I recently picked up the Vivitar Instant Camera with Printer (2.0" TFT + 16GB Micro SD Card) for just over $35, and overall, I’m pretty happy with the value it offers at this price point.
Built-in Printer: Super convenient for instant photo prints. It's perfect for parties, scrapbooking, or just having physical memories on the go
Affordable: At this price, it’s a budget-friendly way to get into instant photography without investing in more expensive brands.
Included SD Card: The 16GB Micro SD card was a great bonus plenty of space to store digital copies of all your shots.
Compact Design: Small and easy to carry, great for travel or casual use.
Print Quality: The prints aren’t super high-res, but they’re decent for quick mementos. Don’t expect pro-level output.
Screen Size: The 2.0" TFT screen is quite small, so previewing photos can be a little tricky.
Battery Life: Not the longest lasting, so I’d recommend charging it often if you plan on using it for extended periods.So
If you're looking for a fun, easy-to-use instant camera without breaking the bank, the Vivitar delivers on the basics. It’s ideal for casual users, kids, or anyone who enjoys having tangible photos instantly.

Five star not because the prints are great, but for what you get for the money! You will need to have or buy a micro-SD card for it. The printer is thermal, like what they use to print receipts, so "lo-def" black and white prints. Still, for using cheap paper, it works okay for people, and the paper is cheap. Kids would like it. By hitting the printer button in picture mode you can toggle between printing and not printing the picture. When reviewing pictures, you can print from there by hitting print button. The wide color pictures are fine and can be stored on computer if you have a card reader. Initially, the prints were rather light, but changing a couple things in the menu made a stronger contrast. Menu is easy to use and intuitive. One of these days, I may pay much more for a camera that does good color prints, but for now, I'm having fun with my "toy" camera! Great for the price, and no issues so far.

5 Stars for Terrible in a Fun Way

First of all, if you're looking for a 'good' instant camera, this is not it. For about $35 what you get is a very cheap camera with limited functions that prints in B/W on thermal paper. It's not good. It's really, really terrible, actually. BUT I think it's terrible in a fun way. I'm sure I'll find a way to use these awful thermal prints to make some kind of Art. So, I guess what I'm saying is that if you're looking for something extremely cheap to play around with, and not looking for capital G Good, then this is the camera for you.

Perfect for kids under the age of 7. The print quality is horrendous, but my kids love it and it’s cheap to replace the print paper.

My 6 year old daughter loves this camera. It was precious watching her capture her favorote memories & being able to print the imagine instantly. She used the box that the camera came in to keep up with the pictures because the box was a hard plastic type. Everything was perfect. Will buy again for another gift.

Disappointed

The title is misleading. It makes it seem like an sd card is included, in the product description it even says one is included. But there is no sd card and it doesn’t appear that you can use it without one so now my daughter has to wait until I can order one in order to use her Christmas gift. You can’t even take a picture and immediately print it without an sd card!

This is the kind of camera you buy for the value and the experience of capturing moments. The quality is not the best, but again this is a budget camera. It’s worth it in my opinion as an affordable alternative to other digital cameras. Being able to print pictures is the best!

Charged it, no light showing charge (manual said it would light red). Would not power up with charger plugged in. Complete waste of time. Should have read the other reviews first.
