A good scanner for the price
I mean the price I payed for mine, $10, where is $75 coming from? Do not buy it for that price!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my little scanner, I do not own the I-zone camera, I had lots of pictures that you could barely make out what was in them, now I scan them and Voila, LOL you can see everthing, I have my own website and every picture on there is from the webster. I would more likely recommend this scanner as a gift for a child, but for someone who does not have a scanner the webster is great too. NOT FOR $75 THOUGH, BUY A REAL SCANNER FOR THAT PRICE.

Offsetting Reviews
Okay, I would have originally given this product a 3-star rating, but felt I had to give it the full 5 stars to offset some of the ... reviews from the customers.... Another thing, some other customer from Canada wrote that to use this product, you would need 12 things for this scanner to work -- but doesn't even mention what these 12 things are.

I can mention the obvious ones:

1. An I-Zone Camera (in the color of your choice)

2. Some I-Zone pictures (plain or sticky, again your choice) that you want to scan

3. A working computer with Win9x/NT/2000/ME, CD/DVD drive and the usual range of ports

4. This Webster Scanner, which comes with serial cable, CD (with lots of good image-related software) and 4 AAA batteries

That's it. What else do you need???

Product Review:

The scanner is pretty easy to use. Just hold the scanner over the picture, press the button, and voila! The picture is scanned and an image of it is stored (up to 20 images) in the scanner to be exported to your computer or to be uploaded to the internet via included serial cable at a later time.

The images produced are small -- about 250x350 pixels. The quality of the images aren't of the best commercial quality, but they're good enough for their intended use -- to be able to make copies of your i-zone pictures to share with everybody else. You can also scan small areas of other things such as text, postage stamps (*shrug* Why not?), other photos, magazines, etc. Nothing to stop you from doing this after all.

The CD comes with software and drivers you need to import pictures from your Webster scanner, plus some fun quality extras to dress them up.

The scanner itself is lightweight, but a bit fragile. It comes with a handy carrying strap, but I wouldn't exactly swing it around carelessly. The opening to the battery compartment can easily pop out and the batteries don't quite fit in snugly. This scanner definitely needs either a protective carrying case and/or improved outer casing. (How about it Polaroid?)

Overall, the Webster scanner is just a fun addition to the I-Zone line of products. While you won't get the best image quality, you no longer have to fight over who gets to keep the picture!

Great!
This is an awesome little hand held scanner. Of course it is perfect for the i-Zone photographs, but you can also use it to scan other small items (i use it a lot for small drawings).

The great thing about the Webster is that you can throw it in your backpack and carry it with you (it's powered by batteries).

The other great thing is the price, for under ten bucks you can't beat it.

GREAT AND FUN WHILE IT WORKS
I REALLY DID LOVE MY WEBSTER WHILE IT WORKED. IT WAS A GREAT WAY FOR ME TO GET A COPY OF PHOTOS THAT I WOULD TAKE AND GIVE AWAY. IT WAS SO QUICK AND EASY. I HAVEN'T HAD IT VERY LONG BUT NOW I GUESS A LIGHT BURNT OUT. HALF OF THE PHOTOS I SCANNED WERE FINE BUT THE LAST HALF CAME OUT EXTREMELY DARK. MORE THAN USUAL. I DON'T KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CHANGE THE LIGHTS BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK EASY.

THIS REALLY IS A NEAT DEVICE TO USE WITH YOUR IZONE CAMERA. THE PROGRAM IS EASY TO INSTALL ON YOUR COMPUTER AND THEN YOU PLUG THE SCANNER IN. IT IS LIGHTWEIGHT AND SMALL SO YOU CAN TAKE THE SCANNER ANYWHERE WITH YOU AND YOUR IZONE. YOU MUST USE BATTERIES AND BE SURE TO BRING SPARE SINCE IT [takes] THE LIFE OUT OF THEM. BUT DON'T CHANGE THE BATTERIES WHILE YOU HAVE PHOTOS SAVED ON IT OR THEY WILL BE LOST. IT HOLDS 20 PHOTOS SO YOU MUST DOWNLOAD THEM ONTO YOUR COMPUTER TO PUT MORE. I FOUND THE PROGRAM VERY EASY TO USE AND FUN. YOU CAN DOCREATIVE THINGS TO THE PHOTOS ONCE THEY ARE ON THE COMPUTER AND INTO THE PROGRAM.

Great Value
Pluses: 1 Great price for what you get (Camera, case, software, cables to connect to computer) 2 Picture quality is very good.

