Related: About this forumI'm having a crazy amount of fun with a $35 toy instant camera that prints on B&W thermal receipt paper.
Thermal receipt paper is cheap.
The camera also saves the native 8 MP color images to a micro SD card. The quality is about what you find on inexpensive cell phones.
I can make 4X6 inch color prints from those on my Canon G3260 for about five cents each.
I sill like to play with my Polaroid and Fuji instant cameras but those are expensive hobbies.

        It spits out the picture in the same place too.

        Maybe I'll go on a walkabout and take some photos of common objects.
It'd be good for me.
