I feel this is probably better than carrying around one of those big Instax. It's slim and portable, and you can rely on the quality of your phone's camera or even just an image you find online. I think the process of taking the picture to printing it probably takes a bit longer than instant cameras considering you have to use the app and confirm a bunch of options or whatever. I don't know how it compares as far as price, and how far you get with the amount of cartridges compared. I'm sure someone else has done the math on that. But I will say that the quality of the photos that print are very nice and I was surprised. I guess I was expecting it to feel like a piece of paper you printed out of your office printer. But the photo legitimately looks like a photo that you got developed with the quality paper and finish.Love it so far. Easy to print anytime and anywhere. Clear pictures. Pretty small though, but cute for small gifts. Love that it doesn't use ink and had a charger.I give it to my boyfriend as a gift, and he's in love with The photo printer.Works great and reapractically. Easy to useGood for the pricePictures do not print clearly & color tones are much more different of original pictureThis will be a Xmas present. I’m sure it’s fine. I sure hope. I always did like the old Polaroid cameras. Get your pic right away.Picture quality not greatNon vi aspettate una stampa simile a quella del fotografo! Simpatica e facile, ma lontano da una stampa di qualità . La app di Kodak è da migliorare (es: nn puoi selezionare le foto delle cartelle create ma solo quelle nell libreria di “tutte le foto” )Comoda per la velocità la praticità e la grandezza ma la stampa non ci siamo
