Love this camera! Also a huge fan of the self timer option and the double exposure. I was able to use the self timer when I went on a trip with my boyfriend to San Francisco and it was just the best option since it was just us. Absolutely a new favorite.

There’s no way around it, I really recommend getting one of these, especially before summer hits. The whole thing is so simple that it’s kind of difficult to write a very detailed review but out of the box, there’s no real frills here. The packaging is very standard, instructions are a light read and setup doesn’t take long. Out of the box you’ll obviously have the camera (mine was charged), a mini usb charger, and then a carrying strap for the camera. The carrying strap attaches easily, but I never really bother with those type of things, even though I’m contemplating using one in the future because the camera is a smooth plastic material, a tad heavier than you’d expect, and awkward to hold. As for setup, and use, it couldn’t be easier. You load in the Polaroid film (sold separately), hit the power button, decide if you need flash or not, point the camera, and shoot! There’s an indicator next to the power button to let you know how many film cartridges are still inside and the flash next to that. The front of the camera also has a timer on it, which would be useful if you want to try and get in the picture too, or take a selfie but that’s likely not a feature I’ll use much more past initial testing. The historical downside with polaroids is that each picture costs about $2 in film, much more than its competition, so the idea of hoping to time a selfie right or use the timer to hope I get in the family photo on time isn’t a high priority. Just as it’s always been, you wait about five minutes after the film pops out of the camera, and just like that, you’ve got your physical copy ready to roll. If I was to be super picky about one thing it’s that, in the world of smart phones and incredible cameras in our pocket at all times, the quality of the pictures on here need to be higher. The attached picture was something I shot with the subjects 20ish feet away and they come out lacking much definition or detail. That said though, these are still incredibly fun, very nostalgic, and always come out looking great with natural lighting so spring-fall usage is ideal. There’s no better time to buy than right now!
