As well as being able to achieve credit card-sized prints of whatever is in front of the wide-angle lens, we further get the ability to insert a microSD card to save our five-megapixel sensor-derived pictures digitally for posterity.

While there are devices now available that add rear plate LCD screens and various in-camera editing options to provide users with an experience somewhere between an analog and a digital camera, the Kodak Printomatic Instant Print Digital Camera is pretty much as basic as we can get.An Apple user for almost 20 years, he spends his time learning the ins and outs of iOS and macOS, always finding ways of getting the most out of his iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. Digital Camera World is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. Like similar entry-level instant print camera options from rivals Canon, Fujifilm, Lomography and Polaroid, the operation on this Kodak is 'auto everything' all the way: automatic focus and automatic printing.