Minuses 1 Slow to download to computer. (You can start it loading and leave it alone, though.) I have a very fast computer and could take 30 seconds to dowload a picture from camera. 2 Uses batteries up quickly. You can use up 4 penlites in an hour of heavy use (especially if you use the view-screen on the back - that is what really uses the power up). (Not any different from other digital cameras from what I read.) 3 Very little documentation, not a problem for me, since I wouldn't read anyway, but others may want to read more about it.

NOTE: I searched around and other online retailers had lower prices up front, but after you add shipping and taxes (yes taxes on some sites) you end up paying more than on Amazon. So I bought from Amazon! Plus, Amazon delivered quickly of course, and I don't know how the other guys would do as far as customer service.

Number of pictures: With the 4 megs built in, you can take 12 XGA superfine, 25 XGA fine, 50 XGA normal - 22 VGA superfine, 45 VGA fine, 90 VGA normal.

Extra pictures: It uses CompactFlash Cards. Can buy to add Megs of memory to hold more pics. (approx $ per meg for the CompactFlash cards) Amazon and others also sell these.

BEST DIGITAL CAMERA FOR UNDER...
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST DIGITAL CAMERA YOU CAN PURCHASE THAT ISAT LEAST 1 MEGA-PIXEL UNDER ... MY WIFE AND I SPENT ALOT OF TIME CHECKING OUT DIGITAL CAMERA'S OVER THE PAST FEW WEEK'S, TO USE TO TAKE PICTURE'S OF CAVE'S AND VACATIONS, AND FINALLY DECIDED ON THIS CAMERA. THE VALUE OF THE CAMERA ALONG WITH ALL THE EXTRA'S YOU GET IS WELL WORTH IT(4 MEG BUILT INTO CAMERA AND UPGRADE OF MEMORY,USB SUPPORT AND CABLE'S,FINALLY WHAT MOST CAMERA'S DO NOT PROVIDE A/C ADAPTER) i MUST SAY THE PICTURE'S ARE SOME OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN FOR THIS PRICE. THE LCD SCREEN IS VERY GOOD AND CLEAR, THE CAMERA IS VERY FUN AND EASY TO USE. ALL THE PEOPLE THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT BATTERY LIFE, LET ME SAY ALL CAMERA'S EAT BATTERIES, SO THIS CAMERA EATS BATTERIES LIKE ALL OTHER DIGITAL CAMERA'S. THERE ARE OTHER CAMERA'S IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE, BUT FOR YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR THIS CAMERA HAS MORE FUNCTIONS AND EXTRA'S THAT MAKE IT WELL WORTH IT! ... GET THIS VERY WELL MADE CAMERA FAST!!!

Polaroid PDC-700
This is a nice entry level point and shoot camera. I recommend this for someone who wants to start out in digital photography. I do recommend the 48MB CF card, and a professional battery pack. It will go through it's 4 AA's in about 30 minutes, high current draw. But it takes nice photos, and it's nearly indestructible too. In order to use the connection software(serial RS-232) you will need Windows 95+, and use EPP mode. And for the second generation PDC-700(USB enabled) you will need Windows 98+ to use it. Overall, a good entry level digital camera.

Great little camera!
I bought this camera for about 2 years. It takes very good, clear pictures even on the medium resolution setting. They look very good printed up with a photo printer.

Since it didn't hold very many pics, I bought a 64 MB Compact Flash card, and now it holds hundreds, so I don't have to download them often to free up space. Yes, regular downloading is somewhat slow, but there is a slot for a USB cord, it just wasn't included.

I have had no problems with the software, or this camera. Yes, it uses batteries quickly (as do all digital cameras) but I opted for easily replaceable AA's instead of rechargable. That's just what works for me, it's easier.

All in all, I am very glad I bought this camera and would recommend it to anyone!

Wasted precious money
Cannot take camera anywhere without being waited down with
batteries. It got to be ridiculous to be changing batteries
so much. Never got the Photomax to download .I sent it back to the company. They sent it back to me and it has never worked since. Wish I could get a refund. It is in the box with all papers. Directions were too complicated also.
Can't afford to buy another one. Afraid the same thing will happen and I certainly can't afford that. The store where I bought it doesn't even handle the product three months later. Does that tell you something? ... Read more

Should you really "shake it like a Polaroid picture?"
Ever since the song "Hey Ya" by Andre 3000 of Outkast came out, everyone is shaking their Polaroid pictures. Shaking or waving a Polaroid picture to help the development process originated in the early days of peel-apart film. After peeling the negative, the image needed to dry before it could be handled, so waving the photo helped it to dry more quickly. When using the integral films (600, Spectra, 500, SX-70/Time-Zero, i-Zone) that are used in our most popular current camera models (Polaroid One, OneStep, JoyCam, etc.), the image develops and dries behind a clear plastic window and never touches the air, so shaking or waving has no effect. In fact, excessive shaking or waving can actually damage the image. Rapid movement during development can cause portions of the film to separate prematurely, or can cause "blobs" in the picture. The best way to ensure a perfectly developed image is to simply lay the picture on a flat surface immediately after it exits the camera. ... Read more

best instant camera although it's my first
ok. even though i didn't have much info. about this product, i really needed an instant camera and
other products at amazon were not very tempting or pretty. so i had no better choice than to just purchase this.

