Do you get to preview the shot before it prints and choose not to print a bad shot or is it an instant print like the old school Polaroids?

It's old school. But I love it because it is old school. If you're looking for one that previews and is also a digital camera, Polaroid makes one now that can do that. It's called a Polaroid Z2300 10MP Digital Instant Print Camera.

No. you don't, its an instant camera, if you shot is bad you have to re-take them again.There's no preview, no screen whatsoever, just like a old school film camera.

It is an instant print like the old school Polaroids. Just the same but with a cool design :)

It's old school. It has a tiny mirror, so at least you can see that your face is in the frame!

No, it's a Polaroid, you view the subject click the button and it comes out. Instant gratification.

Yes that's most of what I actually print :) however note that of you crop photos when editing in your camera roll the pictures come out in their original form not edited

My understanding from reading posts on dpreview, www.dpreview.com, the jpgs are excellent. I cannot comment personally since I only shoot RAW.

I have had HP photo printers in the past, and the way to get better quality photo prints is in the settings before you print. You select what paper you are using whether it is matted or glossy, and how much saturation you want.

Hi there. No preview. It's not digital. Point and shoot and you pull a lever to get the pic.

Jessie it does "if', and the "if" is important. The printer is just one step in producing an archival print. The paper you print on is another step in producing a museum quality print. but to answer your question directly, yes this printer will produce archival prints if you do the rest.

Hello, Has anyone figured out how to print pics with the date on them? This is important to me since I don't remember things as easily as before. I looked in the manual and don't see it referenced. Thanks so much!

When printing type, I have never seen a smear. When printing pictures, you can get a fingerprint or very slight smear when it comes out of the printer. I lay my pics on a flat surface for several minutes before viewing, stacking or storing them. Never had a problem with smearing when waiting a few minutes. I have never printed on waterproof paper, nor exposed them to weather.

Tough question to answer. Photo quality is such a subjective thing. What one person thinks looks great, another does not. Can this printer print photos...yes, absolutely it can. Do they look better than the best photo printers out there...well, no they don't. Do they look good? The quality of the print using the manufactures ink looks good to me using generic glossy photo paper. Good enough to print snapshots, make promotional items for school fund raisers, etc. Would I use this printer to create photos to enter a photo contest...probably not. Keep in mind this as well, the software allows for many different settings of how the printer will print a photo and I have not spent hours tweaking it to my tastes. I just use the default settings and was happy enough with the results to use it again for that purpose. The speed is OK. Not super slow, and not super fast either. I deal with a lot of large format (11x17) drawings...that was my purpose in buying this printer.

I save all my pictures to the computer first regardless of what camera I use. Then when I print I select the Kodak printer. It does great doing it this way. So I can print any picture that has the file stored on my computer.

The Polaroid makes a negative when you peel apart the images. After the chemicals dry you can scan the image (s).

When print a matte photo you have to manually put in Matte ink and when you print a glossy or luster or any other type of print you have to manually change the ink to Photo Ink. It is a hassle but the printer prints amazing prints and that is why it is worth it. Although the 3880 (I think that is the number of the newer printer) does it with a push of a button which would be wonderful. But I'm not buying a new printer. The ink is soooooooooo expensive but the printer does a beautiful job. The b/w glossies are absolutely stunning. Hope all this helps.

Did you view the picture on the preview screen on the camera, or on a computer? Many inside pictures I've taken with the flash look way too bright on the camera's screen but look just fine once I copy them to a computer. I've even turned the flash off while shooting because I thought the preview with it on was way too bright, only to find out later that the ones with the flash on looked far better than the ones with it off.

I can tell about my experience. The noted the problem on mine too. It gives a glossy aspect to the picture. I got in contact with photodiox and they sent me a new one straight away. The second one seems to work way better, although it still happen once in a while. Since for me its just a hobby, its not a big deal but it may be a problem if you need it to work. By the way, im very pleased with the product and i believe its the only option to use the Konica AR lenses with Canon EOS.

No, once you click the capture button it takes the photo and prints it immediately after. All poloroid cameras are like this. So you have to me cautious when using your film.

They do not go into the computer as negatives but actual digital pictures ready to print or save. It can also do the same for negatives. I have completed over 1000 slides and negatives of old family outing etc with no problem. Only prob is you can only do 4 at a time, but well worth it.
