Appareil photo qui imprime

There are two great joys in photography: clicking the button to capture the scene you've carefully framed, and finally holding your masterpiece in your hands. An instant camera lets you experience these two euphoric moments simultaneously! Beloved by all generations, Kodak's instant cameras are set apart by their impressive functionality and authentic charm.

A camera that prints: two-in-one technology!

Compact and practical, instant cameras have been making a comeback in recent years. Ideal for spontaneous moments, they are prized for their high-quality shots and, of course, for their built-in printers, which offer instant results. One click and your photo is captured, and a few seconds later you are holding the print in your hands. But how do they work?

In a nutshell, Kodak's instant cameras combine the best of two technologies: film and digital. They let you take all the shots you want and print them straight away, with no need to plug into your computer or go to a photo lab. What's not to love? These two-in-one models are a modern version of the instant cameras of yesteryear, with cutting-edge printing powered by Kodak innovations.

Kodak, a historic photography brand, has revisited the instant camera, bringing it up to date for more reliable and high-performance results. Older models contained light-sensitive film (known as integral or instant film) and capsules designed to release the chemical compounds used for printing. Now you can enjoy safer, longer-lasting prints with no ink.

Magical photo printing based on 4PASS technology

4PASS printing is a Kodak innovation. It uses dye sublimation, which means that the integrated printer diffuses heat to superimpose and transfer the different colours onto the paper. As the name suggests, four passes are needed to obtain the final result: one for cyan, one for magenta, one for yellow, and finally a layer of protective varnish.

The remarkable 4PASS technology can actually reproduce no fewer than 16 million shades! In other words, the high-quality prints faithfully represent all the colours captured. Finally, the varnish helps to improve the longevity of each print by protecting them from fingerprints, dust and moisture. Printing in a flash with long-lasting results!

Kodak's instant cameras are truly incredible little devices, with the power to print the image you just captured in a matter of seconds. You can put your creations in an album, in your wallet or on the fridge, hang them up or give them as gifts. Enjoy the fun of photography in complete freedom.

Take beautiful shots that you'll want to keep

An instant camera offers the perfect balance between the immediacy of photography and the joy of development. To make the process even more fun, Kodak has come up with a whole host of features to personalise and embellish your pictures. There is a mirror for selfies, filters to play around with, and a self-timer for the best results.

Rediscover the unique joy of looking back on your pictures for years to come. You can also choose between different print formats, depending on your preferences. The star of our catalogue is undoubtedly the square photo, as popularised by the social network Instagram. This shape is ideal for pretty photo montages, or for filling up an album or scrapbook. Whether you want to celebrate a special event or everyday life, this square format is both fun and practical.

If you prefer the credit card format, Kodak has you covered. This size is perfect for tiny photo albums, montages, and for photos you want to keep in your wallet. It is reminiscent of classic childhood photos, but mini: a cute and charming choice!

Discover Kodak's two-in-one cameras

Go back to basics with an instant camera. Embrace spontaneity and live in the moment by capturing the landscapes, faces and objects around you. Our lightweight, compact models can be slipped into a pocket or bag and come with you on your travels, as well as throughout your everyday life. The 8-photo cartridges allow you to capture some magnificent shots, leaving you time to contemplate, frame and envisage the perfect image.

Although these cameras have fewer features than a compact digital, bridge or SLR model, they still perform very well compared with conventional instant cameras. Classic models are typically made up of a body, a viewfinder, a shutter release, a lens... and that's it! A Kodak instant camera, on the other hand, offers an LCD screen for comfortable framing, a mirror for perfect selfies, a self-timer for photos with family and friends, and iOS and Android-compatible Bluetooth connectivity for ultra-intuitive use.

You can even use the printer in your camera to make prints from your smartphone or tablet. Simply connect via Bluetooth or the Kodak Instant App. The cameras also offer customisation tools: filters, cropping, stickers, etc. You can add the iconic white border, as seen on classic instant photos, and adjust the colours of your image as you wish. Black and white, sepia, aqua, sketch: let your imagination run wild.

Choose your ideal format: credit card (5.3 x 8.6 cm) or square (7.6 x 7.6 cm). Each model prints shots instantly using innovative 4PASS technology. Whether you choose the Mini Shot 2 – C210, the Mini Shot 3 – C300, or the Mini Shot 3 Retro – C300 R, you are sure to enjoy perfect development. All our cameras are ready to use, with an integrated cartridge. Find refills in our catalogue!
