This camera is a lot of fun. They are so simple so there’s almost nothing to go wrong. Even after 30 years they still work. The new Polaroid Originals film works, but your only get 8 shots instead of the original 10 shots, so the frame counter on the camera is misleading now. Also, you need to protect the exposed film from light for like an hour while it “develops”, something that wasn’t necessary back in the 1980s. They also warn you not to shake it, in spite of what the OutKast song says (lol, I like it when companies have a sense of humor). The finished product is quite soft-focus, probably due to this camera having a fixed-focus lens. Also, the colors seem very muted vs old Polaroid shots from the past. Mostly blues and greens, not a lot of reds or vibrant colors. I haven’t tried the new B&W films, mostly due to the cost: over $2 per picture. This is a great camera for groups or parties, especially for young people who’ve never seen a camera like this in action.Read full review

I bought this produce for my supposedly first Polaroid camera, but I got another one earlier than I had expected. I don't know how the sonar works, but I tested it with the black and white impossible film and it works great.
Nowadays no one ever really prints their photos, whether is from their phone or their digital camera. Polaroid keeps the magic of photography alive and captures one of a kind memories in film that last decades.
Good camera for its time but the exposure is difficult to figure out and many pictures are coming out either dark or overexposed.
Great camera, works like a dream. I've been getting the film from the photojojo.com shop which is pretty affordable.
