The Kodak Step Touch suits families who want a pocketable instant printer with a screen to preview shots, though its prints look washed out.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Kodak Step Touch

  • At 100 g it slips into a jacket pocket.
  • The 3.5 in touchscreen makes setting focus quick.
  • Each shot prints on the spot.
  • Bluetooth connectivity is built in.
  • Touch autofocus lets you choose the focus point.
  • Flash is built in for dim indoor shots.

What customers don't like about Kodak Step Touch

  • The optical zoom is fixed at 1 x.
  • Continuous shooting runs at only 3 fps.
  • Manual exposure is missing.
  • The battery cannot be removed or swapped.
  • The waterproof rating is 0 m, so keep it dry.

Verdict

At 100 g, the Kodak Step Touch is easy to carry all day in a jacket pocket. It is an instant camera with a 3.5 in touchscreen, so you tap to set focus rather than hunting for buttons. Each shot can be printed on the spot, and Bluetooth is built in for a quick link to a phone. Touch autofocus lets you pick the point to sharpen. The trade-offs show up when you try to do more. The lens is fixed at 1 x, continuous shooting runs at 3 fps, and manual exposure is missing. The battery cannot be swapped either. It suits someone who wants a light, quick print camera for trips and gatherings, and who does not mind giving up control over exposure.
