    Expired film in the bundle

    I bought this camera as a bundle-it came with 2 packs of film (which is expensive so I figured it would be a better deal to get this one vs just the camera.) It was a graduation gift. When we started using it, the pictures were terrible-blurry or so light you couldn’t see much. Turns out the film was expired and useless so not a great deal after all. Camera does better with unexpired film but left a sour taste because of the extra expense in the bundled camera/film.

      Hi Kathryn, I'm sorry to hear about your issues. The date stamped on the film box is the production date, not the expiration date, so the film in your bundle should be fresh and not expired. Please contact our customer service team at usa [at] polaroid [dot] com and we can help.

    It was defective brand new out of the box. Shutter wouldn’t open and I couldn’t exchange it for the same thing because it was sold out so I ended up getting the smaller Fuji film one and it works fine.

    The quality is kind of trash compared to the original Polaroids from back in the day. It’s like they’re made cheaply. The colors don’t develop right. They’re washed out but not in a vintage way… Overall, I’m just kind of disappointed considering it cost so much

      Hi Claudia, Sorry to hear about your issues. The new Polaroid film is made from all new chemicals and materials from the Polaroid film from back in the day, but you should still be able to get great results. If the photos are washed out, it could be that the film packs you had were affected by temperature or x-ray (if you traveled via plane for example). Please contact Polaroid support at usa [at] polaroid [dot] com with sample images and we can help.

    We bought this as a gift. We were very disappointed to find that to charge it we had to buy a different plug for the charger. You would think it would come with the charger.

    If you are looking for a instamatic type feel with full size instamatic style film, this is a great option. Just expect the same level of image quality you would in the 70's.

    Good Instance Camera

    Summary ------- A good camera to take instant prints and there is no competition. It is just one of a kind. The cartridge contains about 8 photos. A nice gadget to have when you want to print. Pros ---- 1. One of a kind camera which can print. 2. Simple to use 3. Nice clear pictures' 4. Looks sturdy Cons ---- 1. Print cartridge is smaller in size - 8 pics Details -------- Setup is simple, fully charge the camera before use. Once it is fully charged, inserts the print cartridge and you are set. it will show the counter. The camera has the capability to allow users to either force a flash Or completely turn it off. The pictures' with the flash come out good in low light conditions. I like the simplicity of the devoce, The camera also has a self timer for taking group pictures. Good to place it on a flat surface to make sure the pictures come out OK. Double exposure - good for low light conditions when you want to improve the exposure on the pictures. I think overall for the price, this is a good Christmas gift especially if you have a teenager.

      Hi Mike, We're sorry to hear about your issues. If photos are green it could be due to cold temperature exposure when the photos were taken. Please contact our customer service team at usa [at] polaroid [dot] com with sample images and we can help figure this out with you.
