Kodak Mini Shot 3 Retro 4PASS 2-in-1 Instant Digital Camera and Photo Printer (3x3 inches)

The Mini Shot 3 is a fun camera, photo, and printing system. The app is simple and intuitive. I admit the picture is a small, but it's called the Mini Shot 3 and the description clearly stated 3X3. It functions as it need to. Colors are good. It's portable, you can definitely take it with you. Lighting can be better, meaning the flash, but taking day time photos works well.

I rarely write reviews, but upon purchasing and using this product and seeing the onslaught of negative reviews, I had to sit down and type one out. First, I do not understand the negative reviews. Maybe some critical thinking skills aren't being applied when others have bought this product. You see lots of "My iPhone/Android camera takes better quality pictures!" in the complaints. Let's dissect this. Most smartphones nowadays retail for nearly $1,000 in total, and a key element in their advertising is not only the quality of the built in cameras but the constant improves from model to model. Of course, a smart phone camera is going to produce better quality pictures. It's one of the reasons we spend our hard earned money on them. If all we needed was a device to call and text, we'd still be using flip phones. Let's put our thinking caps on and remember why the little computers in our pockets can take excellent if not astounding quality pictures - because they're built to! Now, this Kodak camera does state it prints "superior photo" quality, but it does not boast "state of the art" quality or even "smart phone" quality, because it knows its place and that would be a flat out lie. Read the fine print, people! Superior does not automatically equate to breathtaking, especially when you look at the product itself. Once again, this is a basic camera/tool. It is not built to be an equal to a smartphone which is essentially, as I said, a mini-computer; It is not built to be an equal to even the lowest tier of professional photography cameras. It IS however, built to be a simple, basic photo taking device that you can also connect to your phone, iPad or other supported device if you choose to. It does what it says on the box, so I am happy with this purchase. I suspect other customers were expecting something far more complex and souped up, and that is not what this camera is. Now, the only cons I have for it is that printing process is a little slow, but it takes less than a minute. The paper quality is good though, so I'll let this slide. You can't have everything, especially if you're buying something that is quite budget when it comes to bells and whistles. And that's another thing I'd like to mention - this prints on modern day photo paper. Do not expect the thick, flimsy paper that actual polaroid cameras printed on. If that's what you're after, then you'll be better off heading over to eBay or a pawn shop. This is a modern take on an old school favorite. Understand what you're buying, and you will be a satisfied customer.

It worked for awhile. And the prints were ok. But no longer does. I had it stored for a year. But in a nice case to keep it protected. Also bought a bunch of cartridges at the same time as when i bought the printer. Fired it back up and it misprinted an image. I thought maybe the printer was dry or something. Checked to see any jams, but I don't see any... (but its also hard to really see into. But it looked clear. Replaced with a brand new cartridge still in plastic. Printer won't pick up the paper. I thought, maybe its the new cartridge that was faulty. Replaced it with another new, just out of the plastic cartridge and that also will not work. And there doesn't seem to be a trouble shooting option for that error.

Bought this for my sister's wedding to use as a fun way to add photos the the Guest book. Overall, it is simple and easy to use. The battery holds a good charge that lasted roughly 10 hours. The flash setting seemed to drown out the faces in the picture, so it's best to use in a well lit room, or during the day. I would advise against trying to snap photos in a dark setting using flash. The camera prints the images you take with a simple push of a button, but it certainly is NOT instant. More around 45-60 seconds before the photo is done printing and you're able to remove it. Quality is so-so. Again, it works well in the light and images come out better when you print them. However, you can also connect the camera to your phone using Bluetooth, and select photos to print that way. Those came out a lot better, but that's also due to most phones having a high-quality camera these days.

Compact, cute, and surprisingly good quality. People lined up for pictures like I was running a pop-up photo booth. It’s cute, easy to use, and makes everyone stop scrolling and actually look at something.

I was so excited to get it. But i was surprised when i received it, both the picture quality and the printing quality are very low. The film got stuck while printing and it stopped working.

Dwukrotnie zamówiłem ten aparat i obydwa egzemplarze były uszkodzone. Pierwszy z nich w ogóle się nie uruchamiał i został wymieniony na nowy, natomiast drugi egzemplarz miał problem z drukowaniem zdjęć - warstwy kolorów nie nakładały się idealnie na siebie, były przesunięte. Aplikacja na telefon w wersji android pozostawia wiele do życzenia.

Llevo utilizando la cámara durante un tiempo, procedo a relatar los pros y contras de esta: Pros: Es una cámara bastante pequeña comparada con la competencia. Imprime fotos con o sin marco y este se puede cambiar de color sin tener que comprar cartuchos especiales. Las fotos son de un tamaño como los de la Polaroid aproximadamente. La foto te sale a 34 céntimos lo cual es una ganga. Permite la impresión de fotos desde tu móvil ya que tiene una app que la puedes conectar a la cámara (esto es muy distintivo al resto). Tiene una batería incorporada capaz de sacar unas 20 fotos. Lo cual está bastante bien sabiendo que los carretes son de 7. Contras: Tiene una pantalla LCD que es una basura pero he de decir a su favor que mantiene la esencia de que no vas a saber muy bien el resultado de la imagen hasta que salga. La batería dura menos si imprimes las fotos desde el móvil sacando unas 10 fotos. Tiene un puerto de carga micro USB. No cuenta con visor por lo que tienes que fiarte de la pantallita. Elegí esta cámara y no a la competencia debido a lo barato que salen los cartuchos, el tamaño de la fotografía y ese formato 2 en 1 pudiendo imprimir fotos del móvil que se quedan olvidadas en el formato digital. Por otro lado decir que no me arrepiento de la compra que hice pero dudaba en comprar la Kodak smile (la compacta) ya que no utiliza cartuchos Kodak. Más que nada por si se va al tacho y luego no hay cartuchos. La otra utiliza papel fotográfico normal solo te tienes q fijar que sea del mismo tamaño y ya. Espero que sea de gran ayuda este comentario y os anime a comprarla. Dentro de un año más o menos hago una actualización.

average camera but makes great print. We take photos on the phone and use the camera to print. Produces good colors

camara muy divertida, funciona muy bien y las fotos tienen colores bonitos, ademas se puede imprimir desde el movil