i've been using this camera for about a week. and i've taken about 15 pictures[trying to save films]
and the results are just beautifully fine! some of the pictures
are just so lovely with great color and texture. also self-timer is really useful.
but i really never used red-eye preventing button yet. but i assume that's also helpful

if you want to check how the picture would look, look in here:

so if you're trying to buy an instant camera and don't know what to buy,
try this one. other cameras are too cheap or too expensive
this camera is just right amount of money to spend with great results!

i greatly recommned it ^-^

Great results from a 'construction' camera
I bought this camera at a going-out-of-business sale at a local retail store about a year ago. I thought the 'construction' nature of the camera would make it more durable, while still providing fairly good pictures. Little did I know that the pictures would be so good!
I never would have guessed that this camera would take such crisp, clear pictures. I have shot more than a half-dozen pkgs of film and every picture has turned out fine. Please understand...this is not a 35mm camera with all the bells & whistles. It is a Polaroid instant camera (w/ flash) that produces good, instant pictures. That being said, it is very rugged and durable and will tolerate adverse weather better than your 35mm will. I have taken pictures in the rain w/o problems - you only have to remember to protect the film when it exits the camera. It needs to be kept dry & warm...just like any polaroid.
If you go into this with the correct expectations, you will not be disappointed.

For the guy who has everything...
This camera is a great idea for someone who has everything, and who likes to do home improvement projects and keep track of them. It's quick to use, and has great space for reference for each project. And, it's easy enough to use to document little parts of each individual project, to see the details necessary. I'd recommend it for a home improvement buff who is hard to buy for. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

The Polaroid JoyCam Kit includes Polaroid's latest JoyCam camera model and a 10-frame film cartridge. The Polaroid JoyCam is a revision of the instant camera design that made Polaroid famous. It has a small body in comparison to its bulky predecessors and offers a frame counter and a built-in selectable flash with a flash-ready light. Easy enough for a child to use, the Polaroid JoyCam operates with the push of a single button--no focusing is necessary.

The design feature that sets the Polaroid JoyCam apart from other instant cameras is its film delivery system--or lack of one. Traditional instant cameras relied on film cartridges with built-in batteries to enable the camera to expel each shot; however, this model works without a battery. Instead, users pull a plastic ring on the side of the camera to extract the exposed frame. This manual process enables Polaroid to offer a lighter camera body and compatible instant film cartridges at a more reasonable price.

The Polaroid JoyCam takes pictures at a range of 3 feet to infinity. It works with Polaroid 500 instant film and produces pictures that measure 4.4 by 2.5 inches, which is slightly smaller than traditional Polaroid shots. The kit includes one box of Polaroid 500 film, providing you with everything you need to start snapping pictures immediately. ... Read more

Great Choice! , Get this one!
My daughter wanted the Polaroid I zone. After the reviews on Amazon about the I zone, I chose the Joycam. Great choice. Picture quality is excellent! Pictures compare favorably to my Polaroid Spectra. For indoor shot's, Watch out ,and make sure that when you want to take a picture, that you turn the flash on first ,or you will lose a shot. Fun camera ,great pictures ,great choice!! Thanks to all the Amazon customers that wrote reviews on the I zone , and saved me frustration!

very pleased with the Joycam
I purchased this camera not too long ago and I must say I'm pretty pleased with it. The picture quality was much better than anyone told me to expect, it rivals if not beats its polaroid brothers and sisters in terms of quality. The pictures are fun to take at get-togethers and just hoarsing around, however the high cost of film caused me to rate this product at three stars. After the rebate, the film costs as much as the original camera! Overall it's stupidly simple to operate, drop in the film and go. It's as simple as that. The quality of the camera is a bit lacking, but who's complaining for the price it's at? Overall, it's a fun little toy to have at parties. I definitly recommend it to anyone looking for an instant camera.

New purchase, Polaroid I Zone instant combo
I just purchaded a new Polaroid Instant Combo, which Ididn't see on your list of items, it is really neat. Digital for my computer on 1 side, and flip button back to instant small film shots on the other side. Have you seen this Combo?? Would like to get some feedback on this question.

