I love it. I used the polaroid zink previously and had so many problems with the app from day one this hp sprocket gave me no problems setting it up; at all .

My previous Zink printer was the Polaroid ZIP printer.  It was a fine printer that was involved in many fun memories and moments.  However, the connection to a smartphone could be finicky at times and it kind of killed the spontaneity of wanting to get printouts fast while in the moment.  Plus, the app made it quite difficult to predict the color output of the photos.  This Canon camera printer solved all that.  It too can be paired with a smartphone to act as a printer.  However, the app is much better than the Polaroid one.  The other benefit is this can act as a standalone camera/printer.  It has a framing box (both in the front of the camera for selfies and in the viewfinder) so its easier to frame what you want to take a picture of.  It does have LEDs to light up subjects.  I do find the shutter button to be a little too easy to take photos.  A couple times, I accidentally took a photo even when I was just grabbing the camera or giving it to someone.  Battery life is much better than my Polaroid was.  However, I did notice at a party when I wanted to print a bunch of printers, the Canon did require a cooling period sooner than the Polaroid when I was printing a lot of pics (though this may be because the Canon app makes it more convenient to print photos faster while I had to prep photos in the Polaroid app).  White balance can be an issue with using the Canon as a standalone camera with pictures leaning toward being very cool (though to be fair, some of my testing was in an office with bad fluorescent lighting).  So if you want more precise colors, use it as a printer with a smartphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up with my family having a Polaroid camera. This printer makes me feel so nostalgic. I love that I can instantly print pictures from my phone. My 4 and 5 year old also love it. This printer is really easy to set up. All you have to do is download the app. The app is really user friendly and helps to set everything up. I also love that the printer is rechargeable and doesn’t require batteries. When the picture initially prints out, it takes up to 1 minute for the photo to start developing. Once it starts developing it takes about 10 minutes for it to fully develop. I love this printer. It’s the modern version of a Polaroid camera.

I take a lot of photos of people and always try to give my subjects prints, and with the impossibility of polaroid and typical expense of printing, this set is a very good solution. Prints are made swiftly and with near perfect quality. The colors are sometimes a bit off from what is seen on the screen, but there's always some finagling to be done in printing photos.

This is the perfect tool for printing photographs on Instax Wide film. ( I purchased it as a compliment to the Polaroid Lab.). Fuji's color chemistry is, in my opinion, superior to the new Polaroid in terms of sharpness and color fidelity. It is supremely easy to use, with far better software than the PolLab. Each has it's own charms, of course; but for ease of use, software flexibility, and color performance-and net cost per image-I think this product is the best on the market for it's intended purpose.

As colorful, crisp and durable as instant film gets. Way better than what you get from Polaroid. Best deal from B&H is buying the two-pack.
