Summary: Poor quality - color, lighting almost everything!!!
Comment: This camera is not worth a penny. I cant think of anything else to describe it. The color, image and lighting came out blurry and unclear. I would not recommend this item at all. Spend a little extra money on another good quality of polaroid camera. If there were negative ratings, this camera definitely belonged to that range.
Summary: Great depending on what you're using it for
Comment: Sure, the picture quality isn't nearly as good as a 35mm. Sure, the film is expensive and you only get ten exposures.
However, it's an INSTANT CAMERA. They're not known for their superior picture clarity and amazing color. If that's what you're looking for, then don't buy this camera.
I don't know a lot about cameras. I don't know anything about Polaroid and the technology behind the Polaroid One, but I can tell you that I am 100% pleased with this camera as it fits my needs perfectly. I'm using it to take a photograph every day of my 15 month old son to send to my husband who is doing a year long tour in Iraq.
The camera is uncomplicated, relatively compact, and the film loads easily. The picture quality is better than what I remember from my childhood in the 70s, but not much. (Again, I'm not complaining. I expected this. The purpose for stating that is so others will not expect too much.)
If you're buying it for a specific purpose and not to be your primary camera, then you'll be 110% satisfied. I am.
Summary: One of the Best Polaroids
Comment: I've used Polaroid cameras off and on since the Swinger came out in the 60's. I've had the SX-70 and the One Step. The Polaroid One is by far the easiest to use. The LCD film counter on the back is easy to read and the pictures are clear. The camera takes type 660 film or even takes type 779 professional film for better colors and better clarity. The camera is solidly built, fits into your hand comfortably and is easy to carry thanks to a two position hand strap. Polaroids have always been fun cameras. This one is no exception.
Summary: not so great
Comment: If you're in the perfect lighting this camera takes good pictures but most of the pictures I've taken are very blury or the colors are way off.
Summary: Good Choice!
Comment: Polaroids generally are a little awkward to handle, but this one is a very good basic model with very easy-to-use and fundamental features (red-eye reduction, timer). It handles light in a straightforward fashion, but can also be sensitive and manipulated for nice effect. Also, I dropped it on the floor and it kept working - you can't ask for more than that.
Editorial reviews:
The Polaroid One Instant Camera makes it easy to capture those spontaneous moments, share the fun, and enjoy the smiles, instantly! It is sleek and compact, so it is easier to take with you. The dual position hand strap lets you easily grip the camera when taking pictures, and lets you securely hold the camera when on the go. Now you can be in the picture with the new self-timer, and red-eye reduction makes everyone look best.
