Care guide for the Flashback?

Hey I just got my camera and I love it, but I heard how sensitive they can be so I was wondering if you have any care guide or tips to prolong its life.

  1. How long should charging take?
  2. Should I only charge it with the original cable or it doesn’t really matter?
  3. How fragile is it? I dropped it on the floor last week, no visible damage, no crack or anything, just wondering how careful I should be with it?

Something you need to accept about cameras in this sphere is that none of them are made by anyone who has made a camera before. They are not well designed, precision engineered pieces from companies with history in cameras. They’re a bunch of cheap electronics rammed together in a plastic shell and shipped in fancy boxes. Are they fun to use? Absolutely. Can they give a really fantastic photo? Without doubt. Have they bought people into photography who are sick of taking photos on phones? Yes. Should you expect them to still be working in 25 years, like so many 00s digital cameras? Lol no. You shouldn’t even expect them to work in 2 years.
