    This is definitely a blast from the past. This camera will definitely bring the nostalgia out. Very easy to use, pictures print beautifully, there isn't much more you could ask for. This particular camera prints pictures that are a tad bigger than a credit card.

    Very similar to the original Polaroid. I prefer this design because it's more cutesy and updated. The color is a nice pastel yellow. PIcture quality is good and has a sepia like wash on the photos. Good price especially if you have Best Buy rewards to use towards it! Easy to transport and use. The only thing you need to be aware of is the button. It's sensitive so if you're carrying it in a bag, make sure you dont end up snapping pictures of your bag! Great for selfies, gift ideas, parties, even weddings!

    Is this an amazing camera? No. Is it fun? Yes. Will you enjoy taking it to parties or taking snapshots of family and friends? I don't know. Do you like fun? If so, this is a great camera for you. Is it nice to have pictures in a physical form instead of buried in the archives of your phone, never to be seen again? Heck yes it is. And this is a quick easy way to do just that. The film is a LITTLE expensive at about a buck a shot, but it's still a pretty fun way to take pictures, have them immediately, and not have to deal with the internet to get those pictures printed.

    Brought as a Christmas present for my niece (teenager) and of course I have to make sure it works properly before giving to her and YES IT DOES!! I LOVE IT!! I hope she has as much fun with it as I have! This year I will win the...BEST AUNTIE EVER...award!! YES!! I will probably purchase one for myself to go along with my digital cameras...it will make it easier to approach people when traveling if I can give them an instant photo as a "thank you" for them allowing me to take a digital pix!

    This camera is so cute and fun. The only thing is getting used to the lighting settings, some pictures don't come out as I would like them to, even when using the recommended lighting. And it's a waste of film, which is pretty expensive, about a dollar per picture, but other than that it's a great camera for lifetime memories.

    Adds fun to taking pictures. The picture quality is good for the type of camera. Film starts to cost an arm and a leg after a while though. ><

    Great Camera for kids but.........

    Bought this for my daughter for her birthday and has used it several times. She loves the fact that the pictures print out right away and says it's the new technology toy she loves...........I haven't told her that Polaroid pictures have been out for ages. But down to the bare bones that is basically all that this camera is, just a new and updated Polaroid camera that prints out smaller Polaroid style pictures. The camera itself has a dial around the lense which measures the areas white balance and lights up the mode that the user needs to change it too in order to provide the best possible pictures in the camera's ability. Aside from that it's a point and shoot Polaroid camera that is trying to make Polaroid pictures cool again for the new generation. With that in mind before letting your kids go crazy with the camera, you may want to have a talk with them about making each picture count. At the film sitting at about 1 dollar per print it can get expensive REALLY QUICK, especially since kids now a days are use to digital cameras taking pictures like it was going out of style with no regard to the amount every CLICK can cost.......... Pros: Great camera for kids Easy to use and load film Cons: $1.00 per CLICK

    It was a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. I also bought the accessories kit. Everything was included, except the only disappointed was that I didn't read further and realized no film was included with camera or accessories kit. So we had to wait and order the film. Once it was received she was able to capture moments on New Years. I liked so much I actually want one for myself. Easy to use, lots of different colors to choose from and fun...fun...fun!