Thanks, Sarah Siggins

Polaroid makes better choices
In the last couple years Polaroid has introduced a raft of new products to position itself as a hip and affordable life-style accessory. These include the i-zone, PopShots, JoyCam and lately the Spectra FF. For 'bang for the buck', not one of these newcomers provide as much for as little as the old stand-by Polaroid One-Step. The JoyCam is a bit smaller than the OneStep, but dispenses with motorized print ejection and a lighten/darken control, and gives an image that is 1/3 smaller than the OneStep's. The 500 series film is a little less expensive per shot, but not a enough to justify losing so much image area. And since you can no longer adjust the camera to make lighter or darker images, the chance of getting disappointing shots - at about a buck a peice - is much greater. The JoyCam also gives up the ability to make close-ups between 2-4 feet, something the OneStep Close-up camera can do with the flick of a switch. Finally, the JoyCam makes rectangualr prints instead of the the OneStep's square images. Many people actually prefer this shape, but holding this oddly shaped camera steady while shooting vertical snapshots is going to be awkward at best. Do yourself a favor - for less than half the cost of a pack of film, get the OneStep instead.

For the JOY of it!
I got this camera as a secret Santa gift last year and I love it. It's great for get togethers. It truly is instant fun! The cost of the film is a bit insane but when you factor in the lack of development fees and immediate satisfaction I manage to rationalize it. I have no complaints about the quality of pictures. They're not the best quality in the world but I am spending about [price]a picture- and that ain't that bad. The only complaint I really have is that on more than one occasion I have accidently hit the button and gotten a picture of the sky or driveway setting me off in a fit but that's about it. ...

Coupons???
hello, i have been a faithfull customer ofpolaroid for many years but this is my first time to ever visit this site on polaroid cameras and film. i admit i was only slightly empressed! the products and information given on them were very good and the wonderfull pictures of each item are great also. there is only one reason for my vist, to this site, that made me use my critical judgement, at the beginning of my letter. i dint feel as if this site and/or polaroid did'nt give there all in welcomeing us, the customer. i think that people today, when purshasing from any company but exspecially over the internet,we need to feel as if the company it self cares for there customers and really tries to get on a personal level with them. my advice to polaroid on getting to that personal level would to first start with offering specail offers to them, such as coupons and newsletters. are even a mailing list for them to sign up to. that informs them of different things, for example: special coupons assigned especially for polariod customers, to help them in there perchases with polariod, also maybe a catalog that fully shows and gives exallent details on each item that polaroid offers. i believe strongly this is affective and i am confadent that your company will also. families that are making the most perchases, and even those that seldomly make many perchases, both will be convinced that the order they made from you is of the best qaulity and for those customers that seldom make those perchases were helped in there dession to perchase, not only by the qaulity but the way the company went the extra mile. the extra effort given will soon be rewarded. well i hope that my advice to help your company in its coninouse of carring on the success and meeet even higher goals. thanks for listening to my suggestions and i hope you will concider me as one of your first of customers to recieve any mailings on/about disconts and offerings. thank you cassi hetzel

im selling mine and going back to 35mm
I've had this camera for about a year. It works really well upclose, most of the times. Alot of the times the pictures come out really blurry, which is why I am selling it. I think it has to do with the auto focus and the flash it uses with each picture. In their next camera, they should have an option to turn the flash on and off, because when you use it, it's hard to get the lighting perfect. If the lighting isn't right, it comes out all smudged and blurry. I think for the price of film for this thing, it should have been made better. It has held up really good and all parts work still in the past year. The only problem is the pictures come out blurry too often.

So much fun!
I received this kit for Christmas and was immediately snapping away! The Polaroid offers great color quality, portability, and ease of use. I take mine with me everywhere! The camera itself is very user-friendly. There are icons on the front to tell you which focus setting you need, and guess what the big yellow button is for? Also, the film is extremely easy to load. A classic.

Instant cameras are great... smile! ^_^
I bought this camera, because my old camera is irritating me when I have one shot left to take to fill up the film and I don't have any idea what to shoot or waiting for the store to develop them for a whole day is way too long if you want them at the best price. This is a good camera if you take only one picture every week, but other cameras' instant film are cheaper at the same size. I used it when my family from an other country came as tourists and they had to leave the same day ; I couldn't run to develop films. The bigger the picture you want on instant film, the bigger the camera sould be, so don't complain.

If you take a lot of pictures and developping films aren't a problem to you and quality is essential, just buy a good film camera around $400 or $500, but they sure are bulky. That was the advice people gave me at many, many stores.

Anyways, cameras are cheaper in Canada... except the digital ones. ... Read more

Cute, Easy and Fun
The Polaroid Mio is an excellent camera. In fact, I may just be in love with mine. It is so cute, so much fun to use and takes great photos! Even the photos are cute - wallet size instead of the regular Polaroid square size.

