wanted an instant camera for a long time. Bought it for my birthday. First of all I had some concerns about the quality, I read so many reviews that weren't convinced of this camera and I didn't know if I was willing to take the risk, so that's what convinced me to buy it. Pros: - No batteries (which I've seen on other cameras), it might not be that boring, but it's 2016 and the camera doesn't require AA batteries. Memory card, you can store your photos, have them on your computer, share them, whatever. I recently used this to take a photo with an overseas friend and was able to give her the shot knowing I would have a copy. Really cool. - Doesn't look like a toy, I know this might not be an issue for everyone, but I don't take seriously Fuji's designs and trust myself before making my choice between cameras, all of which I've personally seen at Urban Outfitters and Best Buy, - paper can be a bit cheaper, it doesn't make much of a difference, but that's a plus - filter, it comes in black and white, regular color and vintage color, it's cool, there's more cool (Hipster for some people I guess). Another benefit is the ability to have it with or without our frame, or with a photo booth option. What I was worried about: - Filters, I read some reviews about them coming out wrong, light etc. I have to say that the color and B/W are perfect, only with vintage I had problems it seems , I can't get it to work that looks as great as the other two. I've read about framing a picture like what you see through the peephole isn't what came out of the picture and that's true, but it's not as bad as I've read. What actually prints is a cropped version of what you see through the peephole. So if you're trying to fit a lot of people into a picture, try leaving a little extra room on the sides. - Quality, but as I said, they come out well, at least I think so, I had photos of Fuji (taken with friends' cameras) and my photos and they seem really great to me. Cons: - You have to look up the user manual on the internet, on the Polaroid website, but everything is there - Lens cap, don't forget to remove it, it's no longer a problem. Overall I really think it's a great choice, great price but I understand why people prefer other cameras. I hope this review was helpful and I apologize for any mistakes, English is not my first language. (Uploaded photos were taken by me, one in vintage filter, the other in normal colors)

Waste of money: poor quality and horrible alignment
