"When I stick to the rules below, it does an amazing job of capturing mood and feel, in a way few people can snag with a DSLR, much less a cell phone. Many people may not like it when a street photographer raises the camera and fires, but when the instant photo pops out, they get curious, even happy. The camera's automatic shutter speed system with a single f-stop offers far less exposure flexibility than people have become accustomed to in the digital photo era. Even with the ability the camera offers to lighten the exposure two clicks, darken it one, and turn off the flash, the most likely outcome for large field use or scenes with wide ranges of shadow to light is blown out highlights and fuzzy images. I have gotten away with exposures of ceiling-lit rooms (think a small diner) by turning off the flash and lightening two clicks, but the shutter slows down to the point where I have to factor in quite a bit of motion blur. For exterior work, it's really happiest after sunrise, before sunset, with no or very limited haze or cloud cover, and a scene that's pretty uniformly lit."
"Perhaps it's that you're shooting on actual film, or maybe it's that every shot you take is a one-of-a-kind physical artifact (which is special in today's world of Instagram and Facebook where photos are a dime a dozen.). It's definitely on the high-end of price, especially compared to the other models, but given the relatively high cost of instant film, having a camera that consistently gets the shot you want rather than ones you need to retake is worth every penny."
"The view finder is most likely the worst part of this camera."
"I basically have a dud and no way to get it replaced since it's past the return date. UPDATE: So I contacted Fuji Film's support department and they told me to ship the camera in with a description of the issue and a copy of the purchase order (Amazon order screen)."

"Bought to use with a Fujifilm instant camera at our wedding reception."
"Ruined my daughters guest book because it was based on having these photos."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I wasn't able to connect it in the way I particularly wanted to but I settled with what appears to be the traditional setup, one along the bottom and one along the side of the motherboard which surely illuminates the inside of my case effectively. Other than that, if you're look for an inexpensive source of lighting for your case look no further."
"CON: -The power brick is an ugly white that would show if not placed properly in the case. -The wires from the power switch to the power brick are bright colors that show if not placed properly in the case."
"As others have noted, the light is a pleasing red color when viewed indirectly (reflected off case and components), but is slightly orangey if the tube is directly visible. Velcro provided was VERY sticky, which is great and leaves me confident they will stay in place much better than others that provided foam tape or nothing."
"I got these last night, they arrived pretty quick, seeing as I ordered them three days after a motherboard, paid no shipping on them, and ultra fast shipping on the motherboard and they still beat the motherboard here. I shorted my PSU to turn it on without my motherboard and these babies lit right up, both in full working order, and they look beautiful. I wish the PCI bracket switch was not baby blue as my entire case is black, and my motherboard is black/red, and the lights are red."
"I have them running on my EVGA P2 650w via Molex and when the PC sleeps they go off."
"If you have a full tower case, I would recommend buying 2 of these (4 tube lights & 2 on/off switches). I had purchased 2m led rope lights that did not light up the case adequately. I purchased these tube lights as a brighter solution...much brighter than the led rope lights."
"Let's me check to ensure machine(s) are no on - have this kit on many systems, so makes for quick check."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I gave it 3 stars instead of less because I can see how this would work pretty well for applications where you don't need the audio or barely care about it. I've updated my rating to 4 stars, and suggest that if you have an issue with the audio you consider contacting them for a replacement."
"This is a tiny camera which shoots both photos and videos that it can save onto a micro SD card (not included) or can be used in conjunction with an iOS or Android device in order to take photos or videos or monitor whatever the camera is pointing at continuously through an app. The camera is small and cleanly designed with three buttons controlling functionality - one for power, another for Wi-fi, and another for taking pictures/shooting video. The camera charges via an included USB cable, but it cannot receive continuous power from the cable while shooting video so you can't set it up as a security camera as it will run out of juice after a few hours of recording (and the amount of data you can save will be limited to your SD card's capacity as well). The video is shot through a fish-eye lens and actually looks quite decent for this type of camera. The price point on this camera at the time of this review was about 20% cheaper than it's nearest competitor (a very similar camera in size and functionality made by Polariod)."
"This summer I hope to use it as a dash cam on our boat and catch some of our wild adventures(waterproof is nice)! Overall with a great picture and sound, the cost of this camera is very competitive and puts others in this category in a run for their money."
"This VicTsing® mini lifestyle action camera is so cool and it’s really small. I was provided a free sample of VicTsing mini lifestyle action camera for testing and review and was asked only to give my honest review."

When it came in, I had educated myself enough that I had it assembled and made my 1st decal within 30 minutes, and after a couple of hours I had to make myself stop because I was putting decals on EVERYTHING in my house."
"The quality of the vinyl cuts is excellent and I had no trouble producing highly detailed work which weeded easily. I do my work in Illustrator so I was able to port it to the cut software and put my designs to vinyl easily."
"That being said, I purchased this MH series cutter for hobby work at home, as an entry level cutter, I can't say enough about it, the price is right, and I was truly surprised with the ease of setup, and how quickly I was up and operational. The only con I have with this purchase, is that USCutter requires you to keep the original box the cutter was shipped in, or your warranty is void."
"Once I fix these user errors I am sure this cutter will save me a lot of money."
"Came on time well packed and has been allot of fun so far, if you can create it, the cutter will cut it, well worth the money."
"Good deal, arrived with cracked plastic by controller."
"I am extremely happy with my vinyl cutter."
"Not good for small projects and small cuts."
