Thank you so much for making this video. I got this for my daughter's birthday and as simple as it seems to use, we were having a few issues. Your directions were simple and spot on. Thanks again:)

[@KensKreations]

***** sweet

[@eyelashkiss]

My grape instax arrived yesterday and so much smaller than I expected which is awesome! :3 going out today to take photos! Great video.

[@janiceblair5698]

GREAT job Ken! Was thinking of getting camera and you just sold me. Like your style.

[@KensKreations]

Janice Blair thanks!

[@Yaeloso]

I was thinking about getting this camera for my girlfriend this Christmas and this review has really helped me in my decision to buy it, awesome video and great work! Thanks for the help!

[@KensKreations]

+Yaeloso Thanjks!

[@ellied4312]

I want one for my birthday but my mum needed to know everything that you need to know about this so I went straight to this video and she thought it was very helpful

[@KensKreations]

+Ellie.d. That is great! Thanks!!!

[@marianaalcocer]

Love it. I got my camera from my brother for Christmas, My camera is teal blue!!!!!! I haven't used it yet because I need ti buy the film. Loved the video. Thanks.

[@KensKreations]

+Mariana Alcocer this camera is so addictive!!!!

[@cutypies10]

I'm absolutely in love with this! I'm getting mine in grape!

[@KensKreations]

+cutypies10 so much fun!

[@irrevocablytired3713]

Thank you so much for those tips and the setting examples! I know that my parents are getting me this for my birthday (they're were really obvious) and I wanted to be sure that I wanted it. Thank you!

[@KensKreations]

+AmazingSPQR you will love it!

[@floristgaming7204]

I'm just binge watching so many videos like these! I should get mine really soon I'm super excited! Also nice video, Alrighty bye!

[@haleyherrera2037]

The reason the view finder is "off" is because the lens in the middle of the camera is what takes the actual picture not the part you view out of. Also, for the film to fully develop you should wait at the very least 10 to 15 minutes. The vid was good overall so nice job.😊

[@haleyherrera2037]

I personally have one of these cameras and I love to watch all kinds of videos on them so it's ok if you didn't understand why the camera does some of the things it does

[@KensKreations]

I wouldn't say that I do not understand why the camera does some of the things it does. I understand the camera fine. Thanks for watching

[@KensKreations]

Thanks for watching! I have not read anywhere about the 10-15 mins. You think that would be in the owners manual.

[@haleyherrera2037]

+Kens Kreations Srry I didn't mean you didn't understand it like that I meant it more like when you were talking about the view finder thing and how it was a little different when you took the actual pic. Srry😳.... And I your right, it didn't really say how long to let it develop for. But i think on the film box it says something about leaving it alone or not cutting it damaging it for ten or so minutes( I'm not sure I'd have to check) because of some chemical in the film or something but ya. Great vid

[@KensKreations]

This is great information for people to know! Thanks so much for bringing it to my attentions and no need to apologize. Sorry if my comment came off as defensive as that was not my intention and that is why I hate chat sometimes. Our emotions get lost in translation! I think this is good info and I will add it to my description link!

[@Emmieoooo]

I ordered this camera in the raspberry colour today and I also ordered disney's tsum tsum instax film for it :D Going to head to toys r us to get the regular white film as well.

[@Emmieoooo]

+Gamergirlmash But additional thoughts is the circle "lens" has the shutter. That is where the camera is aiming. I took 2 photography classes while in high school. In the "olden days" when you have a view finder, it's only there to help, anyone with the basic knowledge of a camera may know this. The view finder is not "off center" it is just the way the camera is designed. It's the way all view finder cameras were designed. So that's not a "negative" to this camera, if you'd like the "instant" part of this then you will need to learn how to use a view finder with out 100% relying on the circle that is supposed to be "center".

[@diegotrevino4286]

Thanks for showing the exposure , I didn't knew why my photos were so dark

[@KensKreations]

You bet

[@RHG412]

[@beren4080]

LPSPancakeProductions you're really lucky 👏👏👏😍😍😍

[@avamcilkenny3957]

thxa.v was the camera the waste of money?

[@LMH0825]

Ken Hess, great review. Well done. Love all the special packages that you can get of film.

[@lynn2cu]

Great review! TFS Ive seen them at stores and was curious. I like the product, I just think that the cost of the film is extreme. Especially for teenagers on a limited budget which would take the fun out of using it. I think the cannon selphy is a much better investment. Not exactly comparing apples to apples here but it is a great way to share actual photos.

[@KensKreations]

Lynn M Yeah I agree the film is a little expensive!

[@MsSuperklutz]

Awesome Review Ken Loved your presentation....I do have the Yellow one and you are spot on in your info!! I did pick up some tips from you so thanks.....as always you really do a great job on explaining everything right down to the finest detail! It is a fun camera and it is fun for scrapbooking. Thanks again for a super great tutorial and I'm sure this camera's sales are going to soar from your presentation..... YOU ROCK!! Joan Smith

[@everaythang]

just ordered one, a carrying case and a shit load of film off of amazon! lol I'm excited!

[@KensKreations]

YAHOO!!! Thanks for watching

[@mehikashetty2612]

Thank you so much..I will try doing this next time! I tried keeping my hand over the flash to diffuse it..that did not help but I shall try this one!

