GEMS Retro Digital Camera

Camera would not charge. Dead as a doornail

Loved it at first, but it stopped charging the second time I used it. Battery died and hasnt turned on since not matter how I try to charge it.

So far it’s been good and good price. Son loves it.

it was really good and easy to use until the second day of having it the button to take photos and look at photos broke and made the camera unusable

Great. Should have read all the reviews before buying. Charging all day and won't hold charge. waste of time

When I got it, it worked it was perfectly fine then I stopped using it for a few weeks and now it doesn’t work even with a charger on it for hours.

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.

Really cute idea and concept, got some cute pictures out of it but the battery only lasts like 45 minutes maximum. That’s from a full charge having it on standby ready to take pictures, not actually recording anything. You get what you pay for

Do not buy this! Haven’t been able to use it since i received it. Does not work!

The item was defective out of the box. The SD card won't click in, the camera won't allow it

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

The camera never charged, tried multiple usbc chargers and different outlets, it never worked.

I charged it, hit all the buttons and it just never turned on. my kiddo likes taking pics so i thought this would be fun and entertaining boy was I wrong. It belongs in the 1/3/5 bin with the poorly made junk they sell at the entrance of local targets.

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.

Love how tiny and compact this camera is! I wish the lanyard was a little higher quality but you really can’t beat the price.

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.

Only used it once and took three photos. After that, all the buttons were stopped working and the camera couldn’t be changed. Never could be turned on again after ran out of battery.

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

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!

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.
