- Disclaimer : I was not paid to speak about this product. The myFirst Camera Insta 2 is an instant camera designed for kids that uses rolls of cheap thermal paper for its prints.
shop.oaxis.com...
What makes this camera interesting is that it's a thermal paper instant camera.
thermal paper is the same kind of paper that your shopping receipts are made of.
Instant cameras have one thing in common :
you need expensive native photo paper, that only the brand of your camera is selling.( image des Instax et polaroid )
thermal paper rolls are all the same and can cost less than 1 euro and with one roll you can print around 60 photos.
Instax pics cost almost 2 euros an image when one pic printed on thermal paper costs less than 1 cent.
What i really like with this camera if you use the " direct print" button is that you don't check your photo before printing it.
It gave me the same feeling than when I use a polaroid camera... that feeling of not being sure what is going to happen on your final image on paper.
The native lens on the camera is around 50mm but i found a way to get wide-angle shots and macro shot by using blue tack and chepa smartphone lens.
The camera takes 12 MP photos color photos that let say are ... ok for a kid and unusable for anyone else.
Videos are also of a very poor quality.
But it's not a camera to shoot colored pics and share them online, it's a instant camera that let you print your photos on a almost free material.
I think this first version is a great toy for young children, and for me it's a first step in the direction of a high definition black and white instant camera, that prints images fast and for cheap.

There are thermal paper printers like the paperang p2 which should give you more flexibility then this?
Can you play games on them? bc I want it for camp but no games or electronics allowed
This would be neat for relationship milestones. Like if you went to a restaurant for your first date, you could print a pic of you two on the receipt
"Videos are also of a very poor quality." Funny, I remember a time not so long ago, when TH-cam already existed, that those videos would have been impressive. 🤣
Well said!
Instant buy, no more scammy ink cartridges, no more ink expulsion heads getting destroyed over time, no more exclusive paper necessary. Everyone needed this. And this is most definetely one of the top-tier products made in 2020. Grim year, bright community.
With a classic case, this will be instant buy. We need this for forgetful digital age
And have pictures that fade in a year?
Also try looking for those as bluetooth printers, it prints on the same paper but you can print much better photos and they are about 30-40 euro
@@EpicDubstepManiac What printers are those? This interests me greatly!
@@Doologistics there's a Chinese brand name Paperang. The printer is made as a companion tool for school childrens as they can print memos or mathematical graphs and stuff, to help with the learning, but in our case, we just use it to print pictures😂
It use the same thermo-paper.
I came across this video and instantly went to do some web searching 😂😂
Turns out there are multiple brands for such kind of thermo-paper printer. Paperang is just one of the bigger names.
yea.. they need to make it in form of hasselblad... wow! noce idea!! i am going to do it myself!!!
I kinda wanna gather receipts of some stores and then just take pictures of some of the manic buying that happens, or the trash that results from that. Would be kinda aesthetic and deep, heh
That Chewbacca pic at 2:36 is nightmare fuel
looks kinda like my first boyfriend
@@AlliasEllie sounds like a dream boyfriend to me
I love the collage idea !
Doesn't those prints tend to fade over time? I think even if you hide it from sunlight, the image would be gone within couple of years, but in all honesty... I absolutely love this idea.
Yes they fade, but you could lay a few out on a scanner and scan them which is I think what were being shown in the video.
@@filmdigitalvideos So we take a digital photo, we print it, and then we scan them...
🤔
My record is 14 years. The receipt was hidden in a pocket of a jacket I didn't use for 14 years.
Aibecy Peripage sells special paper that should last 10 years (at least). If you want to see how well receipt paper can stand sunshine versus the Peripage paper than click on my channel. I have a little video on there showing the results.
Maybe get printer or other paper and cut it to size 🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲
Yes they can fade pretty fast depending on the quality of the paper, and if that's not bad enough don't ever spill sanitizer or oil onto it.
This is cool. I wish thermal prints lasted longer.
Glad to see the game boy printer! I’m going to have to dig mine out from the closet.
Hell, I might buy this camera!
This sounds like a really fun little camera! But I'm a bit worried about how well the photos will hold up to time. At least the prints on thermal papers I've used barely last a year or two, depending on their quality. Same goes for the paper recites I've gotten in stores. So it doesn't seem like the best camera to use to capture childhood memories since they won't last long. Plus, if it's low quality paper and you touch it on a hot summer day, you'll have a lovely finger shaped blob on your photo.
