[@codylander]

Isn’t is great? I’m actually going to make a follow up video because I got so many questions on this video. Look for it in the coming weeks. 🤙🏼

Hi! Thanks for the review. You noted at the end that it might be possible to load your own pictures onto the SD card and print pictures taken with a different camera. I just tried that out for about an hour or so, trying to resize and down sample pics from another camera, but when copying them onto the SD card, the camera wouldn't recognize them (even after renaming them, as the file name seems the first filter the camera uses to decide which pictures to display in the playback menu). Being able to print out other pics would be so cool! Did you figure out a way to do it?

[@codylander]

I was thinking about that also. I haven’t tried. I’m going to make a follow up review for this camera. Lots of questions came in from this video.

[@JohnJackVancouverIsland]

Appreciate the review! It's good to know there's a more-affordable alternative to the Instax/Polaroid ecosystems.

[@codylander]

I have been looking at all of the instant print options on the market. From cheaper fujifilm and slightly more expensive Polaroid. Even all the way to premium options like Mint and frankinstax. For the money it’s tough to beat this little camera.

Thanks for the review. Are you able to turn off the date print on the photos?

[@codylander]

Good question. Unfortunately no, this model only gave me the ability to change the date and time… It’s a pretty small date and time stamp though. Not a deal breaker for me.

[@luisbarros11]

is it possible to reprint photos from the sd card?

[@codylander]

Yes, you can! That will also allow you to select the photos you want to make for a long Photo Booth style multi print.

have you tested the flash yet? I'd like to know if it works on pitch black rooms

[@codylander]

I just tested this in my home. For close up smaller objects in an almost completely dark room you can get a decent shot using the flash(led light). Trying to shoot a larger subject like a person in a completely dark room not so great. Close up face okay, half body not really, full body no. The light is just a little led. It’s not a real flash like you’d see on a real camera. It’s a toy. With all of this said. I still think it’s great. It works. It’s like $40usd!

[@juchuva]

@ thank you!!

[@codylander]

You got it. Let me know if you have more questions. Happy to help you out. 😋

[@ArianahTrujillo]

@@codylanderQuick question, how do you turn the flash on? Thank you!

[@boimesa8190]

Some of these cameras say they allow for "DIY frames" or "custom picture" but don't actually explain what this means. I'm looking to get one of these cameras for our parties but have our logo and/or social media @ added to the borders. Any idea how that could be possible?

[@codylander]

Let me check for you. From what I saw in the menu my guess is no. But let me double check.

[@boimesa8190]

What about when connecting it to the computer? ​@@codylander

[@codylander]

Sorry for the wait. I’m away on a trip right now. I will be doing a deep dive and follow up video to answer questions like yours. You can expect that in the coming weeks.

[@faye_rh]

honestly just bought this for myself to take with me at parties to give to people as little savours!

[@codylander]

It’s perfect for that! Make sure to bring a small light so you don’t have to only rely on the mini built in flash. The video is surprisingly good for $40usd. Especially considering that people are investing into older digital camera to get that “broken digital” look.

[@cariemedsme8882]

Question! Can you remove the time stamp?

[@codylander]

I didn’t see that option in the menu. I could be wrong. I’m going to make a follow up review for this camera. Lots of questions came in from this video.

[@Chloe13954]

How can I contact you? I have some high-quality products that I would like you to review.

[@codylander]

You can start here in my comments. “High-quality products” is a pretty broad term.
