KODAKMini Shot 2 Retro 4Pass 2-in-1 Instant Camera and Photo Printer (5.3 x 8.6 cm) + Initial 8 Sheets + 60 Sheets Bundle, Yellow

Perfect But better when using phone for image and then print. But print is good too

Well pleased! I'd read some very disappointing reviews of this camera, poor print quality, slow to start up and slow to print etc - not so in my case. I'm a retired pro photographer, I'm going on a church Mission trip to the Philippines in July 2024, the areas we're visiting to deliver donated UK aid are in some of the more remote and poor areas. I wanted to be able to give some of the many kids who turn up at the distribution areas an instant print, they've seen their photos on the back of compacts and SLR's before, but as far as I know never had any prints to keep. I'd considered the other well known instant cameras, but this one seemed to be exactly what I wanted, camera and 2 spare print packs (60 photos in total) for £112UK. When it arrived, I downloaded the iPhone App, it immediately did a firmware update on the camera, so maybe this addressed some of the issues people had mentioned. In my first tests (sorry for the cat and dog photos, but they made good models!) I wanted to see how quick the camera started up (15 seconds) and then printed, the first print from cold was 1min 20 seconds, the second print was 1 min 5 seconds. The selfie with the camera, was taken on an iPhone and then printed on the Kodak using Bluetooth, using an iPhone as a camera and then printing with the Kodak can give some stunning results. This is only a brief review, I've not mentioned the flash, selfie mirror(!), self-timer or the filters, you can get that info from the Kodak/Amazon website, my final word on this camera - the kids in the PI will love it!

The media could not be loaded. This product is great at printing photos from phones and taking pictures but you need to be patient. It’s not instant almost like a Polaroid but actually prints off the picture slowly (as seen in the video). It’s a pleasant process but can be almost a minute long - the quality seems better than Polaroid. The camera itself has Woeful battery… in about 30 minutes the cameras battery is almost depleted! But if you have a moment you want to capture by phone or in the moment it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Worth the Black Friday purchase - but is it worth the £130 rrp? Maybe not…

This is an exceptional product, I bought it for my Daughter for her wedding day for her guests to take photos for her guest book

Wish I had read reviews on Reddit before buying this, complete waste of money broke after 3rd cartridge use so only got 30 prints same issue as many other reviews with no possible fix for the the issue.

Daughter was over the moon its an amazing camera

Great concept but the battery life is awful. It only really works if you have a battery booster charger or something similar otherwise it’s not a reliable option for any event.

Really top quality Camera and prints
