CorexHalf Frame Reusable 35mm Camera CH1, Built in Flash and Compatible with 35mm Color Negative or B&W Film (Film and Battery NOT Included) (Tutu Pink) Limited Edition Free Blue and Yellow Filters

I must admit I am a sucker for cheap film cameras and this has not disappointed yet. I want to thank the previous soul who posted photos taken with the camera, as I have yet to run a roll through it. I am convinced by the provided photos, that I am going to like this camera.For a plasic camera, it seems well made and the flash is relaively bright. The camera arrived in a nifty storage box with a blue and yellow filter, zero instructions included but I will wing it. BTW, Corex offers a set of 6 color filters which can be found on Amazon for cheap. I will keep the yellow filter on most of the time as I plan to shoot mostly Black & White film, the filter will protect the lens, too. My guess is the lens is plastic so there be softness to the photos and other film oddities near the edges of the frame. No doubt there will be lens flare from the sun or any other bright light source, but that is what makes film fun. The camera comes with a white wrist strap attached and includes a lanyard type strap (grey) and a wiping cloth.I am excited to experiment with half frame. Before it would seem to be a chore to shoot 48 or 72 frames, but now I consider the artistic possibilities: diptychs, triptychs, inversion, close up/ distance, urban landscape vs. rural, street photography, simple snapshots or portraiture, on and on. Not to mention experimenting with filters on different film types and subject matter from exciting to mudane.I am not crazy about the Vegas Gold metal(?). As another review states it is closer to rose gold, maybe it will grow on me with a little patina.All in all, I think it is a fine point & shoot for young and old of all experience levels. With some care this cheap plastic camera could be passed down to your kids or grandchildren, like some of the cameras I aquired. Film is fun, a little expensive, but there are worse ways to spend money. Film is magic, and chemistry and wonderful things, and digital is blah, complicated, and straight from the center of Hell. Not to mention your digital camera is obsolete before you can get it home. None of my cameras are obsolete, although there was a good chance the 110 format would die. I adore 110 photos. Enough ranting.I would not hesitate to gift one of these Corex cameras to anyone who would appreciate a plastic fantastic. Are the better cameras out there? Yes, but the best camera out there, just so happens to the the one you have with you (even the one on your phone) and billions of memories, fleeting moments of time, have been captured on far inferior cameras than the Corex Half Frame. Get one. Viva film photography!

It's actually pretty good for a mostly plastic film camera. I expected it to feel a little heavier because of the metal on the front but it is very lightweight. When I put the film in, it was a little tricky because it didn't want to wrap around the winding spindle but other than that I'm happy with it and it's very easy to use. This camera will just be one I can throw in my bag for quick adventures. The flash is superb for what it is. I wouldn't say the build quality is that much better than disposable cameras but for $30 it's a great reusable entry level film camera and it will end up saving you more money in the long run!

Great little camera. This is a fun little camera, you get so many photos on a roll you can shoot like it is digital. This is a simple one lens camera, you will not get tack sharp photos. Remember to only shoot in good light. Don't get too close or you will get blurry pictures. I shoot two consecutive pictures one of whole scene and one of a closeup of something in first picture. Remember it is all plastic so be careful with it. Do not force anything or you will likely break something. This review based on one roll of film.

I love this camera i take it with me everyware. Every one should have this little camers.

Might be a basic camera to those who already know how to operate a 35mm. This came with 0 instructions and the website it links to in the box is simply a product page with again - 0 instructions. Had the hardest time loading/unloading the film into the camera. Pretty sure my photos are shot after struggling to unwind the film. Tried to start on the cheaper side being new to film photography but ended up purchasing the name brand anyway.