Thank you for a wonderful video and a super great idea. I think the idea of a inexpensive temporary print is super cool. Whoever said prints HAVE to last forever. Have it, enjoy it, then it fades. Make more. :)
I love the idea of printing onto receipt paper! I think it's a great idea and has me excited like you!
right ??! so many receipt paper is going to the garbage, and could be transformed into art !
Reminds me of the toy pal video camera that saved to cassettes. Get it now, cuz the PXLs are now hundreds of dollars...
We used to print random pictures with receipt paper at my old job. Boss wasn't too happy about it.
lol me too! But the boss never found out!
Wow, so interesting!
I use a Paperang P2 printer with same mechanism but it's just a printer, and work with a smartphone app.
So usefull and full of function, strongly recommend!
If you want to preserve an image you can use a laminator or just simple shipping tape, it’ll add durability and protect the image!
And UV bleaching?
@@StolenBlock Just store it in a dark box or a scrap book away from the sun.
It looks nice coming out of the camera. However how long do those last? Every receipt I have is faded to nothing after awhile.
I think it depends on the paper, but even after a few months it will start to fade. You can make a photocopy though, or scan it.
A friend build a similar camera with a raspberry pi. I think the idea is great, the camera is cheap and as you said the paper is also cheap. A fun experience, but you better protect your pints or scan them, because over time they will fade. I can see people buying this for a wedding book for example...
Yes for a wedding it would be a great cheap way to have fun, and you can print on stickers directly
Mathieu Stern i gotta recommend it to my future clients - as said the fading is my main concern. Try to leave it in the sun for half a day ;)
You can recover faded images by exposing them to heat or to acetone vapor.
Then, the 'unexposed' parts will turn black and you are left with a negative, that could be scanned for example.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Everytime I want to experiment with camera, lenses, I'm looking for kid's cameras, I always find your video about it. Thank you.
Mathieu, this is incredible. Thank you for bringing this product to attention!
How does it last, since thermo paper is easily to decrease its own unique printed?
And as perhaps it's only available monochromatic
i believe most will fade a reasonable amount after about 6 months based on comments on a project that involved placing a reciept printer in a polaroid shell on hackaday by mxtela (i think)
That was my essential question too about this very interesting project. Thanks @Callum Cooper for the answer
Maybe there's a way to get the ink to not bleach?
The way you print with old receipt gave me an idea to use it as multiexpose shot. Thanks
Thermal paper printing tends to fade over time but this would definately make a nice gift for children
Saw one like this on Facebook. It was a little different than this but same idea. Pretty neat idea
With enough playing around with it, you could really create some very interesting content along with some pretty artistic pieces of it was blown up on a canvas
For anyone who's interested in such kind of printer:

It use the same thermo-paper.
Despite it's shortcomings, this is the absolute coolest kids camera I've ever seen. And at $99 it's not as expensive as I thought it would be. When christmas rolls around I'll prob get this for my sister, she would LOVE this. Plus I've only got to buy one thing at CVS to get a 30 pack of "film".
Shit man, nowadays one of these is like 30 bucks on amazon
never new about this cool invention.
Would love a cheaper version that were just a pocket printer 🖨
What a great idea for encouraging kids to get into photography!
Just don't forget to tell them that their masterpieces will fade away rather quickly.
@@snafuet kids like immediate gratification. Tommorow is like next year to them.
Love the idea for a children’s camera.
..apart from the significantly increased exposure to BPA and whatever else it is that coats the paper, during key formative years.
TBH It's the gameboy camera / printer with maybe a slightly higher resolution - I'd expect better given that the core tech is between 20 and 30 years old. It's a gimmick, and a recycled one at that; just buy a cheap printer with a CIS system.
Mind Blown!!
This instant camera is so eco friendly 👍 we love it 😉 when buying you always get a free thermal paper to make your own picture 💪💪💪 that's massive 😎 Mathieu thumbs up, keep growing and see ya at our travel channel 👍👍 you are more than welcome to come by and express your feelings about it 🤩
thanks a lot
Amazing. I need to get this. Even if it's just for collages
you can get different thermal papaers which last more then a year, even sticker or transpaert papaers as well, and some of them have 5-20 years lasting.