I've used my Mio both indoors and outdoors and haven't had any trouble with photos not coming out. That's not to say that I haven't taken bad pictures, but that's no fault of the Mio. Even the bad ones come out in focus and colorful.

If you are a first time Mio buyer, I'd suggest stocking up on film. You'll have so much fun with this little guy that you'll use it much more than you think you will.

All in all, the Polaroid Mio is an incredible instant camera and well worth owning.

great camera, a little bulky
I haven't had any of the problems others had in buying film. Not only does Amazon sell the film on line, but all target stores carry the film as well. Every picture comes out really cute, and I get the full 10 exposures. The camera is a little bulky, so its not great for carrying around, but its fun for parties. The credit card size photos makes it an unique polaroid camera

for the excessively well-to-do & the ecologically oblivious
1.
film expensive for a blue-collar worker
at a dollar per picture you had better not make mistakes
2.
film difficult or well-nigh impossible to get
except online from you-know-who: amazon
shipping fee added to net cost of film unless you splurge
3.
the whole thing weighs almost a pound
yes, you CAN lug it around, but WILL you?
4.
not submersible
not sand-proof
not slam-dunk proof
not Janet Reno proof
not recyclable when the planned obsolescence kicks in
5.
further ammunition to
-render your functionally illiterate offspring MORE so
-implicate uniformed and secret police in untorward acts
-put your local minimum-wage photofinisher employee out of work

Fun Fun Fun!!
I love this camera so much! It is so easy to use and you get great wallet sized photos in an instant!

You get such good pictures with it too. Since the camera is so cute, all your friends will be smiling.

Great pictures when it works...
The camera takes really cute puctures when it works, but I only succeeded in making 4 pictures when it froze on me. The camera froze in the open position and could not be closed no matter what I did. I eventually tossed it because it gave me far more aggravation than pleasure. For example, turn it on and it stays on from 2 to 15 seconds, rather arbitrarily. You can set up a shot, and, boom!, the camera shuts down. Turn it on again and it fails to work. Shut it off, turn it on and then it might work (or not). I suspect the elecronics were not well thought out. Don't waste your money. This was an extermely frustrating experience for me!
BTW: The manual, if one can call it that, is useless. ... Read more

Very Good For Beginners But Needs More Resolution
I won a Polaroid PDC 640 Creative Kit in a contest. Given its current MSRP, I would not have purchased it due to the limited resolution (640 x 480 pixels). The market is full of digital cameras with better resolution (1-1.5 megapixels) for about the same price.

As ease of use goes, it doesn't get much better than this. You simply put in the batteries, install the SmartMedia card, turn it on, and start clicking away. In order to download the pictures you've taken the software must be installed to your computer. In response to the one reviewer who complained about the software not being compatible with certain editions of Windows, you need merely to go to Polaroids's website and download the patch for Windows 2000 or in my case, Windows XP. It took only a few minutes to download and I was soon up and running.

This camera is fairly intuitive if you have at least a working knowledge of digital cameras. I found myself only having to review the user's manual once, and it is fairly straightforward. The green flash indicator in the viewfinder makes it difficult to frame your shot as one previous reviewer noted, and aside from the limited resolution this is about the only other negative thing I can say about the camera. Although it interfaces with the computer via serial cable as opposed to the much faster USB, I haven't found this to be a major problem. I downloaded 14 pictures to my PC in only about 2-3 minutes just the night before writing this review. Picture quality is fair in the high resolution mode, good in super high resolution mode. I don't recommend using either the medium or low resolution settings.

Lastly, regarding battery life complaints I haven't found the PDC 640 to be any worse than any other digital camera. The kit includes an AC adapter which I highly recommend be used for downloads, which accounts for considerably more battery drain than actual picture taking. The resolution mode you use will also make a difference (higher resolution = more battery use).

If you're looking for an easy to use digital camera the PDC 640 is a very good choice. If you want the highest quality that digital photography has to offer, look elsewhere...but you'll have a slightly more complicated camera.

Not bad for a second camera, but...
This was the second digital camera I picked up, to replace an early one that was fine for the time, but...

The PDC640 takes decent pictures "for the web," as others have said. If that, and simple needs, are all you want, great. Do yourself a favor, though, and pick up a USB media card reader. The software and serial cable are not supported under WinXP, or on a Mac - but the images are stored on the card as .jpg files, readable anywhere. The USB reader will be *many* times faster than the serial cable, as well, and no special software is needed.

