Five star
It comes with a plastic lense it takes 120 film there's no flash no light metering no focusing. If you're not familiar with 120 film (not every pharmacy develops 120 film) then you should do a little research before you buy this camera ([...]). Most folks buy this as secondary camera or just as a fun camera. The picture quality is different from camera to camera and is not par with digitals. It does take unique shots it is a cheaply priced camera it feels cheap in your hands. I give it five stars because for the price it captures my surroundings in a way that no digital can replicate.

For the artist in you
Let's be honest... this film isn't great. Reviewers who are praising its "GREAT COLOR!" and clarity may be confused with Polacolor peel-apart film which yields extremely high quality. This stuff on the other hand is consumer-grade and is worse than 35mm film in these respects.
That's why I love it. While it isn't accurate this film's color reproduction says "Polaroid" all over it. That really adds a certain dimension to your photos. Especially if you are photographing more "serious" subjects (i.e. not just family/friends) the polaroid has a way of lightening it up and making your photography look more nonchalant. It also "ages" your film for you giving the photographs an old faded feel right from the start.
If you've got an old polaroid camera lying around the house take it out by a pack of this stuff and experiment. It's a lot of fun.More detail ...
You can't turn off the flash.
The 210 seems to be the same as the instax 200 but is a different color (black) and the 210 comes with a close up lens (which I have not been able to get anything in focus to come out of). I just received it and have put one pack of film through it. I have experience with all sorts of Polaroid cameras. The photo quality is similar to the 600 film with a little better color saturation. The main problem is you can't turn off the flash. I am trying to decide if I should return it or not. It seems capable of taking pretty good photos but the flash is washing things out. I'm experimenting with covering the flash with three fingers of my right hand while pressing the shutter button with my little finger... If it was $19.95 I would be happy with it but I am not sure the annoyance is worth almost $100. Hopefully the Impossible Project people will get that Polaroid film factory running again and Instax will become unnecessary.

Great little camera!
On a recent trip to Tahiti I believe I have tried about every kind of one-time use underwater camera on the market (i.e. Kodak Max Sport; Kodak Max Wet and Konica Waterproof Camera and the Fuji). All of the cameras worked fine snorkeling although I found the Konica and the Kodak Max Wet to be more difficult to use. [The Konica was a little difficult to see through the view finder with a mask on and the Kodak Max Wet most annoyingly had the strap and the photo button on opposite sides of the camera! A real disadvantage to a right handed person. As a result you essentially had to use two hands to take a photo one to hold the camera and the other to depress the button. Any of these cameras will work fine for snorkeling however the best were the Fuji and Kodak Sport. Keep in mind that all underwater photos will look a bit blue however snorkeling in the lagoon in Tahiti the blue was not really noticeable.
Here's the part I really like now I admit contrary to manufacturer recommendations I did take both the Fuji camera and the Kodak Max Wet camera with me Scuba Diving. According to manufacturer directions the Fuji camera's recommended depth is 17 feet [which is the deepest of any one-time use camera on the market]. On my dives we never went deeper than about 22 feet. The problem with diving with these cameras is the pressure - you can take a photo just fine but due to the pressure you will be unable to wind the film. However I used the Fuji camera without any problems -- I was always able to wind the film and the photos came out wonderfully -- although they were blue. The Kodak Max Wet camera continually would freeze up thus in order to take a photo you would have to snap the picture go up several feet wind the film then go back down -- not very convenient and as a result I took very few photos. Although the photos I did take with this camera came out well although they too were blue. The other benefit to the Fuji camera is that it is easier to use in the water the button to take a photo is much easier to handle and there is a very large knob for winding the film which is especially handy if you are wearing gloves.
The knob is a real drawback for both the Kodak Max Wet and the Konica cameras -- I found those two cameras to be much more difficult to wind and may be near impossible if you are wearing dive gloves. Also with the Fuji and the Kodak Max Sport the strap the button and winder are all on the right side which makes this camera very easy to use for a right-handed person.
In summary if you go snorkeling I would recommend the Fuji camera or the Kodak Max Sport. ... And if you do plan to go Scuba diving give the Fuji a try.More detail ...
Retro Cute and Fun
I purchased this camera a few months ago and I love it. It's fun and easy to use. It is well-designed to fit your hand and the shape and color give a modern elegance and simplicity to an "old-fashioned" concept. However it is not a substitute for a digital camera which I also own and use. This is a speciality camera for instant prints.
Read the specs carefully on this product so that you know what you would be getting if you choose to buy one. The pictures are about the size of a credit card. The camera uses a specific film type of Fuji film that is available on various websites (and probably in stores although I get mine online so I don't really know about that). It is a little noisy when it shoots a picture but in my opinion no more so than the bulky old-fashioned ones that are no longer available.
I lamented when these types of cameras disappeared from the market and I am so happy that I have one again. It's swell!

