Paper Shoot is a truly unique product that prompts questions when you first look at it - we’ve had people think they’re phones, wallets, and even floppy disks! (do you feel old yet?)
With all the speculation, it’s no wonder that some misconceptions circulate, and we’re here to dispel the most common ones we’ve heard.
Paper Shoot was invented by our founders, George and Miffy, in 2013! Innovation, sustainability, and a love for photography has been at the forefront of everything we’ve done since then.
Our prices are the same worldwide and our distributors and retail partners are very carefully selected - not just anyone is allowed to sell Paper Shoot. Our cameras and products are not and never will be on cheap websites, and we do not drop ship our cameras. Paper Shoot is unique, created with careful consideration at every step, and we take pride in operating with the utmost transparency.
When you buy a Paper Shoot, rest assured it came directly from us! For all service-related inquiries, visit our Contact Us page.
While our founders, George and Miffy, have a genuine care for sustainability and community, (did you know that Paper Shoot donates to charity with each purchase?!) we want to be very clear that we are not claiming to be the most sustainable option for photo-taking on the market. We pride ourselves in using carefully selected materials like biodegradable stone paper, recycled lenses, leaves, (yes, real leaves!), and vegetable leather, but we also recognize that the most sustainable option you can use is the camera you already have on you!
We hear a lot that we can’t be sustainable because we use disposable batteries - this is not true! Paper Shoot runs with rechargeables. With our upcoming model, you will receive both of your rechargeable batteries with the camera! The reason why the battery is not built-in to the camera is for sustainability and cost reasons. All batteries have a finite source of power in them - this is partially why our rechargeable devices like phones and computers may stop working after a few years! When your Paper Shoot batteries reach the end of their life, you’ll still have a functioning camera board, so you can simply replace your batteries for only a few dollars and get back to snapping away!
Paper Shoot is an alternative to film, disposables, and other digital cameras that is designed to be gentler on the earth. We give back with every purchase so that your camera is something you can feel good about buying!
Our cameras were designed thoughtfully by photography lovers over a decade ago. Since then, we have carefully developed each new generation with your feedback and ideas. It’s important to us to serve you only the highest quality camera - especially with our higher price tag!
Our upcoming model is 20MP and our current is 18MP - better than most smart phones! While the Paper Shoot may look thin, don’t be fooled! These are powerful. With additional filter cards, lenses, and our ring light accessory, the Paper Shoot is the perfect affordable digicam to throw in your pocket without sacrificing on photo quality.