If you print the pictures (full page) you'll notice some problems - but if you're to the point of printing pictures, you'll want a higher resoution camera anyway. It also takes a LONG time to charge, and several seconds between shots to recharge. Battery life really depends on what batteries you buy - cheap ones, it'll eat like a kid with candy. Buy decent batteries (or rechargables) and they'll last a long, long time.

When the batteries are ready to go, though (1/4 left in the indicator) the pictures get awfully dark - you can see them get darker and darker. The viewscreen will, of course, eat them faster.

If you need high resolution, zoom, etc. this isn't the camera for you. For quick family pics, though, it's fine.

THE BEST LITTLE DIGITAL CAMERA IN THE WORLD !
I BOUGHT MY CAMERA TWO YEARS AGO IN A WALL MART STORE . AT THAT TIME I PAID [money] FOR IT ; I HAVE USED THIS CAM. ALOT I TAKE ALL KINDS OF PICTURES WITH IT . I LOVE IT ; I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THAT BOUGHT THE SAME CAM. AFTER THEY SEEN PICTURES I HAD TOOK WITH IT; NOW I AM E-MAILING YOUR ADD. TO ANOTHER FRIEND WHO IS GOING TO BUY ONE. (I SHOULD BE A SALES LADY FOR YOU )LOL
I HAVE THREE MEMORY CARDS AND I KEEP ONE IN MY CAM. ALL OF THE TIME; A VERY GOOD CAM. AT A VERY LOW PRICE;

Great first time camera
I bought this camera a few months ago and love it. It takes great pictures and loads to the PC easily. Only draw back is theres no zoom lens. Take a look at the pictures taken with it in my webshots pages: [website]

Bad battery life, poor driver support, serial only...
I got this for Christmas a couple years ago. The first thing I disliked was the battery life -- I'd run out by the New Year. Plus, Polaroid didn't keep up on writing drivers when Windows 2000 came out (though there is Linux/FreeBSD support via gPhoto), and the green view-finder light is annoying. Now I have a white iBook and there's basically no hope for compatibility, as my camera only came with a serial cable (not a USB cable). Polaroid's recent Chapter 11 filing probably means I won't get Mac OS X drivers any time soon (though Apple may come through in the next versions of iPhoto). If you work only work on a supported platform and like giving Energizer money, this still isn't the camera for you! ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

The Polaroid Fun! 620 digital camera offers you an economical way to take digital pictures, and is best suited for carefree snapshots. With a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, the pictures are fun-sized: ideal for e-mail and Web pages among family and friends, but inadequate for printing. Also, don't expect great levels of detail since the image quality is only fair, with a tendency to be slightly fuzzy. The built-in 1 MB memory holds 32 digital images in full 24-bit color, like a good-sized roll of film.

With autofocusing and a fixed lens, the camera is always ready to go--picture-taking simply requires you to point and shoot. This means the camera can be used by nearly anyone, of any age. The four top buttons function for power, erase, self-timer, and shutter. The 15-second timer gives you plenty of time to jump in with your friends in front of the camera. The tiny LCD screen only displays two alphanumerical characters. The default setting for the display shows the total pictures taken, but can also inform you when memory is full and the battery is low. A beep sounds when you take a picture or erase. Two LED lights beside the optical viewfinder indicate low-battery status and when the camera is on. If not in use, the camera automatically shuts off after 60 seconds to conserve battery life. On the bottom of the camera are a battery compartment for four AAA batteries (included), and a screw mount for tripod use.

The included dual-cable has the option of either USB or serial connection. This is a welcome feature for anyone with older, non-USB equipped computers, while still offering easy USB connectivity. The camera's fairly compact size and wrist strap make it easy for carrying anywhere. The plastic housing feels solid in-hand, but lacks any substantial grip or ergonomic design.

The bundled software, PhotoMax, interfaces with the camera for easy transfer of photos and more. You can crop, resize, enhance the image, and even add crazy special effects. The software catalogs your images in custom folders with thumbnails for easy photo perusing and slideshow. The file-renaming tool keeps the images identifiable with date imprinting. Through the software, you can even visit Polaroid's Web site to access helpful resources on digital photo-taking and open a free account to store and distribute photos online. The software is compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, and 2000. ... Read more

On a sunny day, with a steady hand~good enough for the price
I wanted an [inexpensive] way to take digital pics ~ after testing under a number of conditions...
The only acceptable pictures were taken outdoors in bright light with the subject 5-25 feet... greater distances (scenery) were low in detail... and a steady hand is necessary... the nicest things is the self timer ~ my niece used at cheerleading camp and was able to set it on a picnic table top & set the timer so everyone could be in the picture (about 10 feel away) & they turned out cute! Otherwise the kids took a few ok pictures ~ but most were blurred ~ you REALLY need a steady hand...

