Ilford Sprite 35-II Reusable Camera - Black & Silver
The Ilford Sprite 35-II a fun and affordable way to jump into analogue photography! There are plenty of good reasons why some love the authentic look and feel of film-generated photographs; there’s also the discipline of having only 24 or 36 exposures to work with, and the anticipation of having a roll developed. Then there’s the desire to slow down from the relentless pace of digital technology and instant gratification Back in the 1960s, few cameras were easier to use and more affordable than the Sprite 35. Forget shutter speeds, aperture, or light meters – just load a roll of film, hit the shutter button, and press the film lever. It was an attractive camera for people who wanted to capture a few snaps without fussing about the right settings. The Ilford Sprite 35-II Black & Silver continues that heritage and will meet the needs of people experimenting with 35mm film and looking for a camera that’s no frills, simple. It’s a step up from disposable cameras, and being re-usable, it won’t create extra waste. The camera has a fixed shutter speed (1/120s) with a 31mm, single element f9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens, perfect for capturing most well-focused daylight scenes, and also features a built-in flash with a 15-second recycle time for night time shooting. Users can load the Sprite 35-II with their favorite film, whether its colour negative or black and white, allowing them to capture quick snapshots or moody monochrome scenes. The camera has a manual film advance winding lever to move through each exposure and rewind the roll when the film is finished.

I should have known that with this low price, the camera would be low quality too. I've tried to shoot two rolls of film in this camera, both times each roll got jammed half way through. The flash worked maybe five times, but has not worked in a few months. I haven't developed either rolls of film so I'm unsure of the finished quality but I'm pretty bummed that not all the frames in these rolls were used. Waste of film and money... If you are on the fence about purchasing this camera I would recommend looking into a different product.

Camera's design is really bad. Winding and unwinding the film actually hurts your fingers. When you get past 24 shots the camera locks up. I actually ended up breaking mine because it wouldn't go past 27. The lens seems to block light. Unless you're in a well lit area, even with the flash, you'll get really dark photos. The vignetting is extreme. For the price I'd rather get a pack of Fuji disposable cameras. Have gotten better results with those. Ilford needs to try again with this design.

I purchased this camera primarily because of Moment’s video review on YouTube hoping for a low-end film camera that filled my want of disposable-like photos without the significant plastic waste. I do digital wedding photos professionally, so I was looking for something to simplify the memory collection process. Given that premise, I was not expecting anything super high quality because you get what you pay for, but here’s what I’ve found with this camera:1) The film scans are actually not half bad and totally live up to what I expected given…Nothing extremely high quality, some imperfections, grain, a bit of distortion, funky lens flares, decent color, little-to-no compression. These things are totally fine and live up to the messaging around this camera.2) The ... MoreI purchased this camera primarily because of Moment’s video review on YouTube hoping for a low-end film camera that filled my want of disposable-like photos without the significant plastic waste.

With so few buttons and functions, there are only so many things one can do incorrectly, right?3) It only survived one roll of film. Yep, you read that right. I loaded my second roll of film, filled the roll with exposures, and when I went to remove it, the release button on the bottom of the camera refused to function properly. After a rough film retrieval process and a now-non-functional camera, the film was back in its canister; however, the roll came back from the shop completely blank. Not sure why.Could it be user error? Sure — but I followed the same process that I used for my first experimental roll and the camera malfunctioned as described above. I know how to take care of cameras and I treated it gently, yet it still malfunctioned after shooting my second roll.Oh well…I guess I’ll be looking into a replacement that’s a bit higher quality now that I have rolls of film lying around that need to be used.

I'm sure you can read between the lines with my title. This is a rad little plastic camera and I took it on a trip back home to New England (with some instant film) in place of my pro setup. I am so so so happy with that choice. I just got back my film and they have that great disposable camera lo-fi look, complemented perfectly by some good ol' Kodak gold 200. Heres the thing. The winder is a pain, I knew that going in. Film isn't the most secure, and slips sometimes, though I haven't gotten any weird exposures back. But the film door is tight, the camera feels nice in the hands and most importantly, you can jury-rig a faster lens by leaving the battery out and turning "on" the flash. Let me explain; The flash switch, when you look into the lens, brings it from ... MoreI'm sure you can read between the lines with my title.

Film isn't the most secure, and slips sometimes, though I haven't gotten any weird exposures back. But the film door is tight, the camera feels nice in the hands and most importantly, you can jury-rig a faster lens by leaving the battery out and turning "on" the flash. Let me explain; The flash switch, when you look into the lens, brings it from that F9 to what I'm guessing is somewhere around an f/6 or 7. It's like there are two holes punched out of one plastic plate, one of them being the non-flash, and the other being the flash. Nothing was overexposed, even when I accidentally left it more open. That likely could have been because of the seasonally cloudy/rainy summer weather on the Cape, but either way I was stoked. Now the big problem... This is a plastic camera and feels as such. That little flash switch on the front? Stays nicely locked in "off". On the flip side, its loose and easy to knock partially closed when flash is "on". There is a portion of that "plate" somewhere in the middle where pretty much no light gets in. When I noticed after I snapped some off the cuff shots on a bike ride that it was partially closed I was terrified. Thankfully there was only heavy vignetting on the shots with that error, but maybe next time I won't be so lucky. I definitely stretched this little cameras limits, and despite some very tolerable drawbacks I was able to get some lovely shots out of it.
I have taken some photos I'm really proud of with this camera, and its size and simplicity make it great for travel and for taking pictures of your friends at social gatherings. It's my first film camera and has been a great tool for teaching me the basics of film photography.BUT my biggest issue is that after about three months the flash has all but completely stopped working. At this point, I'm looking to upgrade to a more advanced film camera anyway, but the reason I'm compelled to keep this one is primarily taking pictures of my friends in social gatherings with low lighting. The flash works once every 8 or so times, and I'm going to take the camera apart to see if I can try and repair the issue, but it's disappointing that this feature has stopped ... MoreI have taken some photos I'm really proud of with this camera, and its size and simplicity make it great for travel and for taking pictures of your friends at social gatherings.

