Title: Such a fun camera. Just do your research.
Review: TL,DR: super fun camera, as someone whoâs new to Polaroids. Just know what youâre buying and how to use it/be prepared to learn.Overall: 4.3/5 Stars, giving it 5 to try to balance out all the negative reviews.Hereâs my general spiel:I bought this knowing that I have zero experience with Polaroids, photography, exposure, color, and all that fun stuff. I bought this mainly to mess around with the settings in the Manual mode in the app, rather than let it automatically set the settings. Also, I went into this willing to spend $2 a picture to learn how to work with aperture, shutter speed, lenses, etc. and it honestly didnât take too long to learn some of the basics after reading through advice on reddit/google/etc. My first indoor pictures were extremely underexposed, and greenish. My first outdoor pictures were extremely overexposed. But this was because I was learning how to work with the camera! The camera itself is loads of fun, and get some quality pictures once you figure out what youâre doing lol. With the right settings and lighting, you can get really crisp and colorful images. I really only use manual mode in the app so I can learn how to fully control my camera, so Iâm not super sure how good the auto settings are. BUT Iâll also say that the tripod mode is a lot of fun to use at night for some long exposures! The film shield is nice too so that you donât need to worry about the picture getting directly exposed to light right after it prints and you have time to prepare your pocket or clear your table.You can see in my picture some of the photos that I took during my first few attempts. (I donât want to post my better pictures because they all have my friends in them lol) I also included my first two night exposures. Iâll also note that the super yellow photos were taken with a faulty film pack (mentioned below) but they still resulted in some cool looking multi exposures.I only have two negatives!The only technical issue I experienced was that one of the provided film packs had some issues ejecting my photos, but otherwise, the other film pack, and any other that Iâve bought have worked just fine. I even got some fun weird photos out of the dysfunctional one due to multiple exposures (in the picture theyâre the bright yellow ones).My only personal annoyance with the overall product: A little annoying that you need to use the app to do all adjustments, but I also can see the value of having a remote for the camera. It was also nice to have the long exposure timer with me instead of somewhere on the camera.One helpful piece of advice I saw online: if youâre taking pictures when itâs cold (for me it was 55°F and below), put the photo in your pocket to develop, not facedown on a table or surface. The cold makes the photos greenish, so putting it in your pocket where itâll be warmer helps prevent that from happening.If youâre getting this, do some research on photography! If your photos arenât coming out the way you expected, try to adjust some of the settings. Also, remember that film is super expensive, so if youâre learning photography with this camera, be prepared to spend money on some bad photos. (I wonât say waste, because even my âbadâ photos came out pretty cool, just not as expected, and I got to learn from them).

Title: Awesome product!
Review: The camera works wonderfully; the lens adjustments and everything else are excellent. I completely recommend buying it, as long as you have studied and watched reviews on how to use a camera like this, since it is very sophisticated and challenging to handle.This is the first instant photo camera Iâve used, and honestly, weâve taken beautiful photos, but we have also struggled to get the perfect lighting. When using one of these cameras, you should also consider the price of the photo packs, as they are not cheap, and to learn how to use it, you will need to spend a considerable amount of money.Itâs perfect as a gift, but you should consider whether the person likes this style of photography and has the patience to use it.

Title: âFun and nostalgic â
Review: I recently purchased the Polaroid camera, and it has been an absolute joy to use! The instant film experience brings back nostalgic memories while offering a unique and creative way to capture moments.The cameraâs design is sleek and compact, making it easy to carry around for spontaneous photo opportunities. The quality of the prints is surprisingly good, with vibrant colors and a vintage touch that adds to the charm of the photographs.Operating the camera is straightforward, and the instant gratification of holding a physical photo in your hands just seconds after capturing the moment is priceless. Itâs a refreshing departure from the digital world of smartphones and offers a tangible and tactile photo experience.The built-in flash is useful for low-light situations, ensuring that you can capture memories in various lighting conditions. I also appreciate the variety of film options available, including color, black and white, and special edition frames, allowing for creative expression.One small drawback is that the film packs can be a bit pricey, but the unique experience and the joy it brings to both kids and adults outweigh the cost.Overall, I highly recommend the Polaroid camera for anyone looking to add a touch of nostalgia and fun to their photography. Itâs a perfect gift for special occasions and a great addition to any social gathering.

