I would not recommend this item at all. This camera is not worth a penny. If there were negative ratings, this camera definitely belonged to that range. Spend a little extra money on another good quality of polaroid camera. I cant think of anything else to describe it. The color, image and lighting came out blurry and unclear.
I expected this. If that's what you're looking for, then don't buy this camera.I don't know a lot about cameras. The picture quality is better than what I remember from my childhood in the 70s, but not much. 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.
Sure, the picture quality isn't nearly as good as a 35mm. 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. (Again, I'm not complaining. Sure, the film is expensive and you only get ten exposures.However, it's an INSTANT CAMERA.
The camera is uncomplicated, relatively compact, and the film loads easily. I am. They're not known for their superior picture clarity and amazing color. 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.
Polaroids have always been fun cameras. The camera takes type 660 film or even takes type 779 professional film for better colors and better clarity. The camera is solidly built, fits into your hand comfortably and is easy to carry thanks to a two position hand strap. I've used Polaroid cameras off and on since the Swinger came out in the 60's. This one is no exception. The Polaroid One is by far the easiest to use. I've had the SX-70 and the One Step. The LCD film counter on the back is easy to read and the pictures are clear.
If you're in the perfect lighting this camera takes good pictures but most of the pictures I've taken are very blury or the colors are way off.
Also, I dropped it on the floor and it kept working - you can't ask for more than that. Polaroids generally are a little awkward to handle, but this one is a very good basic model with very easy-to-use and fundamental features (red-eye reduction, timer). It handles light in a straightforward fashion, but can also be sensitive and manipulated for nice effect.
