Polaroid One600 Classic Instant Camera

I purchased this camera because of the promise of great, portrait quality prints, sharp image, 2 foot focus, etc. and am soundly disappointed. The quality of the prints is TERRIBLE-- fuzzy, no detail, etc. (and I am not a perfectionist!!) It feels cheap, the paper is expensive-- which I could accept if the quality were slightly above average-- but I consider this a TOTAL waste of money.

This year, Polaroid finally advances its design of the popular instant camera line-up. The one600 models pack alot of picture taking ease and instant gratification in their newly compact folding shape. Unlike last generation's Polaroid One, the new models have a practical range of automatically set shutter speeds, expanding the picture taking capabilities tremendously. Of the four one600 models, its the JobPro that offers the best bang-for-buck. For less than the cost of a twin pack of film, it piles on features like self-timer, red-eye reduction flash, superior dust intrusion protection, and importantly, a lighten/darken control. This last feature has been dropped from many Polaroid models, but with the narrower contrast range of instant print film (compared to conventional color negative material) it can make a big difference in the acceptability of your final result. All these features can also be found in the one600 Pro, and many might prefer that camera's black and chrome appearance to the JobPro's rubberized black and yellow scheme - but for about the same money, the one600 JobPro trumps its stablemates with a final feature: a lifetime warantee. If you're in the market for a compact instant camera, the one600 JobPro is the model to choose.

Finally, let me add that the current crop of digital cameras may make many consumers question the need for Polaroid instant cameras. I own and use both, and while digital cameras are unbeatable for their options and manipulation capabilities, they can't match the ease of use and genuine spontenaity of a Polaroid: any five- or seventy-five-year old can use one. A Polaroid 600 (or Spectra or 500) print is water proof, and has a durability and fade-resistance that ink-jet prints can't match. Polaroid prints also have a unique liquid quality (by virtue of their self-contained chemical make-up) that no other media reproduces; they also seem more 'genuine' than the prints that emerge from an ink-jet. Digital cameras have their place, but Polaroids haven't become obsolete yet. And if you need to e-mail that Polaroid?- that's one reason God gives us scanners.

Over filtering, and considered various colors, I believe this is the camera that suits me the most. Polaroid makes the best instant camera. And One600 series is also the best item considering the price and the quality of its pictures.

ok. even though i didn't have much info. about this product, i really needed an instant camera
and other products at amazon were not very tempting or pretty.
so i had no better choice than to just purchase this.

i've been using this camera for about a week. and i've taken about 15 pictures[trying to save films]
and the results are just beautifully fine! some of the pictures
are just so lovely with great color and texture. also self-timer is really useful.
but i really never used red-eye preventing button yet. but i assume that's also helpful

if you want to check how the picture would look, look in here:

so if you're trying to buy an instant camera and don't know what to buy,
try this one. other cameras are too cheap or too expensive
this camera is just right amount of money to spend with great results!

i greatly recommned it ^-^
