I bought this camera with my own money and fell in love with it on day one. Here's why I think the Kodak Snapic A1 is the film camera that'll sell the most film this year — even if there are thousands of better cameras out there at the same price. This one just does it all.

It's weird how you talk with your teeth

I’ve been shooting large format, medium format, and 35mm for years. I bought this little camera before a trip home to visit family and it’s the only camera I grabbed during the whole trip. Quick, simple, and almost fail proof. Perfect camera for capturing family moments and having on you at all times. I’ll be keeping an eye on future versions with better aperture but for now this is currently my favorite camera.

I bought this and it is super fun to shoot. It is really small and light, which some people might not like, but fun to just throw in a bag or pocket.

I like how you set this video up, wide with vignette indoors...just like the snapic. Genius. No more looking for a good copy of the film Ricoh GR. I'm pickin up 2 Snapics. Cheers!

I think for the price it’s a nice camera to give to someone and introduce them to film. Or get back to film again. 👌🏻

I'm sure not the target market for the A1, but man, I love using this camera and am looking forward to working with it more this year!

I just wish it was f6.3 so the Cheaper and more Beautiful kodak Gold 200 would be better to shoot

This is best camera for those of us who only have the use of only one are/hand.

I'm not a fan of anything Kodak, but after watching this and doing some quick research I see Kodak had nothing to do with it. This would be perfect for photographing events at work, where I sometimes have to hand my camera to someone else. I love 25mm for groups. Thanks for sharing. Great hair BTW.

160 dollars? Did it just went up 60 dollars?

I think this camera is in a strange spot. The lens is not that bright, so it can't really compare with point and shoots like the Olympus mju which has a better lens. At the same time 35 shots per roll might be a bit expensive if you're just shooting casually, so Kodak's half frame H35n might be a more sensible b-roll camera. I think the only reason people should buy this camera is if they like how it looks - just like a Ricoh GR1.