It's a very cheap camera and with that comes a lack of durability. It's basically a $35 trial period to see if you like shooting on film.
I wanted so bad to love this camera, but unfortunately after a couple of failures, I'm pretty bummed it did not work out for me. The simplicity of the design, as well as its practicality, make this camera easy to use and overall a really reasonable product within the reusable camera market. All of these features can easily make it a worthy go-to camera, perfect for almost any scenario and especially great for beginners or people who just want to shoot film for fun. Like I said, I wanted to love this camera, but after two separate tries, both resulted in problems with my film. My first time using this camera resulted in failure after trying to get my first roll of film developed, I got word back that it was completely empty. The second time around, the roll got stuck ... MoreI wanted so bad to love this camera, but unfortunately after a couple of failures, I'm pretty bummed it did not work out for me.

My first time using this camera resulted in failure after trying to get my first roll of film developed, I got word back that it was completely empty. The second time around, the roll got stuck about halfway through its use and the camera itself is no longer allowing me to advance the film forward. Rookie mistakes happen when it comes to setting up canisters, but after a decent amount of research and bit of practice over the years, I'm positive that I set up the film correctly in the spool beforehand. In my case, this all may have just been bad luck. I had super high hopes for this camera and I don't want to knock down the great features it offers, but at the end of the day it, it's hard for me to say this is a reliable product. I don't want to give up on this camera, but I currently don't have the patience to risk losing out on another roll of film.
This camera is so lightweight, easy to use and has everything you need if you are just getting into film. There are tons of great YouTube videos out there about how to set up this camera, but the instructions that came with it were very easy to follow. I chose to go with the Ilford 400 B&W film for this camera just to test it out. I havent used it up quite yet, but the photo taking process has been great. It still has the same feel of a disposable camera which I love, but you get the easy access to add more film and use it over and over again. It only takes one battery which is nice and keeps the feel of the camera light. The colors are beautiful in person and I may even get a second one with different color ways, and keep color film in it. Can't have too many film ... MoreThis camera is so lightweight, easy to use and has everything you need if you are just getting into film.

So I initially got this camera because I wanted to switch over from disposables to something reusable. Was definitely not expecting this to be the quality of a McDonald’s kids meal toy. Sure it is lightweight but it just feels and looks cheap.Not only that but it works terribly. Halfway through my first roll, it jammed completely and after surrendering my film to the light (pain.) so that I could fix it, I wasn’t able to get it to work again. $40 + $10 in film down the drain. Save your money and invest in something higher quality. I lost some really good shots because of this piece of junk.
in the short time i have owned this camera, which was already delayed because of the 2 and a half month long shipping pause, i can comfortably and confidently say that this camera is a waste of money and a pathetic excuse for something that was supposed to a cheaper alternative to benefit the environment.the build quality of the camera is worse than the disposables i will pick up at gas stations. the cheap plastic that makes up the entire body (including the lense and every analog part) feels like it will shatter at the slightest touch. there have been several times where i have just picked the camera up off of a stationary countertop and had the picture counter reset and the film compartment pop open, meaning the film was ruined just by touching the camera. the ... Morein the short time i have owned this camera, which was already delayed because of the 2 and a half month long shipping pause, i can comfortably and confidently say that this camera is a waste of money and a pathetic excuse for something that was supposed to a cheaper alternative to benefit the environment.the build quality of the camera is worse than the disposables i will pick up at gas stations. the cheap plastic that makes up the entire body (including the lense and every analog part) feels like it will shatter at the slightest touch. there have been several times where i have just picked the camera up off of a stationary countertop and had the picture counter reset and the film compartment pop open, meaning the film was ruined just by touching the camera. the action to progress the film within the camera has to either have come broken on mine or is just built to not function as i had to use both hands and quite a lot of force just to be able to unreliably take another picturewhile i have yet to actually develop any film taken on this camera, my hopes are absolutely barren. it has torn up several film rolls that ive tried to roll back up for development and wouldnt surprise me at all if every single roll had been double exposed, over exposed, or not even exposed at all.after 3 months of waiting, $40 gone from my wallet, and countless captured memories lost forever;i have no issue saying that this is the worst camera i have ever used, even for the quality and market it is being pushed at…this thing is a piece of trash, one star is far too many stars for such a literal waste of matter
I have high hopes for this camera. I have another 35mm film camera but it didnt have flash so I didnt find myself being able to use it alot- pretty much just outdoors in the summer. So in buying this im hoping to be able to use film a little more. Its a cheaper camera, so it feels cheap. I have a hard time opening the back to put the film in, I have to use something to open it up. Other than that, seems to be working well so far. I have not developed a roll of film yet with it but crossing my fingers it works!
