    When I was young I longed for a Polaroid, thought it was so cool. When these came back around it was on my must have list, and now as an adult I can make it happen. Lol A great novelty and complement to my phone and dslr. Highly recommend.

    So while it isnt branded as Polaroid, that's exactly what this is. My 11 year old daughter absolutely loves this camera which was a gift. It's also fun for adults who are nostalgic. Now if only I didnt have to purchase expensive film again.

    It's fun to have a polaroid photo for a change, but the photo is a bit smaller and watch out for good lighting to get a good photo. Also, the replacement film adds up more money if you use it a lot. Wish the camera itself was smaller but its ok. Still a fun, neat product like the old polaroids.

    I bought this for a Christmas gift for my niece, she loves it. The only thing is that being young, she takes a lot of pictures. The film is so expensive, I'm just saying should make it more reasonable prices. And only like 10 shots... just cause of that, I guess giving it 4 star's.

    Had to return because the exposure settings did't function. Lots of over/under exposed pictures. Tight tolerances on the battery compartment lead to tough installation and operation. Nevertheless, when it does work, it's a ton of fun!

    It is a nice camera for the price including the individual price for the film. We have an old poloroid camera and had to stop using it cause the cost for the film was so steep. nice to have this camera around, my daughter loves it!!!!!!!

    Just at the time flash control button is confusing. I ended up wasting a lot of film till I figured out the difference. He manual/instructions don't really make sense and luckly there were online "how to". - which I should have used before starting to take a lot of pictures.

    This is a phone camera. It is literally point and shoot. The images are not the best but that is to be expected with the instant photos. I wish there was a function to send images to a computer or wireless printer, I believe Polaroid had a camera with those types of functions.

    I've been through two similar cameras in the past due to lens and water damage, but am always willing to purchase a new one because the fun and excitement of an instantly printed photo makes your memories all that more special.

    I love this but had to get my bf to help me set it up because i was worried i would do it wrong. Not good with taking pet photos both my pets are terrified of the noise it makes. Also plan to spend a lot on film so look for deals

    This new school polaroid is so much fun to take photos with when on the road or with friends. The reinvented concept of imperfect candid pictures is refreshing in an age where people only want to post perfect magazine level photos.

    Purchased one for each kid. They like to write journals and this gives them quick pictures to place in their journals. There are times when they don't want to use their phone and post online. They both love the cameras. They are a bit bulky and a smaller format would be nice.

    The camera itself is great. The kids loved it but the film gets expensive as they blow through it very quickly. A cheap digital camera would be better in the long run.
