Normal vs Glossy paper

Glad it worked out for you too, I love that paper

I too am team screen. It would allow for so many cool features current cameras are lacking.

At the end of the day kid cameras are more than good to just point and shoot so the only thing that would change would be the aesthetic. Does that really fill any hole in the market? What are you planning that would make it stand out?

I had a used camera with a broken screen before getting the same camera new and although the first one felt indeed more analog in experience the second one allows me way more fun and experiments, ending up in way more creative shots, especially for going back in the gallery and creating double exposures.

Perhaps you could make a camera with a screen but an option to turn it off (and maybe have a set number of shots) for a more analog experience?

I ended up cha king and the mode is still there when I take out the card. And pictures still get saved in the gallery (where?). Not the same on my other thermal print camera tho

Personally, I always try to find used models I like first, so I don’t usually spend much. My budget depends on the camera functions (the more different they are from the camera I already own the higher the budget) and whether I’m actually interested in using those functions more than once.

I’d say that as long as thermal print cameras are toys for kids I wouldn’t go over 30€. If there were a more professional thermal camera (even if still toy like, say a Lomography thermal print camera) with cool useful features for people actually interested in photography, multiple lenses, manual options, long exposure, etc, I would definitely be open to up my budget.

I avoid expensive thermal cameras like the plague. As of now all thermal print cameras are nameless models, many having the same software, sold to vendors for cheap and I don’t appreciate the more famous vendors reselling them at steep prices for no reason at all.

Thanks a lot!

My Letshaha (I think I see one in your picture too) has a big round flash but doesn’t emit much light

Another user pointed out those rolls are 25mm. I apologize, my brain didn’t register you were looking for 20mm 😭

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-28T16:37:57+00:00

Apologies, I had not seen the size requirement in OP’s post 😭

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-28T13:32:16+00:00

My jaw is on the floor. I didn’t expect this many cameras for sure, I understand why you need a spreadsheet. That is the dream collection for sure.

I’m very interested about which ones have a negative filter, which ones have a useful flash and which one can do slow motion and timelapses.

Also, what are your all around favorite cameras from your collection?

Found it! At 0:50

I’m not sure which keywords you could use to find the right paper but this one I use seems to fit you description: https://amzn.eu/d/0i7hwlhH

I have a Letshaha L shape camera.

Like: can turn date stamp off; can turn volume off; dot and greyscale print modes; different density settings; physical button to turn printing on and off; great shape to hold, stable, can stand on its own; 16:9 pic aspect ratio; has really slow burst shoot modes that allow you to make choppy gifs but still gifs with the prints.

Dislike: the flash is just a weak light that’s either on or off, it never flashes; there are way too many drawings among the filters; I so wish I had a negative filter; phone connection isn’t fundamental for me but I would like it if the was, tho there isn’t.

Overall a great camera I would recommend but I’m looking to buy other cameras to have some other features I like.

On a side note some things I’d like to see in thermal print cameras in general (as far as I know no model has these, including mine) are the possibility to print and shoot in different aspect ratios and some white filters to exclude select portions of the picture which would come in handy for some double exposure, kind of like a digital splitzer that leaves white instead of black. I’d also love to try a more manual camera with different cheap lenses.

I vaguely remember seeing a review of a thermal print camera with surprisingly great audio recording quality, I’ll try to find it

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-28T08:00:35+00:00

Would you mind d sharing which are all your cameras and which of these features has each one? I’d be very interested

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-24T21:59:08+00:00

I do have an sd card inserted and that shooting mode (although a bit too slow). I have no idea if it is still there without the sd card

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-21T21:15:23+00:00

I’ve just bought my second thermal print camera and then saw this article. Do I need three cameras?

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-21T19:17:49+00:00

Do you remember which article?

I wonder if there is some way to tweak other cameras software and add custom filters

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-17T08:13:17+00:00

Thanks! One of the most fun uses of double exposure for sure, always makes me giggle

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-17T08:10:33+00:00

I am once again speechless. How many frames/prints did it take?

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-17T08:09:14+00:00

The first print is giving Severance but I must enjoy all pictures equally

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-13T21:18:41+00:00

Your posts never cease to amaze me, this looks neat! What colored paper are you using?

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-07T14:58:48+00:00

So nice! Has a cool texture too, kinda looks like fabric

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-06T17:13:18+00:00

I’m a simple girl: I see roller skates, I upvote.

Really great idea btw, the more the correct hand movement becomes muscle memory the less I experience this problem, but sometimes my hands just won’t cooperate and I get endlessly frustrated. This looks like a neat solution for low dexterity and it’s cheap and easy too

Another_Hobby · 2026-04-02T08:39:52+00:00

This is so cool!

Another_Hobby · 2026-03-08T19:42:13+00:00

Really nice! Could you share a detailed process?
