The documentation is terrible, and the camera is just so-so
I'm changing my review from one star to three stars. The camera did not work out of the box, but once I contacted Polaroid customer service, I discovered that the problem was with the documentation, which did not explain that a flashing green LED indicated that the camera was charging, and that a flashing "6" when I pressed the power button was actually a flashing "b", indicating low battery. None of this was explained in the quick start guide, which was the only documentation that came with the camera. So, I'd have to give this camera ONE star for documentation.
Once we got the necessary information from Polaroid, we were able to charge the camera up and finally got it working. However, once again, the documentation did not indicate that the photo should be left face down in the dark for 15 minutes to fully develop. My grandfather had several Polaroid cameras when I was a child, and I never remember having to wait so long for a picture -- maybe 2-3 minutes? So, perhaps the chemicals have changed, but the documentation should have explained the wait. I had to google to find out about the 15 minute wait required.
Even after waiting, the photo was overexposed. Not impressed. I hope my mother will be able to get a few half-decent photos out of this camera. She is no photographer but wanted something simple So far, we haven't been overly impressed, but will give it a chance.
en esta epoca en la cual la fotografia es princpalmente digital esta es una muy buena eleccion para quienes gustan de un formato fisico de sus fotos agregando la ventaja del autorevelado de las mismas veo hoy en la cara de mi nieto la misma fasinacion que devi tener yo cuando un amigo me saco una fotografia con las antiguas polaroid y se revelo minutos despues
