Tend to agree seems a bit pricey.

Love the concept, but concerned about the additional costs of buying/developing the film.

Love it! The purpose of the item is to appreciate how far we've come with photography so I don't mind building a camera of my own and buying and then developing my own film.

why on earth would anyone want a cardboard camera? and buy film for pictures that may or may not turn out (either quality of photo, or composure of photo, since we are so accustomed to re-taking "bad" pictures)? I think that anyone who would want to use film actually has a real 35 mm camera to use.

Since you can make these yourself with a shoebox, it seems a little absurd to pay $25 just so the cardboard is in the shape of a camera.

Bring back film photography! Personally, I'd just make a pinhole camera from scratch, but this would be a fun gift for someone who's intimidated by the full-on DIY project. Also good for older kids interested in photography.

Needs to come with film. And show a video about putting it together and using it.

A cardboard camera? With the wear and tear I put my cameras through, this would NOT work. Also, could you throw it in a purse/bag? Probably not.
