5 comments about Lomography Diana F+ Medium Format Camera with Flash.

1. Got this camera and had a Blast! It's easy to use but offers plenty of room to learn and fine tune your film techniques. The medium format is fun and I shot some great pictures with it, however I completely suggest getting the 35mm back for this camera. The camera has been sturdy for me, I've had no problems and it seems as long as i treat it fairly well it should last a long time for a plastic camera. I've also used a Holga too, and I strongly recommend this camera. You get a lot more options and add-ons with the Diana. good luck, take some fun pictures.



2. I got this as a gift for my brother - he loves it, has been playing with it, very happy. But if your giving it as a gift, you need to buy 120 medium format film (as opposed to regular 35mm film). This is NOT included with the kit, and you'll have to go a camera shop to get it (i.e. not wal-mart). Interestingly, you do not need batteries - except for the flash (1 AA).
   
   Not a big deal, but luckily I realized the need in time to purchase the film, because Christmas presents are more fun if you can play with them right away.
   
   Would definitely buy this again. Probably not for a very young child unless they're really serious about cameras - has manual focus, lots of fiddly settings - fun for my 30 year old architect brother, not great for an eight year old (I imagine). Have yet to see the pictures it takes to see if they're really that unique - will try to update.



3. I like the DianaF+ a great deal and am pleased with the results I get from taking photos with it. In fact, I prefer the DianaF+ over my Holga. The DianaF+ is particularly effective when using the flash. It creates an interesting and artistic vignette that is very cool. I particularly like the "retro" design.
   
   My 4 star rating is based on two things: 1) In my opinion, it's pricey for a plastic camera. And 2) I can't get the lens to remove for pinhole shooting. It just won't come off.



4. Got this camera for my daughter's birthday. She was absolutely stoked and was our snapping pics in no time. Can't wait to see how she did.



5. I bought this camera because my other Diana didn't have a flash. I had also bought flashes to go with the Diana so it was nice to have the adapter. I have been using this camera at parties with the instax mini film to take instant photos. It's fun and a conversation starter. I use the other Diana for regular film. This is easy to use and fun to play with.

1. -this is my mother's account and she bought this camera for me for my graduation/birthday gift-
   
   If you're looking for an instant camera, this is definitely the one to get. The price is definitely reasonable since it comes with batteries, close-up lens, strap, and 100 wide-format exposures. The body of the camera is strong and not too fragile, but of course with any other camera, you have to be careful with how you handle it. So far, it has not given me any technical problems. The photos are bright and sharp, much like a digital but with a vintage touch. :) The photos taken outside are amazing. The only thing I don't like is that you cannot turn the flash off. It doesn't really seem to wash out photos, but when trying to photograph against a reflective surface, you want to be careful about the positioning of the camera so the flash doesn't reflect off the mirror/glass.
   
   Other than that, it's practically perfect. It's really easy to put the film in and then you're ready to shoot. The size of the camera is probably bigger than you'd expect but it doesn't really matter that much, since it isn't too heavy and not too tiring to carry around. It's close to 6" long and 5" tall.
   
   I have to say it's definitely a worthwhile purchase. I absolutely love it and cannot put it down, and I'm waiting to try it out on my trip to Hawaii! :) So seriously, if you're in the market for an instant camera, get this one! I recommend it 100%.



2. The camera was awesome when it worked for a little over 24 hours. After the first cartridge the camera broke and pictures no longer came out of the camera. The pictures came out good. The camera is a little big and clunky, don't know if they need all that plastic to house the electronic materials. The company was great, I sent the camera back and they refunded me the difference with no problem!



3. PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY UNCLEAR. MOST ARE PICTURES, VERY LITTLE WRITTEN INFORMATION. WHEN AND HOW TO USE AND ATTACH THE CLOSE UP ATTACHMENT ARE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT. SO FAR I CANNOT GET IT TO WORK NEARLY AS WELL AS MY OLD POLAROID. IF NEW POLAROID FILM WAS AVIABLE AT REASONABLE PRICE, I WOULD SURE GO BACK TO USING IT.SINCE THE INSTAX IS THE ONLY CAMERA AVIABLE TODAY THAT WILL GIVE YOU AN INSTANT PRINT IN YOUR HAND, IT WILL BE USEFUL ON OCCASSION.

5 comments about Fujifilm Quick Snap Waterproof 35mm Single Use Camera.

1. I used the camera both on dry land and underwater.. the pictures were all very blue in color tone.. I read the reviews and some buyers said on the dryland it was fine... Not in my case.. but it does help to create memories of being underwater.. better than nothing.



2. Picture quality was just average for a single use camera but it was nice to have snorkeling.



3. Bought two cameras for an underwater dive and absolutely nothing came out on any of the film, when I had them developed. So disappointed!!! I was told that there wasn't enough light. There actually was light during the dive...go figure.



4. I bought this camera for my trip to Cancun and it was amazing! Its easy to use and the pictures are nice! I recommend!!



