Customer Reviews

Great, but flawed
I have the silver version of this camera. (It uses the same 600 film so I assume they are the similiar (if not the same), just different colors). I think Polaroid instant cameras are great, but there are a few niggling problems. 1) Photos often lack sharpness and can look slightly out of focus, 2) For some reason an occasional photo will come out as if it has already been half-exposed, and 3) There is no counter to tell you how many pictures you have left! This is the most annoying aspect b/c you only get 10 photos per pack (and they're kind of spendy). There is little more frustrating than to press the button and have nothing happen. I believe there is a counter on the Joycam, but I prefer the traditional Polaroid size and shape. Otherwise, I still think this is a quality, fun camera and there is nothing better than not having to drop off your film for development.

Catching the Moment
This Polaroid One Step Express Instant Camera is not the latest model, but it is good & fun enough for people who want to "catch the moment"-- take and get pic in hands within 3 min.

Digital cameras & images are great. You can almost take as many as pictures you want and would not be afraid of wasting your films. As the instant film is more expensive, you may not take pic that "freely" but what's on the pic will be what you treasure and you would like to keep. The size, shape, & texture of the instant film can give you something different & a little "nostagia" flavor.

There was black & white film for this model, unfortunately, they are no longer manufactured. So, only color films are available for its use. That's a little disappointing, but I think this camera is still fun to have. :)

Mediocre
I got this camera as a hand me down. It works great for instant gratification, but it is hard to get a quality picture. They can be blurry, or the person's head will end up really small and not in the place I wanted it to be in the picture.
