The only drawback is as the pics age, the resolution fades. Not a professional pic, but it comes in handy when you only want one pic instead of taking 20 or so and having to pay the developer sometimes an awesome rate to produce the one pic that you want. This camera is worth the price and the pics come out pretty good for an instant camera. But what do you want for an instant pic.
i loved looking through old albums of my parents full of polaroids, captions fading on the white bottom strip. it's a modern day relic from my past :) way cheaper setup than the $1200 photo booth and way cooler. i still say it's worth it.i purchased mine for my wedding reception - to set up as a self photo booth for our custom guest book :) guests take their pictures and stick them on a guest book page asking where they traveled from and any advice for the newlyweds, etc. realize that this camera's design is essentially 50 years old. i hear people complain about lack of features and poor quality photos. anyone who has a desire to own this camera should appreciate the picture quality being second to today's digitals, and able to deal with difficult to locate (locally) film cartridges that commonly cost upwards of $15 for 10 pictures. i love the camera.
I would not recommend this item at all. The color, image and lighting came out blurry and unclear. If there were negative ratings, this camera definitely belonged to that range. This camera is not worth a penny. I cant think of anything else to describe it. Spend a little extra money on another good quality of polaroid camera.
I'm using it to take a photograph every day of my 15 month old son to send to my husband who is doing a year long tour in Iraq. I am. The picture quality is better than what I remember from my childhood in the 70s, but not much. They're not known for their superior picture clarity and amazing color. I expected this.
Sure, the film is expensive and you only get ten exposures.However, it's an INSTANT CAMERA. I don't know anything about Polaroid and the technology behind the Polaroid One, but I can tell you that I am 100% pleased with this camera as it fits my needs perfectly. The camera is uncomplicated, relatively compact, and the film loads easily. The purpose for stating that is so others will not expect too much).If you're buying it for a specific purpose and not to be your primary camera, then you'll be 110% satisfied. Sure, the picture quality isn't nearly as good as a 35mm.
If that's what you're looking for, then don't buy this camera.I don't know a lot about cameras. (Again, I'm not complaining.
Polaroids have always been fun cameras. This one is no exception. The camera takes type 660 film or even takes type 779 professional film for better colors and better clarity. The LCD film counter on the back is easy to read and the pictures are clear. I've had the SX-70 and the One Step. I've used Polaroid cameras off and on since the Swinger came out in the 60's. The Polaroid One is by far the easiest to use. The camera is solidly built, fits into your hand comfortably and is easy to carry thanks to a two position hand strap.
