I did originally write a bad review with 1 star as i felt it really awful that the seller does not state weather or not it comes with film which by the way it doesn't , so without film i couldn't test the camera to see if it worked so i emailed about this, wanting an outcome of them writing a small piece of there being no film included , i admit myself i probably didn't sound as nice as i thought i did but the tone of the message i received back i felt was snotty and a bit rude , they had said that if it doesn't say it comes with the film then there's no film and that no one else was confused it was just me. which they were wrong about i looked at this with my friends before me and one other brought this, both of us were expecting it to come with film.but then i eventually got film and tested the camera and thought to myself that this item doesn't deserve such a bad review for small things the seller could/ should of let buyers know about. although i do feel its over priced to come without film as i have sen the camera cheaper with film in other stores. but over all the camera is fantastic, to me its so much better having a physical copy of the picture with no editing or anything you get what comes out i find it exiting to see the picture develop and to see ether its a great picture of not at which i must admit a few of mine were a flop , blurry or out of the picture almost completely but i kept them as they are a memory, they made me laugh alot. it took me forever to decide which one to get between the instax mini 8 or 25 which was one everyone raved about. then i saw the pink and just thought i really love this lets just go for it. it was a birthday treat to myself. i love that its so simple with only a few settings which are light settings, the camera determins which setting it feels you should have it on based on the light around you although you can go with whichever you like. i love that it runs on batteries and not charge it makes it feel more vintage i brought it for fun although i am a photography student this camera is more for taking silly pictures with friends and family just creating memories really. i love the size of the actual picture its about credit card sized so its perfect to fit in my picture compartment in my purse iv even ordered a little album to put them in. the only thing i would say is when taking the picture the view finder is to the right of the actual lens so what you see out of the view finder is not necessarily what will be in the picture, when taking turn the camera to the right a little that way everything is in the image and centered. fantastic camera would definitely buy again , just not from here im afraid somewere that comes with film or is a little cheaper to compensate that
