Nikon Zoom Touch 400
A review of the Nikon Zoom Touch 400, a truly awful 35mm point-and-shoot camera. Nikon should be ashamed its name is on this thing.

Let’s make a super high-quality camera for this film!” Never mind that Kodak intended this film to be used for family snapshots. Never mind that Kodak had to invent a whole new film technology so that…

Polaroid One600
All I have to say about the Polaroid One600 is meh. Meh meh meh. It’s cumbersome to use and returns so-so results. Meh!
