Cute! Already bought way too much for Princess but maybe will get this now. While on sale for her birthday mid January. Is the photo paper very pricey//
It's not
too bad.
B&H has 20 exposures for $15. Not sure who else has it at what prices.
What's really nice about the printer rather than the camera is that you have the ability to cull the images and only print what you want to print.
What's also nice is that if you have a picture that you want to give to multiple people, you can print the same picture out over and over without having to keep taking the same picture. So, for example, I printed a picture that I took with my camera, transferred the image to my phone, then printed out 4 copies to give to family.
So, say your daughter takes a selfie with a friend, she can print out the picture for herself and her friend without having to take two pictures.
It's also very portable.
The only negative is that it takes some of the fun out of taking a picture and the surprise of seeing what the image looks like, but that, at least for us, is far outweighed by the positives.