A toy, not a camera
Save your money. Poor picture quality, just not enough pixels for a decent image. A flash might make it tolerable for limited web usage, but without its only suitable for outdoor shots, and those won't be good. Light, flimsy plastic, looks and feels like its from the toy dept, not photo.

The more your budget is limited, the more research you should do to get the most for your money. Look for something w/ a flash and more pixels. There are many photo review sites to supplement the info here. And pay more attention to the reviews of people who've had the equipment longer - it's easy to have contagious enthusiasm for a brand new toy.

good starter digital
This digital takes decent pictures and even without the use of a memory card holds more than the usual digital does. My only problem is that it is not compatible with my new Windows XP...so if you don't have that version of windows you'll be fine...it's like having an easy, regular camera, but you don't have to buy film or pay for developing!

Only worked for a few months
I received a Polaroid Fun Flash Digital camera as a Christmas present in 2000. I used it infrequently until about August when it would not take or display pictures. I tried to get it repaired by Polaroid but found they have an apparent large backlog of repairs (not a surprise to me) and also had difficulty speaking to anyone. I suppose the only good thing is the price, although the trite phrase "you get what you pay for" certainly applies here. I could not recommend this camera to anyone for any purpose. ... Read more

Great basic camera
I've had mine for a week now, and it takes great pictures. Very clear, sharp, bright colours, both outdoors and with flash. LCD display is excellent, and allows you to zoom in on picture details when you're reviewing what you've shot. Also shoots nice, smooth AVI movies (though without sound).

It comes with a cable to hook it directly to a TV, which is an excellent bonus when you're visiting grandma.

It's also simple to use -- my eight- and ten-year-olds both took very good photos on their first try.

I would strongly recommend this as a digital camera for beginners, or for those who want a simple camera for quick snapshots, small prints (up to 5x7) or emailing. ... Read more

Bad news from Polaroid
I love my MIO camera and the crisp, fun-sized photos it takes (they're absolutely perfect for photographing your shoes and sticking on the shoe boxes...), but like most people, I've had an incredibly hard time finding the film. I called Polaroid today and they said it is no longer available in stores and that "management" is making a decision on what to do in the future. In other words, my 3-month-old camera may be useless soon. If you're planning to purchase the camera, don't - you might not be able to get film for it. Sorry :(

Never in stock at store.
I have checked three Target stores in a 50 mile radius and all three stores DO NOT have this film ever in stock. I purchased my camera at a Target Store in October 2002. I went to purchase film a month later and it was out of stock. So I tried other Target Stores and had the same problem. The problem still exists. If Target is going to sell a product they should stock the accessory for that product.

Mio
I bought this camera for my 12 1/2 year old daughter. The camera takes great pitures and they are the perfect size for her and her friends. I am having a really hard time finding the film where we live, that is the only complaint that I would have. For anyone that has a teen or preteen that likes to take pictures to share with there friends I would encourage you to get this camera. As we all know buying and developing film can get costly, this is a great alternative. Also, It is simple to understand and to use.

Hard to find
I love this Camera, I got it as a Christmas gift, but find it so hard to get film for. No stores in my area sell it, and now Amazon is out of stock on it. Why?

Excellent camera for special purposes.
I purchased this camera, and film, while in the Philippines and use it now in the USA. It is a fun camera, takes very good pictures, and is quite portable. Children especially love to have thier picture taken and watch the photo develop in front of their eyes. It is a great conversation tool and we have made many new friends by using this Mio. It is great! ... Read more

Worked fine with my camera and easy to load.

Fun!
i'm a photographer that has just discovered Polaroids. I love my Joycam camera and the film-- the prints you get are small but detailed and colorful. They're like small works of art. Avoid shades of gray as the film works better with sunlight even though the flash unit works really well. I like my Joycam and prints so much I've created a Polaroid journal and I use the Polaroids to illustrate my journal with daily events and the special people in my life. The problem is, when you start shooting these little pictures at parties everyone will want a copy and, at a buck a piece, it can get expensive and you'll always be out of film so stock up.

Polaroid 500 Platinum Film Single Pack
I have found this to be a quality product. It is very cheap and efficient. I enjoy using this film everyday in my Joy Camera. I would recommend this to anyone who is an avid photographer.

No...Really

Hey, it's film!
Got a good price, I'm happy. Film was fine.

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.

Love the pics
Its great for the convenience especially if youre like me and you dont want to wait for developing time however if you are travelling I would suggest a 35 mm cam instead because pictures could get ruined in packing and I find the picture quality to be a little dark As opposed to some 35mm that have a clearer brighter picture quality.

Easy Film
This is great film. The picture comes out clear and perfect everytime. I haven't had a bad picture yet. It's also easy to load into the camera. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do it either. The instant film is very good because it's comes out immediately not five days or an hour later.