It's True -- Fuji Film IS Superior
...and not just the 400 film. The 100 and 200 films are excellent too!
I had two rolls of film with me on an outing at one of Long Island's beatiful bays and inlets. One was Kodak and the other was Fuji. I took pictures of pretty much the same things: of boats docked or out sailing of inlet scenery (green plants hanging over the water) etc. When I got the pictures back Kodak was okay but the ones that were taken with Fuji film were absolutely stunning. The pictures were crisp with vibrant colors. One of my favorite pictures was a picture of a sailing boat docked at a private area with trees and plants framed around it. The greens in the trees and plants were truly every hue of green you would expect had you been there and so were the various murky shades of blue in the water and the contrasting white of the boat. The ashy shades of the dock itself were picked up nicely and the browns of the trees' bark can be clearly seen making a nice foil for all the green shades in the plants. I loved it so much that I had it enlarged to poster size.
Fuji film has been the only film I use since then. I have yet to try the 800 film but having read the review on it from here as well as having my own good experiences with Fuji film I have no doubt that it would please me as well!More detail ...
Great film
This film is great. You mostly can only use it with natural day light or a flash though because the speed is so low. BUT the good thing is that it is not grainy at all when exposed correctly. The colors are beautiful. I love this film.

Expired Film
We weren't told that the film we ordered was about to expire. While we know this type of film is not in demand and therefore not produced anymore we still would have appreciated some indication on the site that the film was about to expire and/or how long the film is good for after expiration. Smarmy.

How Fun!
This is a great substitute for the polaroid camera film. The pictures aren't as big as I thought they would be and not as bright. However they are going to work perfectly at my party as a way to instantly print pictures of friends and family that attend.

Not a replacement for Polaroid 600
After reading some reviews that said this film would work in Polaroid
cameras that took 600 series film I purchased it....
It 'does not' work....the thickness of the film cartridge is much thicker
than the 600 film cartridge thus it 'will not' fit in cameras that take
Polaroid 600 film.

Lomography is a light-grabbing sport! Quick shutters small apertures fast subjects and low lights call for film that’s a little faster than standard 100 ISO. The last thing that Lomographers want to do is sacrifice any of their beloved Lomographic colours and effects for a little extra speed. Ideal for fast action and low light is Lomography's 400 ISO 35mm 36 exposure film.
- Super-fine grain color negative.
- Ultra-saturated with heavy blacks cutting whites and insane colors.
- High detail and fast 400 ISO.
- 24X36mm (35mm) 36 exposures

Great little GIZMO!
Bought this when it went down to $49.99 and it was love at first try. It is so handy and the kids love getting a little photo instantly (the polaroid effect). Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) most of the film that you will find now (until Christmas) will be expired - I called Polaroid and they said they are not discontinuing the line but they will not be sending out more film until Christmas 2009. you can buy film directly from polaroid - and they stated it won't be expired. Truth is - I bought 2 30 packs from Target yesterday (that were expired - at a discount) and they came out fine.
2) this is best used when you have an outlet - it is true - it doesn't last long on one charge
3) you can use your camera USB cord or anything that is Bluetooth enabled (even your phone or computer). The code is 6000 (I missed that on the instructions that I threw away). I used to think that I couldn't use anything that didn't have a USB cord but I was wrong - great thinking on the Bluetooth!
4) photos are best when they are facial closeups. Far away shots just don't look so great on 2x3 film
5) photos take around 20-30 sec to come out - and yes - the paper is hard to destroy and no ink mess!
