Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Polaroid One600 Classic Instant Camera
Customer Review: polaroid one600 not the best
Summary: 3 Stars
The camera looks fine. But the pictures are not very good. We first had expired film in camera and the pictures were horrible. We then found new film and there is still a line down the side of all the pictures. We now know that some of the problem is the camera not just film. Too expensive for what we received.Customer Review: poor color and contrast
Summary: 3 Stars
You can't beat the immediacy of the Polaroid cameras, but I was disappointed by how poor the color is in the snapshots - very washed out - and the contrast is also pretty bad. A slightly different model of the One600 that we got for my son a year ago was much better.Customer Review: Polaroid One600
Summary: 3 Stars
The camera does what it is supposed to do--take photos. It is best when used close up and in bright(er) light. When using flash, the subject should be in "pretty good" light to begin with. This camera isn't for landscapes nor close-ups (such as flower blossoms).Customer Review: Price-gouging!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a nice little camera -- in the process of being discontinued. BUT the price here is OUTRAGEOUS. You can probably find it at a nearby CVS or Duane Reade or Target for about $40.
Get it for a good price and it's tremendous fun, especially for kids. They get a real kick out of seeing the picture develop before their eyes -- just can't be beat by a digital camera.
The pictures are _not_ of the quality of a decent point-and-shoot digital camera, but how many digital cameras cost $40 and how many give pictures _instantly_? And the Polaroid pics have a quality of their own which is hard to find in the digital world.
As of mid-March, the word is that _no one_ is interested in licensing the Polaroid technology (though Polaroid has indicated that they are happy to license it out). So the downside is that film will disappear, but the upside is that these cameras will not see the popularity of, say, Diana cameras. That means they should become _less_ expensive. One way or another, do not pay the thieves at Toyzz $160. Check e-Bay or anywhere first.
Customer Review: Don't bother!
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased this camera for my husband's dive business so he could instantly photograph his students who successfully completed their scuba course. That was in November. A friend did some research and found that the film is being discontinued this year (2009). I should have paid attention to the other reviewers who mentioned this. Why sell a camera that you can no longer buy film for?! It came from Adobe Camera and when I called them to get a RMA#, they asked why I was returning it. When I told them - no response - but I did get my money back for the camera and the extra film I purchased. Seems ridiculous to me for Amazon to be selling a product that will soon be totally useless, unless of course, you have lots of $$ to stock up on film (it' expensive - turns out to be about $1 a picture - don't make a mistake!)
