The girls see me taking pictures and videos all the time and I often get asked if they can have a camera or if they can take their phones out with them. First off, the phones I know cost a fortune and I am always worried they will leave them, drop them, have them stolen etc. The girls don’t go anywhere without me so to be honest its usually me taking the pictures anyway. As far as cameras are concerned we have looked at a few which would be good for older kids/teens but again, are they really going to take the time to learn how to use them properly. Considering I still use auto for all pics they probably wont even look at the manual!
When we were approached to review the Photo Creator Instant Camera the girls were so happy. Not just at the opportunity to take their own images but to be able to print them straight away too. The fun of waiting for images wore off years ago, I can remember having to wait a week for photos to get developed at the chemist. These days its instant gratification and I don’t blame them, its what we are now use to.
The Photo Creator Instant Camera is a 12 megapixel little pocket memory maker. There are so many exciting features including more than 20 fun photo filters and effects, a shutter timer for group selfies, video recording, and a selfie lens for effortless self portraits. It literally contains everything you would need to bring your scrapbooking, memory making creations to life.
There are sheets of stickers included so that you can personalise your prints with fun little images. The markers let you write personal messages which is ideal if you are scrapbooking or taking pics at a party etc. Dates and names are always great added to pictures so that in the future you know exactly where and when they were taken!
Each camera comes with a 4GB micro-SD card, 4 rolls of paper, marker pens, stickers and charger cable. The camera took no time at all to charge and I love that it is super simple to do.
The rolls of paper hold hundreds of images and each one is simply torn from the roll after each photograph is taken. The images are clear and a great introduction to anyone into the life of a photographer or memory keeper.
Priced at £59.99 and available from Amazon, Smyths, Very and Argos. The Photo Creator Instant Camera is a must add to any Christmas or Birthday list.
