GEMS Retro Digital Camera - Light Blue: Point-And-Shoot, 3 Megapixels, USB-C Connection

Not working at all
I'm actually so mad. I bought this little camera thinking it'd be so cute to use, but the thing won't even charge. Even using the cord that came with the camera, it doesn't charge. I plug it in for hours at a time, and the little red indicator light only stays on for about 3 minutes before the light turns off. Even after leaving it "charging" for 4+ hours it doesn't work. If I could give zero stars I would. I even bought a microSD card for it too, but if I can't get it to turn on what's the point. This stupid thing cost more than the SD card I bought. I want a refund so bad.

misleading
the camera has a (fake) flash but when using it you have to deal with whatever lighting you have and most photos look dark.

Packaged with weong cable.
Includes the wrong cable. The camera REQUIRES a USB-C. That’s literally the only thing that will fit it. BUT it comes packaged with a different plug altogether, which doesn’t fit it. Good luck if your kid opens this up at camp.

I wanted to love it...
Oh how I wanted to love this little camera. It was compact, cute, and had so many awesome functions. I know the "in" look is old but the quality of these pictures when you download them is so incredibly poor. For perspective, the first picture is using an old Sony Cybershot 6.0 MP camera. The second picture is a picture taken off of GEMS. As cute, small, and portable as it is, save your time and money and invest in a different camera.

Not bad, but dont take it seriously
The camera is obviously quite small, about as small as a credit card and the camera does well for it’s 15 dollar price tag, it takes a good amount of photos, it can most definitely be a toy for kids but if you want something better? Use your phone

Perfect kids’ camera!
My kids got this camera for Easter while we were on vacation and it was the perfect gift! They loved taking pictures and videos of whatever they liked. It comes with a strap so they can put it around their neck when they aren’t using it, so it doesn’t get broken. I also liked that they weren’t constantly asking for my phone to take their photos/videos. I have not attempted to print any pictures yet, but did buy a memory card. Such a fun gift for any kids!

Cute retro toy
My three year old daughter enjoyed using this, even though she’s never seen a real point and shoot camera that this is based on. She likes taking pictures of her stuffies, and I like that she no longer has to use my phone. It is tough enough to withstand her use, and the strap allows her to carry it on her neck. Definitely used as a toy, as the quality I’m seeing on the display doesn’t make me think it’s worthwhile to buy a memory card required for saving and transferring (only using the internal memory currently). There are cute little “filters” and frames for the shots that were a nice touch.

Awesome!
This digital camera is so cute! I absolutely love that it’s rechargeable, batteries are such a hassle! I can’t wait to put this in my purse and bring on trips so I can take photos with it but also my 7 year old could easily use it so we can see things from his point of view

Kid-Friendly Camera with Cool Features and a Few Flaws
This is a nice little camera. I’d say it’s great for teens and younger kids, though it’s a bit fragile. My daughter took it on her 8th grade college tour trip and it did the job. Pros: It’s functional, the screen is nice, it has both front and back cameras, comes with pre-installed filters, the video recorder is actually nice and much better than the photos (1080P), it’s rechargeable, and it comes in different colors. Cons: The picture quality isn’t great (only 3 MP). It can take about 100 photos without a memory card, but I couldn’t download those pictures from the camera. It also doesn’t connect to my iPhone. It would be nice to transfer photos directly to my phone, but that’s not a huge issue. Overall: I would recommend this camera. It’s a fun, budget-friendly option and would make a great gift. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to buy a microSD card to record videos or download pictures—you can’t record without one. Honestly, you get what you pay for.

digital camera with retro vibe
Retro design modern digital camera. It does have a SMALL amount of memory, but really it requires a memory card for full functionality. The quality of photos with this camera is lower than most phones these days, so this might be best suited for someone that doesn't want to use their phone (or doesn't have one) to take photos and record videos. Definitely not for someone wanting professional photography. Also annoying that you have to get a memory card if you want to really use it.
