Love love love this!! So much fun and it's so nostalgic to go pick up your photos. My husband and I took this on a recent trip to Morocco and just had a blast with it. Photos turned out great and it's easy to use

Bought this to travel with. I'm very disappointed. I just picked up my third roll of film that only allowed for 10 photos before it jammed. Prior to this roll, my last 2 (one in color / other in black and white) had MANY flaws and or complete blank shots. Spend the extra for better quality, not worth all the wasted money on film I threw down the drain.

Was really hoping to love this camera - bought it for my husbands birthday, and have had multiple disappointments so far. When the camera was bumped, the roll clicked back to the start, so we were only able to develop half a roll of film. On this most recent weekend, I took a ton of pictures of a bachelorette party, only to have about half of them show up on the film, all with pretty severe issues (underexposed, overexposed, marks on the film). We're likely going to get a new camera, and I'm so sorry this one didn't work out.

It's a perfect starter camera for someone who is new to shooting film.

So I initially got this camera because I wanted to switch over from disposables to something reusable. Was definitely not expecting this to be the quality of a McDonald's kids meal toy. Sure it is lightweight but it just feels and looks cheap. Not only that but it works terribly. Halfway through my first roll, it jammed completely and after surrendering my film to the light (pain.) so that I could fix it, I wasn't able to get it to work again. $40 + $10 in film down the drain. Save your money and invest in something higher quality. I lost some really good shots because of this piece of junk.

Perfect beginner film camera! I wanted something easy to use and light weight for trips. Shipping was so fast and not too much unnecessary packaging which I appreciate.

A bit difficult to put film in for beginner. Camera quality looks good. Service was decent.

I should have known that with this low price, the camera would be low quality too. I've tried to shoot two rolls of film in this camera, both times each roll got jammed half way through. The flash worked maybe five times, but has not worked in a few months. I haven't developed either rolls of film so I'm unsure of the finished quality but I'm pretty bummed that not all the frames in these rolls were used. Waste of film and money... If you are on the fence about purchasing this camera I would recommend looking into a different product.

Good quality considering the price. Very beginner friendly :) Ordered it all the way from the US even though I live in Denmark and it came in a week. Would buy from here again.

in the short time i have owned this camera, which was already delayed because of the 2 and a half month long shipping pause, i can comfortably and confidently say that this camera is a waste of money and a pathetic excuse for something that was supposed to a cheaper alternative to benefit the environment. the build quality of the camera is worse than the disposables i will pick up at gas stations. the cheap plastic that makes up the entire body (including the lense and every analog part) feels like it will shatter at the slightest touch. there have been several times where i have just picked the camera up off of a stationary countertop and had the picture counter reset and the film compartment pop open, meaning the film was ruined just by touching the camera. the action to progress the film within the camera has to either have come broken on mine or is just built to not function as i had to use both hands and quite a lot of force just to be able to unreliably take another picture while i have yet to actually develop any film taken on this camera, my hopes are absolutely barren. it has torn up several film rolls that ive tried to roll back up for development and wouldnt surprise me at all if every single roll had been double exposed, over exposed, or not even exposed at all. after 3 months of waiting, $40 gone from my wallet, and countless captured memories lost forever; i have no issue saying that this is the worst camera i have ever used, even for the quality and market it is being pushed at? this thing is a piece of trash, one star is far too many stars for such a literal waste of matter

I wanted so bad to love this camera, but unfortunately after a couple of failures, I'm pretty bummed it did not work out for me. The simplicity of the design, as well as its practicality, make this camera easy to use and overall a really reasonable product within the reusable camera market. All of these features can easily make it a worthy go-to camera, perfect for almost any scenario and especially great for beginners or people who just want to shoot film for fun. Like I said, I wanted to love this camera, but after two separate tries, both resulted in problems with my film. My first time using this camera resulted in failure after trying to get my first roll of film developed, I got word back that it was completely empty. The second time around, the roll got stuck about halfway through its use and the camera itself is no longer allowing me to advance the film forward. Rookie mistakes happen when it comes to setting up canisters, but after a decent amount of research and bit of practice over the years, I'm positive that I set up the film correctly in the spool beforehand. In my case, this all may have just been bad luck. I had super high hopes for this camera and I don't want to knock down the great features it offers, but at the end of the day it, it's hard for me to say this is a reliable product. I don't want to give up on this camera, but I currently don't have the patience to risk losing out on another roll of film.

I brought this to have a cheap little film camera to throw in my bag on adventures or on the day to day and I love it. It's pretty budget, but the images come out pretty well considering, and I love that they're not perfect or super sharp. I've developed a couple films on it now and plan to do many more. Would totally recommend it!

I purchased this camera primarily because of Moment's video review on YouTube hoping for a low-end film camera that filled my want of disposable-like photos without the significant plastic waste. I do digital wedding photos professionally, so I was looking for something to simplify the memory collection process. Given that premise, I was not expecting anything super high quality because you get what you pay for, but here's what I've found with this camera: 1) The film scans are actually not half bad and totally live up to what I expected given?Nothing extremely high quality, some imperfections, grain, a bit of distortion, funky lens flares, decent color, little-to-no compression. These things are totally fine and live up to the messaging around this camera. 2) The camera is super easy to use, even for someone like me who had never loaded film before. With so few buttons and functions, there are only so many things one can do incorrectly, right? 3) It only survived one roll of film. Yep, you read that right. I loaded my second roll of film, filled the roll with exposures, and when I went to remove it, the release button on the bottom of the camera refused to function properly. After a rough film retrieval process and a now-non-functional camera, the film was back in its canister; however, the roll came back from the shop completely blank. Not sure why. Could it be user error? Sure - but I followed the same process that I used for my first experimental roll and the camera malfunctioned as described above. I know how to take care of cameras and I treated it gently, yet it still malfunctioned after shooting my second roll. Oh well?I guess I'll be looking into a replacement that's a bit higher quality now that I have rolls of film lying around that need to be used.

I received it and was super excited to use it! I put a new battery in it and waited for the flash light to turn on but no luck. I haven't tried developing the first roll of film I used for it yet but might be returning/exchanging it. I ended up buying a disposable camera for my event instead because I needed the flash to work. Sad lyfe ??

Get what you pay for in build quality, but for a fun thing that brings back nostalgic feelings. Recently took this in my trip to Grand Teton, Yellowstone, And Glacier NPs.

Disclaimer* I haven't developed any film from this camera yet. I have used it for photos a handful of times now since I received it and it's lightweight, easy to handle, and easy to use. It's got a plastic body & lens so it's not bulky or heavy and fits in my pocket or bag easily. Travel friendly, and the design is nice looking. Based on this I would give the camera 5 stars. But I'm sure the photos will develop nicely with a nice 80s-90s grit/vibe to it.
