With the ability to add up to 256GB of microSD memory, you can take multiple photos, then select the images you want to print. The built-in battery only prints about 40 photos per charge, a modest amount compared to the 120-160 photos you get from Polaroids. The LCD screen is basic so don't expect the same honesty as in a traditional DSLR or mirrorless display.