5. Based on other users' reviews, I purchased this camera and to save money did the four pack. I was on a Western Caribbean cruise with four stops and excursions all water related. One camera for each stop. The pictures came out wonderful even when the skies were overcast. The camera was easy to use and the rubber strap gave me the confidence that I wouldn't have to dive to find it on the bottom of the ocean.

1. My 12 year old received this camera for Easter, and she loves it! It's easy to use, and she loves have the pictures instantly!



2. I absolutely love this camera. I bought this one and the original Instax because I am moving to California and my sister and i are doing a collage of pictures from both of my cameras and put it on my wall as decor! Perfect gift for anyone at any age!



3. I bought this camera for a friend of mine. She is loving it. Personally, I've never used it, but she, being a polaroid lover, is happy with this camera. She just loves it.



4. The product was delivered as advertised. The pictures are small but that is one reason why I got it - I want to be able to mail them or attach them to post cards. The pictures come out nice - they take at least a minute to develop. There are four settings to take pictures so generally all conditions are covered.



5. This camera is amazing, I ordered it yesterday, got it today and I haven't been able to stop taking pictures. The design is very cute and the credit card size photos are fantastic. I am very happy with my purchase.

2 comments about Polaroid PIC-300L Instant Analog Camera (Blue).

1. The color of the pictures are not true color and you cant get a close up of the subject , everything is far away.



2. Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2UN49WH80WFDR I have to admit, electronics and hardware don't excite me but I'd be lying if I told you that I wasn't just a little giddy when United Parcel delivered a package containing the new Polaroid 300 camera.
   
   Earlier this month Polaroid Corporation, with the approval of their spokesperson Lady Ga-Ga, released the pic-300 camera. It takes 10 pictures per roll on business card-sized paper (the film is similar to the old 600 and SX-70 type film.)
   
   Speaking of old-style Polaroid film, in January of this year, Polaroid announced that they will be updating their old-fashioned Polaroid One Step camera (The pic-1000 to be released later this year). The Impossible Project also announced the introduction of a new color film that will fit all Polaroid 600 cameras. No word yet if Polaroid film partner Fuji Film will also release 600 type film.
   
   With limited features and a fixed focus, the Polaroid 300 may not be for everyone but I can tell you that it adds lots of FUN to any party where people can walk away with a smile and a color print in their hand.
   
   All-in-all it is quite a year for instant film photography. Just think...this would be possible without YOU! So, pick up some film and start shooting!

5 comments about Fujifilm INSTAX MINI 7S Camera and Film Kit (White) with 5 Twin Packs of MINI INSTAX Film.

1. This camera rocks.....easy to use and the pictures are great! I can't find the film locally, which bites but you just need to shop around for the best bundle deals on line. I use this to take a picture of my daughter using a present someone got her and send it in the thank you card.



2. This camera is great! The pictures have a muted, 1970s feel to them which I love. The clearer the day, the more washed out the colors, which is an effect I love, but I know isn't for everyone. Indoors pictures have stronger color, but regardless of where you are, the photos come out clear. The only reason I am giving this 4 stars rather than 5 is that the camera is a little bulky and you have to get used to holding it. Not really a good camera for going out at night, but I brought it to the beach and it was fantastic.



3. I absolutely love this camera! Is is so great to take with you on vacations for a vintage feel. I keep this one in my bag that I always have with me. Get one. You will not regret it.



4. I've shot 4 pix with this camera and I'm in love. I am a fan of polaroid, as you may know, polaroid discontinued the film. Packs can be had online for about $5 per picture... ouch. There is a new company called 'the impossible project' who are manufacturing film compatible with polaroid, but they aren't quite there, technically, in my opinion, so WHERE to find an instant camera alternative? and hour of research online brought me to the Fuji mini 7s, and I think its an absolute delight. The pictures are about the size of a credit card, which i happen to think is cool. I think the clarity is great- its got a nice, saturated vibe to it. the camera is pretty cool looking- the artist in you can work a little sharpie marker magic on it- customize it.
   
   If you are in to this kind of thing, then I highly recommend this product and film.



5. I purchased this camera and film for my daughter's wedding. We used it for a guestbook photo and message in a scrapbook. It worked great and was a real hit with the guests. The pictures are the size of a credit card, but are quite clear. The only drawback is the price of the camera and film - it's a bit pricey.

5 comments about Holga 120N Medium Format Fixed Focus Camera with Lens.

1. This buy was one of the smartest decisions I've made. It's a great camera for stepping outside of the ordinary and expected. Every shot is an experiment in light, focus and personal style. I love my Holga and would greatly suggest one to a curious photographer, amateur or professional.



