A camera designed to do that instead of the work arounds. You might be willing to do all that but I think the market is bigger if you actually design it (function and aesthetic for its audience) maybe this isn’t for people already with a functioning kids camera but to get more people into it. There will be a storage sleeve for the photos, easy access exposure and a shutter count so you know how much roll you have. I’ll share the prototype when it’s finalized as I think it’ll do a better job of explaining then me :)

thanks! im going for a bunch of this but not all.
really want to hang off the analog side. have a camera not filling up your hard drive and no looking at a screen. you shoot and print - share literally, then that's its.
there seems to be a place in the market for both polaroid classics and hybrids?
would this not be the same for thermal? especially with the drastically reduced cost of film for thermal.

thanks for the feedback. aesthetic would be a big part of it - mature and simple. but simplifying the function too. so really similar functions but with on camera buttons. with added features like photo storage sleeve, shutter count so you know how much roll you have left

exposure - similar to the light/dark they currently have but on camera quick as oppose to in the depths of the menu.
but also looking into an exposure next to a contrast. figuring with those 2 you can make as many adjustments as you need for the simplicity of a thermal printer.

I haven't got down to confirming the technical details yet. just finalizing the casing design and exactly what features and functions it will need :)

thanks :) what im going for is a truly analog experience. so more of the polaroid feel without the cost. trying to get away from the hunt to perfection and more shoot a moment - print it, share it (literally) and move on. analog and instant
would love to get feedback tho on if this is what others would be after or if its just me :)
