Title: Amazing Camera!!!!!
Review: I love this camera! Very easy to carry around. This is my first time shooting with a film camera and I’m so glad I picked the Ektar H35. I used the Kodak Gold film and I’m absolutely obsessseeddd with how the colors came out. Unfortunately I did drop it like a billion times so the flash broke but I haven’t gotten any of those pictures developed. I’d say 100% recommend if you are getting into film. Very fun and easy to shoot with.

Title: This is NOT a professional camera, but it's a great alternative to disposables.
Review: I'm still relatively new to film photography but, I can confidently say that this camera is very nice to have. I personally just wanted a film camera with the quality of disposables, and this is absolutely perfect.BUILD QUALITYNow as you could guess, the camera itself doesn't have a great build quality, it's pretty much plastic, which wasn't an issue for me, but I know could turn off some buyers to it. The leather and the part above it feel nice to the touch though. One small complaint I do have though is that the battery compartment is a bit sensitive and just grazing it could open it. But I solved the issue by slightly changing where I put my left thumb on the camera.FLASHThe flash itself needs a AAA battery and works great. It's very bright and gets the job done for painting the subjects in the dark from about six feet away I'd say. To turn on the flash, you sort of have to spin the border around the lens, there's a spot to grab on to for your nail right at the top, to make it easy. It's also pretty much impossible to turn the flash on and off by accident.LOADING/UNLOADINGLoading the film is very easy on this, as you just pretty much put it in there and wind it up until you hear that first click. SUPER IMPORTANT, when unloading, don't forget to click down the rewind button near the battery compartment before unwinding the film. If it unclicks itself during the process, just press it again then it should stay for sure.VIEWFINDER/EXPOSURE COUNTThe biggest issue that I have with this camera is the exposure count, as it is more difficult to view than other cameras. I'm not sure why they made it that way, but it is what it is. I don't really worry about it as I have 36 exposure rolls I use (which turn to 72) and always have a spare with me. The viewfinder has little meshlike blocks on the left and right sides, to show what will be taken out of the shot.SHOOTING TIPSI got my film back and it is safe to say that this thing performs really well outdoors on a sunny day. I like the softness and the grain on the images I got back. One note that I will add, is to ALWAYS use flash indoors unless there is a good amount of natural sunlight and use flash when it's not sunny outside. Even if it's light out, if it isn't bright, use flash if capturing subjects. I included an example of what it looks like when you shot in low light without flash (I was using a roll of Kodacolor Ultra Max 400).CLOSING REMARKSI think this is an excellent camera for the price and if you want an alternative to disposables. It's really easy to just pass the camera to a friend who is inexperienced with this camera, as it's pretty much wind, point, and shoot.

Title: Fun camera
Review: Update: the flash stopped working about 8 months into having this camera. It still works for outdoor use but I can’t use it in low light or indoors anymore. I probably got about 6 rolls out of the camera before I started having issues. Still a fun camera and a good price point but not as durable as I had hoped. It is made of plastic.___________________________________I’ve been looking into half frames for a while, but I wasn’t sure if I would like them, so I tried this one out before investing in a slr half frame. It’s the perfect camera to take with you on trips or to hang out with friends. I’m not worried about it getting damaged like my professional cameras and it’s pretty sturdy. Obviously it’s a fixed lens (no adjusting the shutter, focal length, or aperture) so it does poorly in low light and it’s garbage indoors but the flash is bright so that compensates a bit. The viewfinder is slightly off center so I’ve had to learn to adjust my framing accordingly after several pictures I thought were symmetrical came out off center. Overall a fun camera to play around for the price point.

Title: The camera works fine, im stupid
Review: I put in a battery and while the red dot does show up, pressing the shutter does absolutely nothing. No flash and no shutter. Sadly going to return.Update: the camera will take pictures if you slap it, so it gains another star for being funny. Still returning.Update 2: so you need to put the film in the camera for the mechanism to work. It's actually working fine and I'm stupid. 5 stars

Review: Boa câmera, melhor que imaginei que seria pra uma point and shoot com lente de plástico. Teve um bom resultado, as fotos anexadas foram tiradas com ela, usei um filme de cinema vencido para testar.O flash é realmente necessário em mts ambientes.O design é bonito e retrô, muito leve por ser inteiramente de plástico, o que também é ruim pois é bastante frágil, temos que ter cuidado redobrado com ela, principalmente ao rebobinar o filme pois o pino é mt fraquinho, sinto vai acabar quebrando.
