I love this camera!! It's not as bulky as some of the other instax cameras but it does still have some bulk. But I got a carrying case for it so I can slide it in the bag and not worry about it. I love how it won't instantly print your pics but you can actually choose which pics are printed by reviewing them first. This makes it worth the camera and film. Sometimes you'll get a bad shot and wasted a print. And the fun don't stop there. You can add frames and even a qr code to record your voice that integrates with the app on your phone so you can hear the recording. Thats perfect for sending someone a pic and they can hear that message over and over no matter where they are. The app is simple and easy to use. Connects to your camera with Bluetooth. And the best part is you can print pics you've taken from your phone or tablet!! That makes the image creativity pretty much infinite. Take a fun pic, edit it in your favorite photo editing app (mine is KVAD Photo Studio Pro and Lightroom Mobile), upload it to the app, adjust to fit in frame, and print. That is great. It's like having a camera and a photo printer in your pocket. Remember the quality of the pics are very vintage style so do mind your shadows and contrast but it's definitely worth it. The photo paper for this camera is very inexpensive. $8-$10 depending on the border you want for 10 prints. You can even find bundles on amazon or even in store at walmart for a great price. I love this camera very much and couldn't recommend it enough!!
