KODAK EKTAR H35 Half Frame Film Camera, 35mm, Reusable, Focus-Free, Lightweight, Easy-to-Use (Brown) (Film & AAA Battery are not Included)

Great first film camera & money saver for film pictures
This is my everyday, take everywhere little camera. It takes 72 pictures which is nice because developing film, and film is expensive. I recommend getting your scans in HD so the picture comes out clearer. I do have to turn the flash off and back on after just taking a picture with flash but that’s not a big deal. The battery in the lasts forever even though you should pretty much always use the flash. Mine gets thrown around pretty often so and it’s holding up really well so it’s pretty durable for a plastic camera.

Glorified Disposable
The Camera is not bad but it is not great either. If you’re looking for a reusable disposable camera for a kid or travel. It’s great. I don’t expect this to last very long.Others have left reviews saying that it has “cheap plastic components.”How “light weight” it isWell yeah, it is all plastic.It is a dressed up disposable camera. It serves a purpose.The fact that it’s not a one time use, as well as getting twice as many photos, I would say it is worth the 45$.Bottom line is, if you are looking for a 35 mm old school camera to add to your collection, this is not what you are looking for. It is made of all plastic.

Not worth the retro look.
Ok so qualifications: I’ve spent the past year or so getting into 35mm film cameras and the like and have done lots of research and accumulated many point and shoots (P&Ss) and SLRs. No, I haven’t been in film photography my entire life or since the ’80s but I’d consider myself fairly observant to know that this camera is not worth it.DISCLAIMER: I did not test the camera’s functionality in terms of producing film images. I returned it within the hour I received it based on its build quality alone.THE POSITIVES (or the reversals, pun intended):For starters, I’ll list out my comments so it’s easier to read/skim: – This camera looks nice and the packaging is very sleek. – I love the color of the Sage green and the overall design looks very retro and cool. – It’s also a half frame camera, meaning you get twice as many shots out of a roll of film at the cost of a little less than half the normal resolution. – The flash being powered by a AAA and not some weird proprietary battery is also nice and more user-friendly.THE NEGATIVES (if you even decide to use this camera)To be frank, my name would have to be Frank. But it’s not. But if I were Frank, I would probably consider this camera a piece of garbage for a few reasons: – Did you see the weight? It’s 100 GRAMS. That’s the weight of a small box of paperclips or a half a cup of sugar. I suppose if you dropped it into the ocean it might float but if you drop it on the pavement I imagine it would just shatter (I don’t know this for sure but man is it light). – Yes, weight is not always indicative of quality but in this case it seems Kodak used the cheapest, lightest plastic possible in making this camera. When I unboxed this camera an hour ago, to the right of the viewfinder is a silver scratch that came for free on the camera (2nd picture). Lovely. – The film rewind crank is made of that same cheap plastic. You can see in the 3rd picture that the bottom cap section and the rod inside of the actual camera appear to be bonded from two separate pieces. I’ve read reviews of this rod breaking (or the arm coming off the cap section), rendering the camera useless. Every time I pulled the crank away from the body I was met with a lot of tension and I do not trust the strength of the arm nor the rod to stay intact for a long period of time. – One possible issue I found is that if the film canister isn’t seated at the bottom of the camera body, the film might not be able to rewind. Maybe it’s a personal issue but it seemed like the rod that grabs the film spool wasn’t long enough if the film roll was too high up. You would otherwise have to use a darkroom or changing bag to open the camera back and adjust the film roll. – Many of the P&Ss I have picked up from Facebook marketplace or eBay have usually been on the range of $10-20. This camera DID retail for $49.99 USD as of last night (5/27) with a 9% discount at $44.50, but they’ve since updated the price today to reflect $44.50 without any discount. Pretty sleazy in my opinion.CONCLUSIONS: – This camera is not worth $45. Maybe $15-20 but I suppose its appeal as a “reusable” disposable film camera would pay itself off with two rolls. – I can’t speak to its image quality but the build quality itself leaves a lot to be desired. It feels very fragile and there’s little issues that I encountered having opened it for 10 minutes. – I do not recommend this camera. I recommend you find a nice Canon Sureshot on eBay or some other P&S for $45-50 because I wouldn’t consider this a P&S but a POS.TLDR: overpriced, poor build quality, not worth it.
