I've sent an email to the vendor expressing my dissatisfaction but I have not received a reply. I'm still trying to figure out how to return it. I was disappointed with the quality of the product. I did not receive an invoice with the camera.
I'm only using it for special moments since each pack of film is around 30-40 dollars. Ive only taken 2 photos so far but i love it. I love photography and I am still a highschool student. I bought this camera a while ago for 2 dollars with film.
I guess Polaroid rightfully decided they couldn't compete, so they threw in the towel. Apparently, in rsponse to the fact that their patent expired, so Fuji is selling their Instax instant cameras, which are MUCH higher quality and better film resolution. The fact they are still selling the cameras is dubious indeed. There is still stock left, perhaps a year's supply on the market, but after that- it's GONE forever. Polaroid stopped making the film months ago.
the novelty of an older polaroid camera made it that more enjoyable. it is kind of heavy to carry around, but mine came with a strap so it wasn't so bad. and the hinge to open this camera is manual, so i don't have to worry about overexposing my film.
not so much the camera itself, the actual hinge that opened and closed the camera. i took a chance on a used polaroid camera and it ended up working out. i purchased this camera because my first polaroid camera (the polaroid one600 ultra instant camera) broke.
the pictures surprisingly have definition, just don't take a picture of anything closer than 8-12 inches or it'll just be blurry. go get one. it ended up overexposing my film, which is a total waste of film.
(if you are thinking about purchasing one of those, consider an older model) i found this one for $20 and it was well worth it.
It is a much better/cheaper idea to just try and find a Polaroid at at a thrift shop than buying one online I think it's funny that this is being sold for so much, I have the exact same camera and I got it for 8 dollars at GoodWill.
