I bought my Nikon One Touch new in 1985 and got a lot of use out of it. I still have it, but the frame counter won't reset when the back is opened. Great pictures for sure!
Thanks! Just got this for a quicker + smaller flash alternative. Didn’t make sense to me to pay the same amount of money for a point & shoot as my Nikon FM2 🤷🏽♀️
I just bought one. The only issue i have had is when i loaded fresh film it did not reset the film counter. Not sure if it is a malfunction or I missed a step.
My daughter has been interested in film photography, specifically with a 35mm 'point and shoot' to start. I ordered her an Agfa Optima III S and a Ricoh AF-100 for decent prices. The Agfa's light meter seems to be spent, the Ricoh needs a battery to be ordered... Stopped into an old favorite antique store today where I found a very clean Nikon One Touch marked at $75.00, EEEK? Looked it up and, as you said, they're asking $100.00-$400.00... I brought the camera, a Blondie 45 and a screw-on 2x tele to cash out and dude says "$45.00". Yep. Happy to find your thoughts on this nifty-enough piece and glad it should serve her well :) She's still getting the other cameras lol We all know they like having company ;)
I see that this exact camera has the same deformation of the door as mine. Was worried about the light leakadge, but it seems by the fotos that yours is doing fine. Have not shoot a full roll with it yet. But still its quite strange that 50% cameras of model has this deformation of the closed door in the bottom part (the metal sencor (or what this thing is) is pulling it out).
General Camera question, related to polaroids. In a previous video you mentioned the new polaroid film batteries outlast the 8 pictures it takes. So if i put in a roll of film, take four shots, and put the camera in a drawer for a couple of weeks, when I get back to it will it have drained? Or does it only use power when you want to use it?
Typically on a Polaroid camera if it's closed it acts as an off switch. So it shouldn't drain the battery. Instant Polaroid film does not last long so you should use up the film within 2 months of inserting it into the camera. Sonar auto focus models do draw a lit more power when open. I need to see what the film packs that are 4 years old now and still have power to use for testing cameras.
Such an amazing review, finally one as complete as I needed, thanks and keep the good work, happy shooting!
Same!

It’s crazy how a point and shoot can go for so much like the Olympus mju but that just shows you how much more film means now in our digital age
You are correct that this is the L35AF2. Nikon's marketing team went with "One Touch" for the US market.

Update? Just got mine and mu door has the same deformation. Did yours have light leaks?
That's a great point and shoot, cracking sharp lens.

it only uses power when you use it, I would guess that battery would probably last at least a few years, you'll be fine!
@@DanFinnen Thanks so much
