So you want to shoot on a polaroid...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well here are some things to consider with this camera. It's a plastic body with a plastic lens that gets the job done. Is this a "point and shoot ready to go camera"? No. Far from it. This is very much a "manual" camera in that you have more options in how to take photos. It's not totally manual since you have the option to just leave it up to the camera to decide. But then will it be easy taking the perfect photos everytime? No. If you thought it was, you are mistaken. Modern Polaroid tends to require using your brain more than usual at times. Why? Because, if the picture doesn't come out right, it could be a number of different factors such as; focus distance, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, enough natural light, the angle it was taken, the temperature it was taken in, the rollers being dirty, ect. If you are buying this camera it's because you want more creative liberty which this camera does a great job at. 10/10 would recommend to enthusiasts. But 5/10 would recommend to casual hobbyists. If u want a ready to go polaroid camera where u have some extra features but without all the thinking, then a polaroid "now" or "go" would do the trick. Although keep in mind that the film used is quite finiky. You could have the best conditions and still get a bad shot somehow. It's just how the film is sometimes. Other than those things to think about, I love this camera. Definitely what I was looking for in a camera that uses such amazing film.

Best Instant Camera right now!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own Instax wide 300, Instax SQ6, Polaroid Sun600 and Polaroid Onestep+ and this camera would be my favourite of all of them. Simply because you can shoot manual and do more stuff with it. The film price is a bit more expensive than the Instaxs ones but the color and feel of it is different. If you're looking for a more nostalgic looking results this would be the perfect choice.

Takes me back to childhood!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved instant photographs when I was a kid. It’s nice to play with this as a grown up. My only issue is with the app. It’s just too much. I can’t take a picture and use the app at the same time. Just too much to hold. I do like issuing the app to do more “artsy” photos but it’s really not necessary for everyday type of photography. I also like that I can easily scan the photo with the app to have it in a digital version so I can post on social media. Would be nice if we could see what we are photographing though the app before the snap. Seems like it would be more useful then.

Great nostalgic camera!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a big hit with my nieces who didn't fully understand the concept of not being able to take unlimited pictures! The pictures are so much more special than what you get on your DSLR or phone! They truly feel like a moment captured in time! The app is also great and helps to take better pictures, which is fantastic because there is a bit of a learning curve, and at $2 an exposure that can be pricey!

