Polaroid Originals Now I-Type Instant Camera - White (9027)

It's so fun to take a picture and have an instant hard copy in hand. Obviously, the picture quality isn't up to par with the new iPhones and cameras that we have now, but there's something to be said about having these old school polaroids in hand after taking a photo. It's just kinda fun and the pictures aren't bad they just aren't as crystal clear as our new devices and cameras can now make them. But maybe that's a good thing, like putting of softening filter on photos, haha.

I decided to read other reviews before I wrote mine and it's sad to see all the people who don't understand a piece of vintage analog tech. If you don't read the manual and don't take necessary steps for a good picture then you'll just be wasting your film. It's sad to think of all the people who might of been turned off from buying this because of those review. So here's my honest review!The camera it's self is a nice light sturdy plastic. The rechargeable battery last up to 120 pictures or 15 film packs. Charges fast. Fairly easy to learn how to get good exposures for optimal pictures. These pictures aren't suppose to be top of the line high def pictures polaroid's were made to not have to wait to have a memory saved forever. Take your first pack of film and burn through a few pictures to figure out how to get good light and focus. Don't forget a half press of the capture button focuses the lens!! Pictures turn out amazingly retro, vintage, and nostalgic when done right. They will be kinda dark maybe a little blurry and you'll have chem burns on a few but thats one of the things that polaroid users love! So don't blame the camera for user error, I LOVE my polaroid now and dont go anywhere without a fresh pack of film and a fully charged battery! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T SHAKE THE PICTURE, STORE YOUR FILM IN THE FRIDGE, AND AFTER YOU TAKE THE PICTURE LAY IF FACE DOWN ON A FLAT SURFACE FOR 15 MINS TO GET A GOOD PIC!!!

I am trying to expand my network to meet people. I plan to use this camera as a way to start conversations.A friend of mine gave me the idea and now I’m going to try it.The camera is great, the only problem is that I need a way always have it ready.

Things to mention that are listed in the product information i wish i would have paid closer attention to :-the film refills are very expensive (although this product did come with a starter kit that inc one film block of about 8 pictures) the replacements are very pricey and come in options of only 8-10 approx at a time .-“shake it like a polaroid picture “ -NOthis product does require you to lay the picture flat face down for about 7-10 min for the picture to come through, i stubbornly tried the shaking method, even though the directions advised not to / it would. it work that way . turns out they are right lol so the experience of enjoying the picture right after is not therebut other than that it provides the retro look and old school feeling of everything that is polaroid and is 100% what it is advertised to be , just have to read the fine print ;)

This camera is easy to use and fun to watch the film develop before your eyes. However, the picture quality hasn’t improved much in 40 years. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I thought the pictures would be less grainy and have more defined color. To repeat my opening statement, it really was fun for my granddaughter to watch the picture appear in a few minutes. She learned how to “point and shoot” with accuracy because of the instant developing. The case (sold separately) is sturdy and protects the camera and developed pictures well.

Bought this as a gift, great purchase & the receiver loved it!

I got this as a xmas gift and absolutely love it. The picture quality is great for what it is; a simple, analogue camera with no bells or whistles. Personally I love Polaroid pictures. I love how they look. If you're not expecting iPhone quality pics, you'll be happy with what this camera puts out.It has a flash and a self timer, which is cool. It comes with the charger and a neck strap (which is thin and cheap and I'll be getting a nice one soon) and an easy to follow manual with pictures on how to operate the camera and load the film. The camera is super simple and straightforward to use.The only downside is that the film is expensive; about $15-20, depending on the style, for 8 shots. So this camera isnt a toy for kids. Get your kid one of those IMAX mini's or whatever they're called. This camera is probably best for teens and older.

It’s great. People are such babies about the quality of the photos. Its Polaroid film. It’s not going to be perfect.Battery lasts awhile. Keep film in fridge. Keep camera clean and In that bag they give you.But honestly splurge for the Now+ instead. Has much cooler features. I should have done more research before buying. I’ll never forgive myself.
