Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Polaroid Silver/Blue JoyCam Instant Camera

Customer Review: An interesting, inexpensive instant camera.
Summary: 4 Stars

I got this camera the other day, about a half an hour before I was to go out with friends. In only about 3 minutes, I had already snapped off my first shot. The JoyCam is incredibly easy to use, however, it may be so easy that you'll accidentally set it off. I'm disappointed with its bulky body as it makes it a little hard to just slip it out of your backpack or purse, but its form may be actually advantageous for smaller hands and fingers. The picture quality is what I had expected for a Polaroid camera of the suggested price. I took shots of a building from a speeding car and still pictures close-up, and the quality remained consistant. The images came out pretty clear, although the color quality after using the flash leaves something to be desired. All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. Instant photographs are a novelty in itself, and the JoyCam makes it easy on your wallet.

Description of Polaroid Silver/Blue JoyCam Instant Camera

The Polaroid JoyCam is a revision of the instant camera design that made Polaroid famous. It has a small body in comparison to its bulky predecessors and offers a frame counter and built-in selectable flash with a flash-ready light. Easy enough for a child to use, the Polaroid JoyCam operates with the push of a single button--no focusing necessary.

The design feature that sets the Polaroid JoyCam apart from other instant cameras is its film delivery system--or lack of one. Traditional instant cameras relied on film cartridges with built-in batteries to enable the camera to expel each shot; however, this model works without a battery. Instead, users pull a plastic ring on the side of the camera to extract the exposed frame. This manual process enables Polaroid to offer a lighter camera body and compatible instant film cartridges at a more reasonable price.

The Polaroid JoyCam takes pictures at a range of three feet to infinity. It works with Polaroid 500 instant film and produces pictures that measure 4.4 by 2.5 inches, which is slightly smaller than traditional Polaroid shots.
