    Camera is everthing i wanted from an instant cam. The weight of it feels perfect, comfortable to hold, and the prints are great. Havent had any trouble with exposure yet but do recommend having a fair amount of lighting for photos.

    This camera is great if you want to get photos instantly. You just load the film, point and shoot. It’s great for scrapbookers, birthday parties and more. It’s very easy to use and lightweight. Highly recommended.

    Truly I don’t understand the bad reviews. This camera is meant to have a vintage look and feel to the photos you take. If you’re expecting $2000 quality photos, please don’t waste your time. If you’re looking for fun, vintage looking, automatic pictures you can keep for a lifetime, this your camera! I can’t recommend it enough. I took it to Greece with me and I’m obsessed with the memories I was able to capture.

    I like the Polaroid very much. It's very convenient to buy at Best Buy. The delivery is very fast. You can choose different delivery methods. I've bought several models and I'm very satisfied!

    I love the obstacle cameras. Very simple to use and cute. Pop the film in and shot. Also not over exposed like some cameras. Over all simple. Plus I love the vintage vibe it gives off. A good gift if you want to get your bang for your buck. Would highly recommend. Also Best Buy got my product to me sooner than expected.

    I bought this on a whim to have something to take photos with besides my cell phone. Everyone in the family loves it and we had an adorable photoshoot. We all picked which prints we each wanted to keep and it was a wonderful bonding experience. Definitely convinced me to buy a couple more as gifts. Great quality camera and no issues so far (after one month of use). The film can get a little pricey but it has been worth it to me.

    So first off, this thing is NOT small. I expected it to be palm size, but it’s whole hand size. It’s really light and cheap plastic-y feeling but it’s fun to use and takes decent little photos. Kind of an expensive but fun little toy.

    a super easy point and shoot camera that is fun and light weight. Takes cool pictures, expecially if you have the different film options such as the black bordered film

    Just started using it yesterday and it's been so easy to load film, put in batteries, and the youth I work with love it. While it does not take photos of objects very well, I love how it takes photos of black and brown skin. We're not fading into the background!

    The Polaroid is a great camera with cool photos, but it’s not very stable out of 100 photos, at best you’ll get 20, I checked it and returned it. I took this camera to replace the Polaroid, yes, the photo size is smaller, there are no such cool flares as with Polaroid, but there is also a limit to the flare, the flare on the whole face is also not fun. 100/100 photos turn out the way you intended them, film is cheaper, the camera is compact, 9/10. I wish the frame size was larger

    This is a really great camera. It is a vintage camera so keep in mind that it's not going to take good quality pictures like how you do with an iPhone. It is really nice to have to take pictures anywhere you go and have it printed out right there and then. Would definitely recommend it :)
