Let me start by saying, this little camera is an absolute joy to use! The pastel blue color is so cute and Instagram-worthy - it's been getting compliments everywhere I take it.
The twist-to-turn-on mechanism feels satisfyingly tactile, and the built-in selfie mirror (though tiny) is a clever addition. I've used it at parties, and watching people's faces light up as their photos develop never gets old.
Photo quality is charmingly retro - don't expect smartphone sharpness. The colors have that wonderful vintage Polaroid vibe that makes every shot feel special. The automatic exposure works surprisingly well in most lighting conditions.
My favorite feature? The close-up mode. I've captured some adorable shots of my cat that came out perfectly focused. Pro tip: the parallax correction really helps frame your subjects accurately.
Now for the downsides: Yes, the film is pricey (about $1 per shot), which makes you think twice before clicking. And while the selfie mirror helps, framing perfect selfies still takes some practice.
Perfect for: Weddings (amazing guestbook idea!), travel memories, or just adding analog charm to your digital life. Just be prepared to fall in love with instant photography all over again!
