Q: How do you suggest transferring pictures that are stored locally on the camera with a Mac? I have tried multiple cables with adapters and cannot seem to connect to the camera

submitted by cwilkers - 29 days ago

  • A: Hi cwilkers, thanks for reaching out about the GEMS Retro Digital Camera USB Cable Connect the Camera to Your Mac: Use the USB-C charging/data cable that came with the camera. Plug one end into the camera and the other end into an available USB-C port on your Mac. If your Mac only has USB-A ports (older models) and your camera's cable is USB-C on both ends, you might need a USB-C to USB-A adapter. If the cable provided with the camera is USB-C to USB-A, then you're all set if your Mac has USB-A ports. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day between 7 am and 11 pm CST.

Q: Hi, the camera is stuck on the menu screen. I try selecting the camera or video but it doesn't work. How do I reset it?

submitted by TN - 1 month ago

  • A: Hi TN, thanks for reaching out about the GEMS Retro Digital Camera 1. Power Cycle (The simplest reset):Turn it off: Remove the battery: Reinsert the battery: Turn it on: 2.

If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day between 7 am and 11 pm CST.

Q: How good is the quality on the camera??

submitted by Maddie - 1 month ago

Poor battery life

2 out of 5 stars
Maddie - 15 days ago, Verified purchaser
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

Hi Maddie, thanks for leaving a review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the look and concept of the camera, even if the battery life didn’t quite meet expectations.

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.

Ella - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
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.
1 reply from CHUG, Inc. / GEMS team - 2 months ago
Hello! Thank you for reviewing our product. It sounds like the plastic covering over the battery leads might be the issue. Please open the battery door, remove the battery, take off the plastic shield covering the leads, and replace the battery. Then, charge it with the cable, and it should work once the battery is charged. Please feel free to reach out to Target Guest Services at guest.service@target.com for further assistance.

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!

Cute retro toy

4 out of 5 stars
Orinjuse - 3 months ago
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.

Kid-Friendly Camera with Cool Features and a Few Flaws

Skydiver22 - 3 months ago
This is a nice little camera. I’d say it’s great for teens and younger kids, though it’s a bit fragile. My daughter took it on her 8th grade college tour trip and it did the job. Pros: It’s functional, the screen is nice, it has both front and back cameras, comes with pre-installed filters, the video recorder is actually nice and much better than the photos (1080P), it’s rechargeable, and it comes in different colors. Cons: The picture quality isn’t great (only 3 MP). It can take about 100 photos without a memory card, but I couldn’t download those pictures from the camera. It also doesn’t connect to my iPhone. It would be nice to transfer photos directly to my phone, but that’s not a huge issue. Overall: I would recommend this camera. It’s a fun, budget-friendly option and would make a great gift. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to buy a microSD card to record videos or download pictures—you can’t record without one. Honestly, you get what you pay for.

ajspan - 3 months ago
Retro design modern digital camera. It does have a SMALL amount of memory, but really it requires a memory card for full functionality. The quality of photos with this camera is lower than most phones these days, so this might be best suited for someone that doesn't want to use their phone (or doesn't have one) to take photos and record videos. Definitely not for someone wanting professional photography. Also annoying that you have to get a memory card if you want to really use it.

Jenny k - 4 months ago
This camera is so adorable! I loved the yellow and retro style so much. I feel like that is where the love ended for me. I hoped it would take pictures as good as my cellphone does, but it wasn't even close. They looked like early 2000 cellphone pictures instead. The interface was very clunky and old as well. My kids loved carrying it around to snap pictures over Easter though, so it was good for that. I can't imagine using it for anything else though.

Dmafo - 4 months ago
Cute little pocket size camera. Comes with an attachable ribbon strap and USB charger cord. Mini SD card is not included and I haven't yet purchased one so my review is solely based on how the cameras own memory stores the photos. Camera is easy to use after you've read the instructions. Quality of the photos is grainy at best. I wouldn't rely on this camera if taking pictures you intend to have printed or at a special occasion, but it is a fun little camera.

Lm124906 - 4 months ago
This retro camera is cute. The colors are bright. It is small for easy to hold smaller kid hands. It's very simple and easy to use not a lot of buttons or confusing items on it. It comes with a USB charger. It only holdd 100 pictures without a microSD card which isn't included. The picture screen is very small at 2 inches. The quality of the pictures are just ok which is another reason I think it is more suitable for younger kids.