My kid has one ans she loves it. I really want one in a camera back type situation.
Finally, a use for CVS receipts!!!!!
I have a question.
It looks you can print any photo from the gallery, isnt't it?
So can you put photos taken with another digital camera in the sdcard and print them on this camera??
Would be cool if they made a portable printer product, so you can have a copy of the image from your digital camera.
Wow! Just WOW!❤
Have you experimented with the SD slot? Are you able to save images to the SD and print them, or will it only print images it takes?
I tried to import images from my comp, but it's not working, it will only print images the camera shot
@@MathieuStern tried to open an original file in PS and replace the content? That's how i fix corrupted 360 pics, just paste them in an copy of an original one
Ah, too good to be true then!
So much potential for art projects.
This is a great idea, It would be awesome if there was a standalone printer you could connect your smartphone to
Hello, which smartphone lens did you get? I am having trouble finding cheap ones like the one you used! Thank you
Like for lubitel 2!
I have lubitel 166V, This is nice soviet camera for vintage.
I like the idea, but not you guys forgot those papers has bisphenol-a...
You can also find bluetooth thermal printers, that can print on sticker paper or other types of thermal paper
Good addition for zine making
nice!
How many dpi is the printer?
I wonder if any thermal paper instant camera for adults has been developed meanwhile
That is super cool
I wonder if you could modify one with a 3d printer to use cctv or 8/16mm camera lenses?
I would love to see that on a fullframe camera
Even Nintendo GB printer needed special paper. Sure it was just thermal paper but it was narrow and had to be their brand. I wonder if every country uses a standard size of receipt paper? It would be annoying if you had to order thermal paper from a specific region that the camera was made for.
Wonder full experement
oh man that videos are not "very bad".. and photos - looks like they have many levels of gray
My camera won’t turn on is there a way to troubleshoot it’s been charging for 3 hrs
There’s no battery compartment
It was so expensive 😩 for the 3 times I used it
Are these suitable for kids due to the bps content ?
How to setting the camera ? The photos are not clear
Hey but will the photos disappear from the paper over time like the receipts do?
If they made one that wasnt a toy for kids id get one
Very cool!
the big problem is that after a while the image will dissapear. Look at some reciept from let's say 4 months ago and you will hardly see something. It is a fun camera but if it doesn't also have a sd card is a waste of money and time even for a kid. Imagine a kid happy that he made a picture to the little kitty and after a year he check it and see nothing... but.. interesting idee.
there is a SD card slot to save the photos, i forgot to put that in the video :)
@@MathieuStern Then it is indeed a fun camera to play with. Thank you for the answer. Good to know! :)
Amazing, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Tu sais si on peut changer l'objectif sur ce genre de trucs?
genre en faisant une commande spéciale chez un opticien par exemple?
Does anyone know about any good quality thermal paper printer that does have an option to print imgaes from phone ?
paperang
This seems to be made for hacking. If you could get a Rasberry Pi to talk to a thermal printer then you could use the new Pi camera though it is not that much better. More interesting would be connecting a "real" camera via hdmi or usb to output to the thermal printer.
I want to buy just the instant photo printer.
Could you shoot a professional film with a modern camera with an 8mm film lense
yes if it's a small sensor like a GH5
Mathieu Stern I am new to this stuff but I am planning on filming a movie named DeadWoods “camp Highpoint” and I really plan on this looking good do you have any suggestions on a good camera that looks cinematic that’s not too expensive? If you know anything. I really would love to learn
Wow, that is pretty expensive for a kids toy. $140 yikes. I'd love to play with one though.
It shows $99.90 is there really $40 in shipping?
they need to make different bodies! something like Hasselblad..
Cool.
Polaroid image of authenticity by electronic mark place and time is the only credible and admissible in court if law while all digital image are not
How much?
I'd get this camera but it's kind of childish. They should make a version for adults.
HD Thermal printer camera for adults.
Now you're talking.
Is it just me or are some other adults also interested in this camera made for 9 year olds?
My pics won't print
Imagine when kids discover that their pictures had fade after a couple of months :/
Not paper, it's plastic with BPA probably. Sorry guys.
This is court admissible evidence while the rest of digital images are not
Now think about colour thermal prints
