Great tiny and cheap film camera for on the go!!
Loving this camera!! the value for money & the ease of use is definitely positive. The brightness on the film definitely depends on the what film you use for 35mm. however the durability of this tiny little thing is great!! it's very easy to bring on vacation and on the go with your friends, here are some photos that I've taken with it and gotten back from developing.

Exceeded expectations
As others have noted, the process of installing and removing the film is a little nerve-wracking - due to the super lightweight, plastic winding components. That said - I was floored by the quality of my first three rolls of film. Definitely worth the $35. The viewfinder only captures ~70% of the final image, so watch your fingers!

Camera
I brought this camera as a gift for my cousin, and she was so happy when she received it. She really loved that it fit in her purse.

Transport issues
Camera's easy to use and a great value but the two cameras sent to me by amazon both had film transport issue. The first camera's advancing mechanism stopped working entirely and was completely jammed. The second camera had transport issues, around frame 12 it felt as if the film seized up in the camera body while advancing. Fairly ugly thing because i felt the film compartment door rise a bit when this occurred. Great idea but cheaply made with poor QC. I hope it's not the same issue with the Ektar H35.

One of the best cameras ever
The Ultra Wide and Slim is one of the best little plastic cameras ever, and RETO has brought it back! I was looking for one of the original Vivitar versions, and when I discovered that RETO was making a new version, I immediately bought one. Its 22mm wide-angle plastic lens produces amazing photos with tons of vignetting, and if the sun is in the shot, it has some ridiculous lens flare if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s small enough to carry around in your coat pocket or bag, so you can always have it with you. There’s no flash, so the Ultra Wide and Slim is definitely an outdoor daytime camera. Will it produce one of your best photographs ever? Or will it implode under the stress of its own plastic existence? You don’t know! (It probably won’t implode - none of mine have, and I’ve had several.) But it’s worth the risk. Get one! (FYI, if you’re familiar with the old Superheadz version, this new RETO version does NOT have the soft-touch finish that turned the Superheadz cameras all sticky over the years. Instead, the RETO has a dull matte finish.)

Cheap and fragile
This camera actually take pretty good shots. However the material of the plastic is incredibly cheap and every time I try to manually wide the film it feels like it will be the last time before wind knob or winding mechanisms will break. Was impressed with the roll I shot however.

RUWS=BLISS
The seller was great and shipping fast and on time. Happy customer!Short review: Excellent, crazy fun camera. Pick one up!Long, drawn out review: Buy one! The Reto Ultra Wide and Slim is a hoot to carry and shoot with. Super light and unobtrusive to carry anywhere. I did not understand the hype of the previous incarnations of this camera until I ran a few rolls through it. Super fun! You outta purchase one!I am still waiting on the lab to send my film back, maybe this week. I am quite familiar with the lo-fi/ Lomo aesthetic in film photography (Holga's, Dianas, pinhole, 110 format, etc.), but I expect to be pleasantly surprised by the results of the RUWS. The results of this camera view online are compelling, if my shots are half as good I will be over the moon.Even though I wish this camera had multiple exposure capability, and a hotshoe, and some exposure control, and on and on; I know in my heart it would ruin the experience. This is about as basic as it gets (a box that holds film) and it is up to me to use my skills and creativity as a photographer to create worthwhile photos. BTW, get one. No home should be without a RUWS!Even though I have a number of cameras at my disposal, the RUWS most certainly will get the nod often. You should get one! Steal it if you must, lol.In closing, just do it already. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Best Disposable (Non Disposable)
Great little camera! Better than expected! Feels a bit better quality than the Kodak models too. Potential for some cool lens flare. Shot on Kodak gold 200:)
