Superb camera

Amazing camera, photos are superb in quality and I love the fact it gives a nostalgic feel to taking photos again!

Simple to use, lightweight and easy to pop into your bag. My favourite filter is the mono. I also think that the fact you can change the snap face to suit your outfit/vibe is a unique touch.

Hi Elisabeth,

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying the nostalgic vibe and the simplicity of the camera — that’s exactly what Retro Snap is all about.

Great choice with the mono filter too — it’s a classic! And we love that you’re styling your Snap Face to match your vibe. That personal touch is what makes every Retro Snap unique.

Thanks again for the support and kind words 💫📸

A perfect mix of nostalgia and fun!

This retro snap camera exceeded my expectations! I love its vintage look that brings back memories, yet it’s so easy to use that even my child can take great photos with it. The image quality is surprisingly good for this price range, especially in daylight.

What I love most is the feeling of “waiting” for the photos to develop – it brings back the charm of the old days when every shot counted. It’s perfect for birthdays, trips, or just casual fun with friends. A true hit across all generations! Highly recommended for anyone looking for something unique and playful.

I love my retrosnap camera

I love my retrosnap camera! I take it everywhere I go, it is a fun point and shoot camera that offers various filters ranging from standard to retro to monochrome and more. I have had nothing but a wonderful experience with the company they always reach out quickly and shipping was fast too! Nothing is ever a bother for them! I originally had an issue with my viewfinder but the company has reached out and offered to send me their brand new updated V2 camera!!! Bloody brilliant! Thanks again Retrosnap.

Hi Paul,

What an amazing review — thank you! We’re so chuffed to hear how much you’re enjoying your Retro Snap camera and that it’s become your go-to companion. It’s great to know you’ve had a smooth experience with us (even with that little hiccup on the viewfinder), and we're glad we could sort it quickly with a V2 upgrade.

Your kind words mean the world to our team — honestly, this is why we do what we do. Happy snapping, and don’t forget to show us your favourites!

Cheers,

Unlikely surprise

It took a really long time to receive the camera which made me doubt my purchase but the few pictures I have taken has made up for it.

Hi Natalie,

Thanks so much for your honest feedback, and we're really sorry to hear the camera took longer than expected to arrive. That’s not the experience we aim to deliver, and we truly appreciate your patience.

That said, we're so glad to hear the pictures you've taken have made up for the wait — that's what it's all about in the end. If there’s anything we can do to make the rest of your Retro Snap experience even better, just let us know.

Thanks again for giving us a shot,

I wouldn't buy from here

It sounds like a really great concept, this camera I mean, but I would buy it elsewhere if I were you. I was one of the first to order back in September 2024, and I still have not received a camera. I have contacted them multiple times, but their customer service is terrible. They either reply very late or not at all. They promise to do better and send another camera, but then they leave you in the dark. I do not recommend this business at all. Keep your money in your pocket if you know what is good for you.

Dear Retro Snapper,

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience—this is absolutely not the standard of service we strive for. We recognise we've fallen short, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration and disappointment caused.

Your order experience reflects important lessons we've learned from the V1 launch, where we admit we made missteps in both communication and timely delivery. We deeply regret leaving you feeling unheard and let down.

We would greatly appreciate an opportunity to resolve this and make things right. Please reach out to us directly at support@retrosnapcameras.com—we’re committed to sorting this out urgently.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us grow, and we promise to keep working tirelessly to regain your trust.

Ordered a pre-release camera

Ordered a pre-release camera, for my son’s Christmas present. Stated shipping 20th November. I had my suspicions that it was a scam but went ahead anyway…should have trusted my instincts as date came and went. I asked for a refund and was amazed to get one! If this company isn’t a scam then their communication is shocking! I haven’t heard of a single person who has received the camera to date.

Dear Retro Snapper,

We’re truly sorry we let you down—especially given that this was intended as a Christmas present for your son. We fully acknowledge that our communication around the initial V1 release was inadequate, leading to understandable suspicion and disappointment.

Your experience does not represent the values we hold as a company, and we deeply regret causing you this frustration. We're relieved to hear you received your refund promptly, but we understand this doesn't make up for the disappointment caused.

Please know we've learned critical lessons from this experience and have since made substantial improvements in both our product and customer communication.

We’d welcome the chance to rebuild your trust in the future. If there's anything further we can do for you, please reach out directly at support@retrosnapcameras.com.

With sincere apologies,
Team Retro Snap Cameras
