KODAK Smile Instant Print Digital Camera – Slide-Open 10MP Camera w/2x3 ZINK Printer (White/ Yellow)

After doing a lot of research (but apparently not enough) for a simple, economical, quality instant camera for my employer (after the polaroid film for our old ID camera stopped being made and our supply ran out), I settled on KODAK Smile Instant Print Digital Camera. We do not wish to spend thousands or even hundreds on a new ID system, and this seemed ideal as the size of the prints, ability to take two in photo booth mode, and the ability to delete or select what to print seemed perfect. What didn't click was the fact the Zink paper is heat set and our plastic laminating machine would destroy the prints. We considered the type that use the ribbon cartridge prints, but those seem to jam and break per reading reviews. The current Polaroid style are too thick (our old system had the prints that you peeled away the outside, not the thick prints with chemical pod borders that are not easily trimmable. As much as I would love this camera for personal use, I decided I'd rather get a Zinc printer and use my cell phone with it, so I opted not to buy it off my employer but to return it as it failed to serve the purpose for which it was bought. The claims that the prints are heat resistant are not valid with a thermal laminator. We ended up buying a traditional style Fugi Poloroid type camera which the prints are hard to cut unless you delaminate or peel the clear plastic from the top and black plastic from the bottom (prints will then curl but not a problem once laminated in the plastic ID badge). This is not recommended by some due to the risk of coming in contact with caustic chemicals. The Kodak smile takes clearer pictures than the Fugi, It has a controllable or automatic flash, focus and exposure, many features that I liked. I highly recommend it to people looking for a fun instant camera that do not need the prints to withstand heat.

Kodak Smile Instant digital camera is fabulous and exciding, I was so excited when I heard that Kodak came out with such a cool device. The smile camera is equipped with a LCD viewfinder fixed focus making it very easy to smile, point, shoot and print! I love the automatic flash feature so when you are in low light it automatically flashes and comes with a 10MP lens, what makes this point and shoot stand out is the editing suite this cool camera offers when you take an image it will save (device is microSD compatible and you can save up to 256gb of memories!) the picture before going into edit mode, there is an assortment of filter to choose from you can choose to add or remove borders on any image. The coolest feature is the FACT that it prints color phots right on the spot with its one touch printing and no ink is needed! Making it easy to share with friends and family (they love the wallet size 2x3 prints, a few are hanging on my refrigerator it is peel off sticky backed photo paper ) the Kodak 2x3 paper is very economical too. The box included • A camera that takes photos and instantly prints them. • A USB cable that recharges the battery after printing 40 photos • A Kodak Zink photo 5 paper starter pack ( 50 pack is available on Amazon to buy) • A Quick start guide • A limited warranty • 5 Sticker frame boarders Overall the Kodak Smile instant camera is easy to use, has decent picture and print quality, is smudge and waterproof prints making it a very giftable idea for kids, teens and adults, it’s fun convenience and cool looking!!!!

Like most reviews say, pictures are not a high quality but I think it is more than fine for a 10 year old and their first camera.

Great product I love the throwback look of the pictures. Camera quality is what you would expect of a Polaroid camera. Nice compact size, easy to use, you do need a SD card to have more pictures without you will only be able to store 5 pictures other than that you would have to print them out on the spot. Holds about 10 slips of film max.

If you are buying a gift for a young kid who wont care too much about picture quality this is a great camera. My daughter loves being able to print pictures and take any picture she wants. Control is in short supply for 7 year olds right now. It was literally the ONLY thing she specified on her Christmas list, so I am happy with the purchase. I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a larger SD card and extra film for under the tree. Both were really good advice. the camera functions exactly as advertised in the description, it is reasonably easy to figure out the functions, and works much better in daylight than indoor light.

As others have pointed out, the picture colors tend not to be bright and true to life (unless you're really close up on the subject and in very good lighting) but this kind of plays into the charm of the retro-looking photos and it wasn't an issue for me. The camera is super easy to charge, use, and reload, and it's easy to carry around. Since it has an SD card, you can give away the pictures you take and still reprint more for yourself later or download to your computer instead of only having the one chance. I'm using it to capture fun moments with friends but also to catalog what I'm storing in some small cardboard boxes: just stick the photo on the front! It's a really cute little thing and every time I've used it around others, people have asked me what model it is because they want to get one, too.

I was really skeptical to spend any more money on a instant camera, I had a instax mini 7 and it took 2-3 pictures then the rest all failed. Each package of film same thing. But I’m having a gender reveal and I am determined to have a instant camera photo album of everyone who shows up instead of everyone signing a book. What I liked about this product is that it came with 5 photos already so that you can test the camera. I’m very pleased. You can also see the photo before printing and you can add a border or no border or you can do a Photo Booth setting where it’s two pictures side by side. It also has simple filters, normal, black and white, vintage and aqua. Overall happy with my purchase!

My grandson loves it. ! Get one Have some fun with your New Camera !

Es un producto increíble, la calidad de la foto es buena pero nada de otro mundo, es muy divertida y es excelente para niños, la recomiendo usar en eventos familiares o amistosos donde queremos guardar un bonito recuerdo de ese día, el papel también es fácil de conseguir.

Great product! Love that you can view the photo before printing it! Has options for flash or no flash, filters, borders, timer and more! The quality of photo is pretty good considering it prints in seconds! Only thing that’s slightly negative is that it only holds 5 photos - however it has space for a Micro SD card. Would recommend!

Great little camera with instant printing. Bought to record family get togethers and for the kids to have fun with. They did! Only used indoors so far, photos a bit dark but a lot better when remember to put full lighting on in room. Worth buying just for the fun.

Super produit, je l’ai choisi car le papier et pas cher et la qualitée et superbe. Le colis je l’ai reçu rapidement tres bien emballée. L’appareil photo et tres simple d’utilisation, c’est tres facile pour mettre le papier dans l’appareil. Le menu est intuitif, on peux rajouter des cadres minions et la qualité d’impression de la photo et tres belle. La couleur de l’appareil et jolie il est pas trop grand, ce qui permet de le transporter partout

Es una muy buena cámara, tal vez la definición en las fotos no es HD pero la impresión es aceptable, en comparación a otras que he visto. No requiere tinta, solo necesita el papel fotográfico para la impresión y listo. No tiene mucha memoria interna, solo permite tomar 3 fotos, pero se puede expandir con una micro SD y lista para sacar muchos recuerdos!
