    Very impressed by the one-hour turnaround time! The staff was super friendly and made everything super easy. The pricing is really reasonable, especially considering the awesome quality I got. I'm used to waiting 3-7 business days for film processing, but here, I dropped it off in 3 minutes and had my photos back in under an hour! The scans were perfect--no dust or scratches. They also offer high-res scans, which I didn't go for this time, but I'll definitely try it next time. Definitely worth the drive from the North Shore!

    Nothing more daunting than having to get your photo for something that sticks with you for 10 years. Came here because 1. Support local 2. My passport expired. Oopsie. They must be doing something right because the last time I came was 10 years ago for a new passport photo and it came out GREAT. Fast forward 10 more years and still same quality. I was in and out in under in under 15 minutes. So fast I didn't even need parking validation. Not to mention it was only $10 for the photo. Dealssss! The gentleman who took my photo pointed me to the mirror for last minute adjustments and then showed me the photo after for my approval. Thanks Rainbow Photo/Video!

    Questionable quality. There is a white streak across the bottom of the photo. (Taken on Minolta Maxxum 7000 with Kodak Ultramax 400.)

    TLDR: This is the place to go if you need 35mm film developed + scanned quickly and cheap, but do not expect quality. Unlike another film lab in Honolulu, this place doesn't email you if your roll turns out blank and does not offer refund or store credit for blank rolls. PRICE & EFFICIENCY: It costs $10.95 per roll to develop with scans, and around $20 with prints. Your scans will be delivered to you through email containing a Dropbox link, usually within 1-2 hours. Each roll of film is separated by folder. The price for developing + scans here are relatively cheaper and quicker with a 1-2 hour turnaround rate compared to Treehouse, that cost ~$12/roll and a 3-5 day turnaround rate, but this means that it'll affect the quality of your scans. Also, the film here is overpriced -- I don't understand why Kodak Ultramax 400 and Kodak Gold 200 cost ~$15+/roll here. QUALITY: I didn't find a problem with my scans here until recently. Two rolls, taken from two different cameras, that I've had developed has a white line (attached) on the same spot of every photo... weird. SERVICE: They don't email or call you if your scans turned out blank. They also don't refund or provide store credit for blank rolls. I often find myself having to call why I only have two rolls of film inside my Dropbox folder, instead of the three I dropped off -- it's because it turned out blank and they don't even bother contacting you about it... which at the very least, they SHOULD instead of keeping customers confused. If you are an amateur film photographer and unsure if you've loaded and rewinded your film properly, go to Treehouse in Kakaʻako instead because AT LEAST they contact you about your blank rolls and provide store credit. My in-store interactions with the staff here, however, are ok. I haven't experienced a rude interaction with them but most have just been average. This review reflects the service I've received getting 35mm film developed here for the past three years. Deduced two stars for the lack of communication for blank film, not offering refund/store credit for blank film, and overpriced film rolls. Rainbow's only strengths compared to Treehouse is their cheaper pricing for developing + scans and how quickly they get your scans back to you.

    Straight-forward and efficient with how they handle their business!

    Looking to take a passport photo with a 'zip-in/zip-out timeframe? Rainbow Photo Video on Keeamoku (across the street from Walmart) is the ticket! Walked right in, and saw a mirror on the right, and a stool on the left at the entryway. Service was courteous, prompt, and straightforward, all within a few minutes from entering the doorway! When I made a comment about not looking too happy to start traveling again, he offered to retake the photo. The price was right - $9.95 for a couple of photos in about 10 minutes. I had time to walk through Ross next door while I waited. I like these guys - no muss, no fuss, and efficient with handling their business!

    Super easy and quick walk form Waikiki about 1 mile. Nice ppl working there had pics form my dispo about 2 hrs later love a quick turnaround. I would def use them again

    Unacceptable.

Treehouse has been there for me since I was 15 just dipping my toes into serious shots in school but it's not without its faults. Most fall in the lab and prices on this but the staff have been nothing short of fantastic each step of the way since moving back especially. Where my qualms occur though is with the lab and prices especially for bulk loading. While most of everything here on the rock is slightly inflated due to shipping and stuff and that makes sense some films especially more of the popular consumer and professional stocks are in most cases $1-6 more than those same ones in say a shop in California/washington. Though my personal biggest bugaboo is the lab with scans will take creative liberties on some scans to get it back to viable color and others will be left to the wind especially when I have overexposed my film by a stop which imho is commonplace for most film shooters to preserve shadow detail and reduce grain. All the while they'll say you have to pay extra when you see a huge green/blue shift for a majority of the roll where 2-5 will be regular looking compared to samples online. Tied with this is the fact that they only send you a Dropbox of jpegs for the pro level 30mp scans. While I understand the compression is slightly better than Google Drive pro level in the mainland again has always been wetransfers of tifs or at minimum jxls with some latitude to re edit or archive. While pricing for these are near competitive with +- a couple bucks and being Hawaii's premiere lab comes with some understandable waits I can't for the life of me understand why they can't allow for a simple change for those niche pros still looking for archival level lossless compression or the ability to compress them freely themselves. While this won't stop me using them as shipping back to my old labs in the mainland is a pain and a half I do wish us select pros/enthusiasts would have those creature comforts afforded.

I love how bright and lively it is in the inside, there's about 3-4 photo booths , and you are able to choose and pick your layout, backdrops, design, how many photos you'd like/want printed, customize to your liking , as well with filters and other edits you'd like! They also have a few high angle photo booths which I thought was pretty neat as well. It's pretty simple and straight forward as well , you follow the QR code , pay as you go , and boom the magic happens (not sure if all booths have cash and card as an option) but ours did! And it's super convenient to those who rather pay in cash or use card at their convenience. The photo strips were about $12, I think that's a steal and fairly cheap in my opinion. Considering the ridiculous amount you'd have to pay at other photo booths at other places. They do have props but it's a pretty limited selection, but maybe they'll add more in the future! And they also have tables where you can sit down to do extra decorating to your photos (with markers, and other cute lil add ons). We didn't get a chance to check the tables out completely since they were all full, but it looked like a fun time lol. We went a little late in the day and I was surprised how busy they were even then, but to be fair I get it! After the fun's done , you are able to scan a QR code to digitally save a photo copy of your Photo Booth session and even a video of it all. Such a nice touch to a fun lifetime experience! 10/10 recommend! I'll definitely be back for more! And to add to my photo booth collection lol!

At first, the older gentleman was very helpful assisting us with our question regarding pricing. We asked for a price sheet, unfortunately they didn't have one for clients or customers, just a sheet to show you over the counter. I asked, "may I take a picture of your pricing so I can have to review later?" He agreed, until his female co-worker overheard and took the sheet from him and rudely said, NO! They verbally tussled a bit in front of us and the lady got her way and did not allow for me to take a picture of the pricing of prints and sizes. She went on to say how expensive she is, repeating that several times rudely. She demeanor overall was combativeness and unhelpful. She made you not want to give her any business at all.

When our appointment time had already passed and we stepped forward to ask when we would be seen, we were criticized by others in line, which was uncomfortable and completely avoidable with proper line management. The most disappointing part was the actual interaction with Santa. There was little engagement with the kids, they weren't asked what they wanted for Christmas. This was especially frustrating since the reservation form specifically asks what your child wants for Christmas. What's the point of including that information if it's never used? We made an appointment expecting a smoother process and a more magical, personalized experience for our kids. Unfortunately, neither happened. Definitely not what we expected, especially during the holidays.
