Product Information

Photo Quality:Do the photos look sharp, focused and clean when they come out? After taking photos with the best instant cameras, we put the photos side by side to compare overall quality, color contrast and brightness. This was the most important factor we considered in our ranking. Instant Camera + Photo Printer: The KODAK Mini Shot 3 Retro is a 2-in-1 digital camera with a built-in photo printer, so you can print your images or cancel them after you have taken them. Pro-Tip: Take advantage of the app’s editing tools to adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and other parameters. This way, you can fine-tune your photos and ensure they look their best before hitting the print button. Review There is an initial warm-up period that can take up to a minute when printing the first photo, followed by a four-pass print process.

Camera Price:How much does the camera cost in comparison to its competition? Is the price fair considering the camera’s design, quality and feature set? As mentioned, the dye-sub printer makes four passes—laying down cyan, magenta, and yellow ink, plus a clear coat that helps colors pop and protects the image from fingerprints and dust. (Zero-ink printers use special paper infused with colors released by the printer's application of heat.) Kodak says that, with proper storage, images from the device should last for up to a century. Other instant cameras use Zink paper, which uses heat to activate colors in the paper. The advantage to Zink is that you don’t have to worry about accidentally exposing the paper to light, as you do with Instax film. However, we’ve found that Zink prints tended to be less vibrant overall. To put it simply, an instant film camera is designed with its own little internal developing studio in which all the mechanisms necessary to develop the instant film exist. These instant film cameras must be outfitted with self-developing film, which removes the need for you to develop the film yourself or bring it someplace where it can be developed for you. Instant film cameras are also typically very easy to use, with simple buttons and minimal features so beginners can jump in with very little experience needed. Battery Life:We tested each of these cameras over a two week period and shot two rolls of film. All of the cameras we tested lasted during the entire test period, and overall we didn’t find any major issues with battery life. As we continue testing these cameras, we will be sure to update this section as we learn more.

Unlike the old Polaroids from my youth, these instant photos won’t fade or become grainy over time. The technology behind the photo paper is different, and it doesn’t use that chemical layer that older instant cameras used. I have taken photos of food with my iPhone and printed them with this Kodak printer, and let me tell you, the food looks so realistic it’s hard to believe it’s just a photo!

A. You don’t need to shake the photo. The photos printed using the Kodak Instant Cameras come fully developed. Q. How long does it take to print a photo using the Kodak Instant Camera?

This instant camera/Bluetooth printer disappoints at both its tasks.

Still, we did have a blast taking photos with this camera, which is a great option for daytime selfies and group photos due to the reliable self-timer option. In addition, the camera has a pretty neat double exposure feature. We also love the little red wrist strap that comes with the camera, making it a perfect out-on-the-town adventure buddy.
