I was disappointed with the quality of the product. I did not receive an invoice with the camera. I'm still trying to figure out how to return it. I've sent an email to the vendor expressing my dissatisfaction but I have not received a reply.
I love photography and I am still a highschool student. I bought this camera a while ago for 2 dollars with film. Ive only taken 2 photos so far but i love it. I'm only using it for special moments since each pack of film is around 30-40 dollars.
Apparently, in rsponse to the fact that their patent expired, so Fuji is selling their Instax instant cameras, which are MUCH higher quality and better film resolution. There is still stock left, perhaps a year's supply on the market, but after that- it's GONE forever. Polaroid stopped making the film months ago. I guess Polaroid rightfully decided they couldn't compete, so they threw in the towel. The fact they are still selling the cameras is dubious indeed.
the novelty of an older polaroid camera made it that more enjoyable. and the hinge to open this camera is manual, so i don't have to worry about overexposing my film.
not so much the camera itself, the actual hinge that opened and closed the camera. it ended up overexposing my film, which is a total waste of film.
i purchased this camera because my first polaroid camera (the polaroid one600 ultra instant camera) broke. the pictures surprisingly have definition, just don't take a picture of anything closer than 8-12 inches or it'll just be blurry.
(if you are thinking about purchasing one of those, consider an older model) i found this one for $20 and it was well worth it. i took a chance on a used polaroid camera and it ended up working out.
it is kind of heavy to carry around, but mine came with a strap so it wasn't so bad. go get one.
I think it's funny that this is being sold for so much, I have the exact same camera and I got it for 8 dollars at GoodWill. It is a much better/cheaper idea to just try and find a Polaroid at at a thrift shop than buying one online