[@KensKreations]

Mehika Shetty awesome

[@haleyelisabeth3980]

THANKYOU so much for this video!!!!! It help me so much... and now I have one and I love it!!!!

[@KensKreations]

+Halyn Williams awesome sauce!

[@Hallie-bx9ut]

I've learned my lesson with taking photos outside when it is really cold and shaking the photo after it prints

[@KensKreations]

+Hallie Hmmmm....to be honest never done it when it is cold.

[@doglover5524]

There is also Indigo, Orange, and Orchid. I got the orange. It seems like no one has it.

[@brianafoster522]

I got the white just cause I like the simple clean color haha I didn't see those though? where? just curious

[@doglover5524]

+Briana Foster The Indigo and orchid are online but the orange I got at Best Buy.

[@brianafoster522]

Is the indigo different than grape? Lol what even is the color of an orchid.. Am I just being dumb? Maybe I did see them when I got mine I don't remember I got it on amazon for like $64 or something like that

[@doglover5524]

Briana Foster The orchid is on amazon and same with the indigo, but the Orange I only saw at best buy. Indigo looks more like a dark blue, and the orchid is like a magenta and lavender mix.

[@alexismarie5941]

+Jacie Griff What is your opinion on the orange one? I almost got it but ended up choosing black :p

[@jeritime1484]

Loved this video. Most explained one ive seen Mine is coming tomorrow, cant wait 💕

[@KensKreations]

JeriTime LOVE this camera

[@jeritime1484]

[@nhunghuynh5220]

Mohamed Ali Rock On!! Thanks for watching

[@milja2360]

I wonder what happens to the photos outside the optimal temperature. I just bought one online so it hasn't arrived yet but I do live in a climate where we have down to -20 degrees celcius (-4 farenheit) in the winter and I prefer to take photos outside. Should I stick to my regular DSLR or give it a go? By the way, great review!

[@KensKreations]

+Milja Thanks for watching

[@kachinyan]

thanks for the review!! it really helped me understand more about it specially in adjusting the focus and brightness of it xD i got a raspberry coloured instax btw :)

[@KensKreations]

Thanks for watching!

[@brandonboogers]

I'm having a hard time choosing between this and the Polaroid 420. I like this because it's modern and that means that if it breaks I can return it or get it repaired, but the pictures are so small. I like the Polaroid 420 because it looks cool, the pictures are large and it's an actual Polaroid, but the pictures don't look like Polaroids.

[@brandonboogers]

Also, I know polaroids are point and shoot cameras but I really wish these had an aperture and a focus ring

[@KensKreations]

+Anal “Negro” Avacado i prefer this one

[@allielee]

There's also a "margarita green" that I got!

[@TiamatStorm21]

Its no problem! your video is brilliant by the way, very informative

[@dyanovitz]

i was thinking about getting this camera for my upcoming trip to disney world. so lets say im walking around decide to take a pic, the film comes right out. where should i put it while walking around so it doesnt get ruined? in a pocket in my bookbag, in my phone case, etc...?

[@KensKreations]

+dyanovitz the best place would be in an envelope then in a backpack

[@addyfredell7043]

[@jeritime1484]

[@ThisIsTylerBarnes]

[@tylevis98]

THANKS for the GREAT review!!! Just one question...do you know if the film is acid free or safe to put in scrapbooks???

[@KensKreations]

Brandy Newcomer yes

[@abcefg5118]

why does all the red lights on the dial setting keep flashing? I still have a pretty good amount of films left and I changed the batteries not too long ago and have only used the camera once after changing the batteries:(

[@KensKreations]

abc efg hmmm......does it flash all the time?

[@vikishi1915]

Amazing help!!

[@KensKreations]

+Viki Shi Yahoo!!!!

[@kayaattard67]

Hey may i ask, do you need ink for it and how is it possible for the paper to be colorful without ink if not?

[@KensKreations]

no ink, this is polaroid film

[@lorenlloyd182]

Mine from Amazon came with a starter cartridge with 5 photos.

[@mehikashetty2612]

Hey this review was amazing..but I have doubt.,I went to the beach and it was really really very sunny out there so when I tried clicking a picture with my mini8 it recommended the very sunny setting and I did that..but my pic turned out to be completely white washed.,this happened like four times.,any idea why? Is it because it was too hot outside?

[@KensKreations]

Mehika Shetty Hmm...I have seen some people say if you put your hand over the light sensor will help with this

[@wearelife2583]

+Mehika Shetty I was really worried about beach photos when I was on vacation. What I did was cover the flash with white electrical tape and they actually turned out perfect. Give that a try if you haven't yet!

[@Codiliabra]

Would this be good for a beginner in photography?

[@KensKreations]

+Zoe Music yes, but not really high quality photos. easy to use

[@frameturtle]

11:02 thats what Max from life is strange does, I thought thats what you were supposed to do!

[@KensKreations]

he is not suppose too. lol

[@Lexig76]

Right after I take a picture, will it mess up the developing process if I put it in a dark small space? like if I put it in a pocket.

[@milkybat]

I might get one for Christmas yayyyyy ! 😂🙏

[@wonc1ty]

That's weird my brother, my sister, and me all bought cameras and their was film that came in our box. We got the black, the white, the blue

[@brendabernardino4805]

I'm getting mine in 2 weeks and I'm debating on which color to get. I am either getting the pink or blue.

[@KensKreations]

So fun!!!
