Hey girl! I saw you post that you had one of these! Which one do you have and what do you think of it?! I am thinking of asking for one as my next semi-big purchase!! Is it small enough for the purse...well like a big purse cause I gave up cute little ones the day I had a child. LOL! I would love to know what you think of it!
 
Hey, Crystal! Not sure if you were talking about me or another Amanda LOL but thought it might be me since I just posted about one in the 365 thread. I do not have it yet. I am actually ordering it this evening. I have been researching them like crazy and I think I am going with the mini 25. It is supposed to be lighter and smaller than the 7S and I have heard you can switch off the flash on it unlike the 7S. The only thing is that the 7s has all these cool little lens attachments and holga filter kit that you can use with it. I hope they will come out with stuff like that for the 25 but who knows. They also make them in a larger wide format print but I have heard and read the most positive reviews on the 25. Maybe someone who owns one already can chime in on what they have and like. And I think it will fit fine in a larger purse. I have always been a small purse gal but my MIL gave me money for Christmas and I just bought the pleated Vera tote today so I would have something to carry around my camera and ipad. I am not used to big purses but excited to be able to have all my stuff together in one bag instead of all over the place.
 
I was talking to you hahaha! Does the other amanda have one too?! I would love if someone else chimed in here to let us know what they think? I know Ali Edwards has one and really likes it, but obviously I don't talk to her to ask her anything hahaha!!! Thanks for the info! i really want one of these! they look so cool and handy!

on another note..I LOVE my big bags!!! I love having like everything with me! I used to love my cute little things, but goodness I would never change back now! :D
 
Lol, I was going to ask about this too. I'm soooooo close to getting one. It seems perfect for this!
 
you know, i feel so torn on these cameras. i LOVE the look of the little photos, but it just seems SO expensive per photo. i think i'm just too much of a penny pincher to break down and get one.

This is me exactly! Plus I like to edit/crop anyway so it's better for me to just use my digital camera.
 
i'm going to put one of these on my wish-list - they look soooo fun ... but right now i need to pinch my pennies :) maybe i'll get one for my birthday :)
 
I think I may ask for one for my bday in July but until then I'll be a faker. And if the faking goes well I may just forgo the real deal..though goodness they are so cool.
 
We *had* one last February/March for about a month, the cheapy mini 7. The teenager was horsing around, dropped it face down on the tile floor and smashed the front to bits. :(
Kelly has one that she uses a fair amount...can't remember which one.

I am still debating on whether I want to buy another one since I have my iphone now. If I could get the faker prints to work, I think I would go with that instead. LOL
 
Gotcha. The only thing with the faker prints to me is do they have that polaroid look? To me that is the whole reason to have one of those cool little cameras. It's not so much about the size to me, although I think they are cute, but more about the look of film which to me is hard to reproduce.

OK, maybe it's my math skills...but I really don't get step 2! Is she really printing a 16 x 24??

She's making a 16x24 canvas and printing it on a 4"x6". So she gets two 4"x3" photos. I think it was just convenient for her to do the 16x24 file because she didn't need to resize her photos.