2. I bought this camera to play around with in addition to my digital camera and am pleased with it thus far. It's a cheap quality camera so it feels like a toy more than a real camera when you are shooting pictures. It does have light leaks that can produce a unique vignetting effect or can completely wash out the photos. Because of this and the uniqueness of the manufacturing, it can come up with some pretty unpredictable results! If you don't like the effect, it's simple to tape up the sides of the camera. It can use 35 mm film if you adjust the insides a bit, but it usually uses a 120 medium format film. Depending on where you live, it might be hard to find a specialty photography shop to develop your film. It doesn't come with a flash, but this can be bought separately. You can't adjust the focus or the shutter speed either. Since you manually turn the film after each exposure, you can do a neat layering effect on each photo. You can also add color filters to try different effects. It's an interesting camera to experiment with. You won't be able to see the picture immediately after taking it, the same as any film camera. There are other medium format cameras that produce more reliable results, but I recommend this camera for beginners. Also, the picture quality can't compare with digital, but for as cheap as it is, it's worth it if you're interested in some fun pictures. I've only developed one roll of film so far and only three pictures turned out, so I'm not sure if it's the photo shop I went to or if I overexposed the film. They turned out pretty cool, though. They had a kind of pinhole camera quality.



3. It's such a cute little/big camera, I want to say little but it's actually bigger than I thought it'd be. It's just so much fun taking pics with and I've found getting 120 film developed isn't as expensive as I once thought it'd be, it's actually cheaper to get done than 35mm depending on where you take it. For example WalMart's drop off service box can get ti done fair cheaply, while at the same time 35mm seems to cost quite a bit there. Either way this camera is loads fun and I can't wait for spring and summer to get to use it even more.



4. Ok, so it's not a dirty adult toy, but one of my favorite toy cameras. I was used to using a Diana camera but this is much easier and feels like it won't fall apart. I recommend it for the person who wants to begin in lomography type cameras.
   The only thing I don't like about it is it's so expensive to develop the film, but it's totally worth it!



5. I've done a few modifications to my holga already to make it more my style. It was easy to do and the results are exactly what I was hoping for! Holga is pretty fab!

5 comments about Fujifilm Instax MINI 25 Instant Film Camera (White).

1. I bought my Instax Mini 25 from Amazon, and i love it! it is the cutest little camera i owe. the size is nice, i am able to put it in my purse to carry around. It's just a lot of fun to use and to take pictures with, as you watch the develop. The photo quality is pretty good for an instant camera, nice colors and sharp images when you get the focus right. For me, there is more thrill in instant photography than digital. the other review covered all the specs. i would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fun little japanese camera!!



2. Easy to use, good picture quality. Film is expensive but for novelty shots, well worth it.



3. I've never own one instant camera before, and was searching for some polaroid. But after much searching, I gave up of owning a polaroid, cause the films of a polaroid are really expensive! Then, I went considering Instax mini 7 and Instax Mini 25. And with comparison with Instax Mini 7 and Instax Mini 25, Instax Mini 25 is definitely smaller, lighter and of a very cute and pretty appearance!! :D I really love my Instax Mini 25 alot! It's really easy to use, and there's also another button at the side for you to take photos horizontally! (: The photos printed out are also of very high and clear quality! :D
   
   I got it for less than 2days, and people around me were asking me where did I get it, and they seem very interested to buy one too! :D
   
   Overall: 5STARS! :D



4. This camera has been tons of fun, we used it all summer long for various projects and birthdays etc. The film is expensive so you can't really just blast off film without a plan but that is what digital is for. I love that you really don't know quite what you are going to get until the picture develops, but having said that the picture quality is amazingly good.



5. This is my newest toy. I used it to document our road trip in a travel log. It's a lot of fun to use. The camera is bulky but the wrist strap is handy. My biggest issue is not really knowing how to use the magnifying lens--I was always off-focus when I tried to take a photo with that lens on. All of the other photos turned out great. The Mini size film is perfect and cool-quirky for my project.

5 comments about Fujifilm Instax MINI 7s White Instant Film Camera.

1. Such a fun camera! It was a hit everywhere I brought it. Film cost does add up, but worth all the fun times and enjoyment!



2. I bought this camera and film to make an impromptu album on the day of my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. As people arrived, we took their picture, affixed it into an album, and had them write their wishes and sign their names next to their photo. Everyone liked the idea, especially my parents! These little Fuji instant photos are tiny -- only about 2x3 inches (smaller than traditional polaroids), but for this use they were ok. We will also supplement the album pages with more professional, digital photos, but it was good to have these initial photos just to start each page and identify each guest.



3. Omg. This camera is so AWSOME.! The size of the pictures are exactly the same size as a credit card. The picture quality is really great compared to what i thought it would be. Its really cute, fun and easy to use. &&nd it could be used in ANY occasion. I would definitely recommend this instant camera.



4. Takes good pictures when used correctly. It is intuitive to most users, but the person for whom we got the camera has memory deficiencies and can't figure out how to hold it correctly - consistently holds it upside down thus blocking the flash and resulting in black pictures.



5. bought this for my daughter for a big vacation so she could create a scrapbook along the way. pictures were unusable.
