Polaroid - Snap 10.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

Got this as a gift for my neice for her birthday and she loves it.

Polaroid cameras are small but I love how I can just take a picture and it starts printing out the side. I look a picture of the sunset and it was amazing. I love how small and compact it is. I also think that the quality of the pictures are amazing too.

I own several Polaroid cameras, both old and new, including a Z2300 which uses the same Zink paper the Snap uses. I bought the Snap so that anyone could pick it up and use it - it is a simple camera. You must know how to use a viewfinder as it does not have a LCD screen. Every camera used to have a viewfinder, but if you've never used a camera viewfinder you're gonna need to practice. with the Snap. Get the micro SD card, install it, and shoot several exposures without putting Zink paper in the camera. Then check your results by downloading the saved images to your computer. Once you get comfortable with the viewfinder, put some Zink paper in and shoot away. Oh - the camera does not come with Zink paper nor an SD card so be sure to get those when purchasing the camera. Know that the pictures are not large. Know that this is a fun camera and not a professional model. Know that the directions are online and not included with the camera. Know that there is a software update that you might have to install and that there may be more update installs in the future. (these help your camera to work better). I am very critical of pictures and I am giving this camera a "B+" grade. If you practice, you'll get good results and be able to tell others how to hold it when they use the camera. It's simple and the results are fun. Don't complain about the cost of the Zink paper. If you were to take digital pictures and print them out at home you'd be spending just as much - if not more - for the photo paper and the printer's ink cartridges. Like I said - practice with out the paper in the camera and check out your shots on your computer. So get this camera. Get Zink paper and an SD card. Charge up the camera and start enjoying the world of Polaroid.

I bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas, and she loves it. She likes that it is digital and she can upload the photos to her computer, and that it is instant. It has the option to take black and white pictures too, which I did not realize. A friend of hers has the Fuji instant film camera and she likes this one better because it is so compact and easy to use.

Instant Cameras have made a comeback into the market a ling time. this one is really good product and compared to the Instax Mini that you can get for $60, this one is quite better in design. The only problem with the instant camera's is that they are not very good in capturing pictures if there is not enough light and the flash range is less, so you have to be in a proper range, otherwise the pictures come a little dark. You will have to try this a couple of times to get a hold of capturing with good lighting. Overall its a very nice product if you are too excited taking and sharing printed pictures right at the moment.

I was reading the reviews and it seemed like other people liked this camera. I, on the other hand, always wanted to have a polaroid camera only because i was curious. I was excited when i got this in the mail but after trying it, i wasnt fully satisfied. For $100 (i think i paid $99, but with tax...) i expected something of better image quality. But like i said, it works and it does its job. Recommend maybe getting the 12mp instead of this, its only 10mp.

I shouldn’t have purchased this. I wanted the Fuji instant camera and Best Buy was sold out (clearly for a reason), so I purchased this (which costs more). It strives to have more capabilities like able to take a micro sd and different color filters but they don’t make up for the picture quality. Although the look of the picture is going for vintage, The tones are very dark and unpredictable when the flash will activate. It does have a timer which came in handy a few times. Selecting the border option on the camera is pretty sucky because your actual picture gets smaller on an already small photo paper along with the border not looking very authentic. I just use it during my birthday party and created a collage which came out to be pretty cool, but I prefer the Fiji instant print cameras much more.

My daughter lives her instant camera she got for christmas. It is very simple to operate, and the small size makes it perfect to carry in a pocket, backpack, or purse. She also likes the pictures that it prints. The only drawback is the small 2 inch x 3 inch prints.
