Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have fond memories of instant photos, memories of my family at very special moments. Now, I love having the opportunity to capture memorable moments and have them in this format. I have used different digital cameras, both DSLR and mirrorless, but having an instant camera is on another level. Unboxing is simple: the box contains the camera, a neck strap, and a user guide. The camera has a rechargeable battery. The design is very practical, with a cover that protects the lens, which also houses the flash. It has a red button for focusing and taking photos. It has a Sonar autofocus system that determines which lens to use depending on the distance of the subject. At the bottom is the compartment for inserting photos and printing them. You can download the app to make some adjustments, but the essentials for use are directly on the camera. In terms of performance, the photos are of the quality expected from this type of camera. We are talking about a compact device that captures photos and prints them instantly. The photos need to be left to develop for a few minutes in a place out of direct light; they are not studio-quality prints. For this reason, I believe it is important to choose carefully which moments you want to capture. While our phones allow us a fairly wide margin of error, this type of camera does not, especially considering the cost and amount of photo paper included in each package. In conclusion, I can say that it is a good product that is easy and fun to use, evokes nostalgia, and encourages the user to choose which moments they want to capture in a snapshot and preserve for posterity. If you are looking for an instant camera that is affordable, easy to use, has an excellent design, and is ready to take out of the box and use, this Polaroid Flip is a good alternative, and I can recommend it.

I’ve got to play and explore this camera for some time now and I’ve really enjoyed it! I didn’t know if I would like it or get much use out of it, because in todays world everyone has a great camera in their pocket or a digital camera which can take photos with amazing quality. I quickly discovered that the novelty of having an instant REAL picture that you can print out and take with you is a huge selling point for everyone today! I guess everything that was popular at some point eventually comes back around! My kids were playing with it and having a blast taking and laughing at the photos. We put this camera and a bunch of film out for their birthday party and it was the hit of the party! They took pictures and hung them throughout the party and put them in tables, etc. Their friends got to take pictures home to hang up in their room and show them to their friends, etc… Just like we used to do back in our day! What goes around comes around! Their friends said they loved it because the never really get to print pictures anymore, and they loved the instant picture they could take home with them.

Where do I start. Quick and sturdy shipping. Relatively inexpensive price comparatively. on to the gist of things: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is just the same old Polaroid Camera that everyone has always loved and most likely always will. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Super simple, fast and easy to use, point and shoot, its that simple. Not the best at super close up shots and not the best at long distance zoom in shots, and certainly not the best at super fast action shots, but for what it is it is the best in a room full of friends and or relatives at any significant gathering, break out this camera and the fun begins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And yes almost everyone still believes if you shake it back and forth that makes the picture develop quicker, even though that isn't true. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And they were nice enough to send along a pack of film with it.

So, I got this camera for my son's birthday, he just turned 13, and is currently very interested in all things "retro" so this was a no brainer! We took it on a beach vacation with the family and he was STOKED when he opened up the wrapping paper! He had so much fun taking some snapshots and then his grandparents may have even had more fun because they got to share some stories with him about memories that the Polaroid brought up for them. I would certainly recommend going ahead and getting some extra film to have on hand cause you're going to want it! We also found that while so many of us have gotten used to unlimited picture taking on our phones, using this camera caused everyone to be a bit more mindful in what they want to make sure they capture. It really helped to make sure that we took the pictures of the memories but also made memories for the camera for capture. I cannot recommend enough what fun this brought our whole family on vacation and in celebrating our new teenager!!!

Had the Now Gen 3 and returned it for this instead, glad I did. This camera is super sleek and takes great pics.

The Polaroid is of poor quality. It’s supposed to help take better pictures with the sonar technology and more advanced features but it does a very poor job of taking the most basic picture. The pictures came out either, blurry, overexposed, underexposed or a combination of two of those. The film takes a very long time to develop. The film package only comes with 8 count. The film box states it should be kept away from xray machine and high temperatures, which may not make it good for traveling via airplane. The strap is not flat and is uncomfortable around the neck. The camera is heavy and bulky to allow for the strap to support it with just your neck. You really need to hold onto it while it’s on the strap around your neck. There’s a timer so you can take selfies and has a double exposure button and allows you to take one picture and then it signals you on when it’s ready for you to take the second picture. Even if you close the camera and it shuts off, it’ll remember that you need to still take the second picture to finish the double exposure. Again, because of the issues mentioned above, the quality of double exposure was poor as well. I would not recommend this particular Polaroid camera.
