The camera has a smart sensor that will activate the flash as soon as it detects low light environment.
Affordable price
Kodak Printomatic costs only $70, so it is one of the more affordable instant print cameras you can purchase at the moment. It is a competitive price that will definitely drive more people to purchase Printomatic, especially if they don’t own a similar camera.

Cons Of Kodak Printomatic
Kodak Zink photo paper
Users who love standard instant prints will not be thrilled to find out that Printomatic works with Kodak Zink photo paper. Zink indicates that the paper has zero ink, so there are no cartridges involved. There are many upsides to Zink photo paper such as the fact that the prints are tear-resistant, but it simply isn’t the standard instant film.
The lack of color options
While the design is incredibly simple and playful, Kodak Printomatic is available in only two colors – yellow and grey. The color scheme fits the brand, but this might be a deal breaker for some people. Printomatic is a new addition to the Kodak line of products, so they might actually expand the color options in the future.
Conclusion
Kodak Printomatic stands out from the competition because it is a budget-friendly instant film camera that effortlessly combines old and new technologies. The images are printed on tear and water-resistant Zinc photo paper, and they are 2×3 inches in size. The camera will arrive with a USB cable, a 10-pack of Zinc photo paper, a start guide, and a microSD card. So if you love taking random snapshots of your daily adventures and want to try something different, Kodak Printomatic will provide you with beautiful photos that will last forever.
