saturnsangel22's Full Review: Polaroid JoyCam Film Camera
Here's another camera to add to the collection. If you bought it, you knew in advance the size of the pictures that the camera took, so I don't think that picture size is an issue. In fact, I think this size picture is perfect for the kids science projects and for quick prints for a scrap book. Really, that is all I have used the camera for.
When your child comes home from school with plans for an elaborate science project where you have to take pictures of a dying daisy for a series of 5 days, and the project is due the next day, I think there is nothing better then a polaroid camera, even with 1 hour photo, and if anyone has ever noticed, when you need the film in an hour, it takes up to 3 to get your one roll developed.
The price of the film is a bit more then I would like to invest in a camera like this, but I used the camera at my baby shower last week and it did bring me joy to see the pictures almost instantly. Also, that way I knew I got the pictures I wanted. I also find the quality of the pictures great, and just as good as any other cameras film. I also did not invest a whole lot of money into the camera itself, it's much cheaper then the regular sized Polaroid cameras they sell, and works just like it is explained on the package. You slide a small switch, a light comes on to indicate that it is ready. You snap the picture you want and pull on a small loop to pull your picture out. There is no rocket science involved in this camera. Even my mom could use it, and my mom is the type that refuses to use anything new with buttons.
I gave it a durability of 3-average, mine was dropped twice at the baby shower by my young cousins and did not break and still operated, but it is a plastic camera, and I am sure you could easily break it if that was your intention.
Also the battery is included with the Polaroid film you buy, so, I am not sure how long the battery would last for, I know that if you leave the camera on, it will shut off automatically.