Title: Trash.
Review: TRASH.I'm old enough that I had an original Kodak copy of the Poloroid instant camera. It worked; this one does not....Expensive camera, expensive film. Small square prints.Expensive custom Poloroid case bought. Almost $200 all together.No instructions. A bright 1970s novelty picture book type foldout. No controls on the camera. It's truly as simple af point and shoot w/or w/o several special effect & colored filter lenses made of plastic.I shot the first 8 pictures and all eight were very underexposed although the flash was on and some were taken outdoors too.The photos were all mostly BROWN with almost no color being captured within. The TINY effin' viewfinder does not correspond to the final image - ALOT of unknown head space you above subject you will capture. Also! They are very dull and too blurry - just inexcusable in the 2020s.So I say a %$#@ U to modern-day Poloroid technology.Straight back to Amazon and presumably to Poloroid it all goes!

Title: Amo tomar fotos Polaroid
Review: La camara es buena, lo malo es que tienes que aprender a tomar las fotos jajajaj, o sea a veces salen muy oscuras o muy brillantes pero con practica van quedando muy bien, la verdad a mi me encanto tener que aprender a tomar las fotos y que no todas salgan bien siempre.

Review: TenÃa miedo después de leer y ver vÃdeos de reseñas mencionando la sobre exposición que tiene la cámara, y que es difÃcil sacar una buena foto, pero en mi opinión no es asÃ. Claramente la cámara tiene una pequeña curva de aprendizaje para aprender a usarla, pero no siento que sea tan grande como para gastarme 40 films (como me ha tocado leer); puedo decir que después de las primeras dos fotos entiendes a cómo usarla (claro que también viendo vÃdeos de reseñas y leyendo el manual).Los filtros con los que viene le dan un toque extra que resulta lindo.De momento no me ha tocado realmente usar la aplicación, cuando la use actualizaré reseña. De momento estoy bastante contenta con mi cámara.

Review: ¡Me encantó esta cámara!, es muy divertida y fácil de usar, excelente para eventos familiares o con amigos, creo que es una forma muy bonita y divertida de tomar recuerdos, yo me he divertido mucho con ella. Es recargable y la baterÃa se carga mediante USB-C (cable incluido), la duración de baterÃa también es muy buena. Las fotos no pueden visualizarse entes de ser impresas por lo que cada foto será única y no sabrás cómo quedará hasta que esté revelada (no olvides quitarle la tapa al lente ð
) solo que si lo que quieres es poder ver la foto antes, mejor compra el Polaroid Lab. Los cartuchos (i-Type o 600) de fotos son un poco caros, por lo que es algo que si debes tomar en cuenta, pero hay muchas opciones disponibles, con marcos blancos, negros, dorados, de colores, con revelado a color o blanco y negro e inclusive fotos redondas. Te recomiendo comprar el paquete i-Type de 40 fotos (5 cartuchos de 8 fotos (a color) cada uno), te saldrá un poco más barato. Esta cámara puede utilizarse junto con una aplicación con la que puedes ajustar algunos parámetros para la fotografÃa (muy útil para foto manual o en trÃpode) aún asà NO es buena para tomar fotos en condiciones de poca luz, incluso con el flash, asà que no desperdicies fotos en la noche o si no hay una buena fuente de luz disponible. En cuanto a accesorios Incluye una pequeña correa de muñeca, la cual se agradece pero es muy incómoda, asà que te recomendó comprar la correa de cuello junto con la cámara, también incluye también una serie de filtros de colores y para el lente de la cámara y un estuche para guardarlos. La calidad general de todo el producto es excelente, su embalaje, accesorios y la cámara misma ha superado todas mis expectativas. Yo la he disfrutado mucho y espero que tú también.