Modern Nostalgia: Fun, but expensive.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Though the actual Polaroid brand has been defunct for many years; the name has been sold (and resold) - eventually becoming “Polaroid Originals” (as of 2017). And, with the new name comes a new version of the classic OneStep camera from 1977. The OneStep+ is a nearly identical refresh to the OneStep SX-70 model, but the nostalgia may not be widely appreciated at such a high price. The + is incredibly fun to use (especially for those who grew up using the originals), but the enjoyment is quickly snubbed out when you realize just how expensive it is. The camera is more expensive than anyone would guess, and the Film (which is not included) costs around $16. If that doesn't sound like a lot, keep in mind that you only get 8 photos - which means that you are literally paying $2.00 for each picture! And don’t forget that with Polaroid, each photo is a gamble. Waiting up to 15 minutes to see your image might be exciting at first, but soon comes the realization that most results are mediocre (at best) and there is a reason that the simplicity (and high quality) of Digital has taken over the photo landscape. Not having to develop film is no longer novel as it once was. In the past, this feature may have saved time and offset the high cost of the camera & special film. But, now that we all have the ability to take high definition digital photos, nobody is driving to an awkwardly placed photo-hut to pay for film developing. We actually can see our pictures instantly. We can retake them and even edit them to our liking. This camera is not all bad – in fact, it is simple and enjoyable to use (if you don’t mind spending money up front, and continuing to spend money every time you take a picture). Synching the OneStep+ to your phone is a welcome innovation and is incredibly quick and easy. This helps users learn to use the camera and adds features that otherwise could not have been included (without adding buttons or a screen that would have further increased the cost). Using the phone as a shutter remote is convenient. It is also quite satisfying to see your picture automatically pop out of the camera after the phone hears your subjects say “CHEEEEEESE!” The best feature, by far, is the double exposure which allows you to layer two pictures on-top of one another for a truly artistic result. The only disappointment is that the phone is not able to display what the camera sees. This leads to many awkward moments of looking through your viewfinder while also awkwardly fumbling with your phone. I wish that Polaroid would have found a way to further utilize the capabilities of our smartphones. Oddly, most photo-shoots conclude with the user taking a cell phone picture of their Polaroid picture. Now else are we to share our blurry hipster vignettes? It is always hard to convince people to pay something that they can get for free – and this is the challenge that Polaroid now faces. I truly do want this camera to be a success. But Sadly, I believe that the skill of taking a great Polaroid picture will continue to be a lost art. The original Polaroid company went bankrupt in 2001. The "new" Polaroid company went bankrupt in 2008. Let's hope “Polaroid Originals” can finally find a way carry nostalgia into the future. PROS: + Comes with a rechargeable battery built in + Pairing with a phone is extremely easy + View finder is covered with rubber making it more comfortable to hold up to your eye + Has a solid build quality + Has physical buttons & switches for a more retro feel + Lens adjusts for portraits (close up) or standard (distance) photos + Has multiple picture options: The most fun being double exposure + Allows for Manual adjustment of aperture, flash intensity, shutter speed, etc - which allows a higher level of personalization. + Can be mounted on a standard tripod + Shutter can be triggered by noise (when the group says "CHEESE!" the Camera snaps the picture) + Bright & useful flash + LED lights show how many pictures are remaining in the camera + Comes with neck strap & charging cable CONS: - Camera’s price is high - The Camera does NOT come with any film - Film is expensive - Only holds 8 pictures - Size is bulky and not particularly portable - Lens is exposed and does not come with a lens cap - Viewfinder is small and a bit awkward to use (as often you are trying to manipulate your phone while also looking through the camera) - Cell Phone cannot be used as a viewfinder (it does not display the image of that the camera sees) - The paired phone cannot be used to view the picture taken - Picture quality is not any better than Polaroid cameras from decades ago - Film takes a long time to develop (between 5 & 15 minutes) (which also seems as though it should have improved over the years) - Comes with a USB charging cable, but not with the adapter to plug it into a wall

Photos are way too dark
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Photos turn out way too dark. I've spent three boxes of films trying to fiddle with different settings (exposure comp and flash mode) as well as shooting environments. After wasting $50 on films, I've come to the conclusion that this camera is not capable of taking properly exposed photos. I have a Fuji Mini 90 and it takes way better photos.

Q: QuestionCan you store/save the photos digitally as well?
Asked by DigitalPhotos.
- A:Answer This is an analog camera so it only takes instant photos. There is no digital image saved. However, after your Polaroid photo develops, you can use the Polaroid Originals app to scan it and save a digital copy.
Answered by Polaroid Support
Q: QuestionHow long does it take for the photo to develop?
Asked by Bill.
- A:Answer It would take 5 to 15 minutes for the picture to develop.

Q: QuestionWhat are the benefits of the OneStep+ compared to the Now? What are the full Bluetooth features and what can I control?
Asked by Will.
- A:Answer The Now camera is a classic point and shoot style camera with autofocus. The OneStep+ camera does not have autofocus, but has two lenses (one for portrait photos and one for landscape). The OneStep+ can work in conjunction with our app via Bluetooth, whereas the Now cannot. The app allows you to control the OneStep+ from your phone, to remote trigger the shutter button, do double exposures, make light paintings, and lastly to give you manual controls over shutter speed and aperture.

Answered by Polaroid Support
Q: QuestionWhat happens to the eyes of the people you are taking pictures of when the flash is used?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Analog cameras don't have red eye reduction so depending on the angle of your subjects and whether they are looking directly at rhe flash, there may be some red eye reflection.
Answered by Polaroid Support
Q: QuestionIs there a cheaper film option for this camera? Maybe a generic brand available?
Asked by MaeBelle.

Answered by Polaroid Support