Unleash your creativity!
This sticky film is really wonderful. It enhances the things you can do with the I-Zone camera and the small pictures are wonderful for little creative ideas. For example, I'm making a collage of all my friends in the theme of the Brady Bunch opening sequence, and this film and camera are perfect for that. The stickiness is perfect: not permanent, yet still strong. But, just know that you can buy the single 12-photo packs at retail stores, instead of this 3-pak. The price is decent considering the unique capabilities of the camera.

Crisp
This film is really good quality, you get crisp and colorful photos in an instant.

However, As many other people have stated, it isn't really worth the extra money for the "sticky" aspect of this film. Save some money and use it to buy more of the regular i-Zone film.

Sticky film is the best
I'm a serious fan of the i-zone and have been since it was invented, despite it being aimed at people at least fifteen years younger than me, and one of the great things about the pictures it takes is that you can stick them to things. Letters. Postcards. Journals. Foreheads. The sticky film makes this so much easier.

Note that you'll need scissors or a pocket knife to cut off the sides of the film - tearing it by hand is not that easy.

Fun and easy to use
I used the i-Zone sticky film at my wedding for our guest book. We took pictures of our guests and put them in the guest book so they could sign next to their picture. It was a nice way to not just see names, but also faces.

The film was great. The only thing I would like is if it were easier to cut the picture from the excess paper. It was a pain to have to cut each picture. It would have been nice if it were perferated or something to not have to use scissors.

perfect!

Not so great
Sadly, I didn't find the Fortune Film to be up to par to Polaroid's reputation. The colors are not as crisp with the Fortune Film as with the regular and the sticky i-Zone film.

I do not feel that this film is worth the extra money you'll pay, but it's fun for a one time purchase to read the fortunes.

Horrible
When I saw this product online I thought it would be pretty awsome to get it off amozon, but that was a huge,horrible,bad, mistake I made! When the flim came I put in my izone camra and got ready to take my first picture! When I did it took like 5 min. to get the stupid flim to turn up. When the picture was finished I noticed there was 3 things wrong with this picture. One thing wrong was that I couldn't tell who I took a picture of at all. Two was that the color was all faded, and It was not really bright at all. The last problem was that after I took another picture it was totally blank, and yellow! I recommend getting the Polaroid i-Zone Sticky Pocket Film! I recommend this film because it has no blank pictures, tons of color, and you can autually tell who is the person in the picture! I hope my review was helpful to you, and please do not buy the Fortune teller film even if it looks cool beleive me I had the experience!:)

ok-ness
well, its great they have fortunes on them but they arent really fortunes..the dont even go with the pic.. i took a practice pic or my wall and it said "holy hair!" does that count as a fortune?hm but it is sticky and the 'fortunes' are quite cute

Amazon.com Product Description

The Polaroid JoyCam is a revision of the instant camera design that made Polaroid famous. It has a small body in comparison to its bulky predecessors and offers a frame counter and built-in selectable flash with a flash-ready light. Easy enough for a child to use, the Polaroid JoyCam operates with the push of a single button--no focusing necessary.

The design feature that sets the Polaroid JoyCam apart from other instant cameras is its film delivery system--or lack of one. Traditional instant cameras relied on film cartridges with built-in batteries to enable the camera to expel each shot; however, this model works without a battery. Instead, users pull a plastic ring on the side of the camera to extract the exposed frame. This manual process enables Polaroid to offer a lighter camera body and compatible instant film cartridges at a more reasonable price.

The Polaroid JoyCam takes pictures at a range of three feet to infinity. It works with Polaroid 500 instant film and produces pictures that measure 4.4 by 2.5 inches, which is slightly smaller than traditional Polaroid shots. ... Read more

Buy a lot of film because half of the pics will underexpose
Some pictures don't come out at all, some come out ok, and some have to of one person's face.

Most expensive bad photos EVER
If I could rate this product with a zero I would. I purchased this item, with 11 rolls of film, for our wedding reception so guests could have someone take a snapshot of themselves and put in the guest book with their well-wishes, a great idea I have seen work wonderfully at other receptions. Except that I chose the joycam instead of the standard polaroid - BAD CHOICE! First of all the camera was difficult to operate and people had trouble with the film jamming, etc. Because the film had been taken out of the boxes to put out on the guest book table none of it is returnable - and byt he time we returned from our honeymoon and had any time to contend with the issue, the whole lot had been in our hands for more than 30 days thus unreturnable. Basically, don't ever buy this product, or any other product by polaroid that isn't it's basic one-step instamatic...just a huge waste of time and money and hugely dissapointing if you are planning to use it for a once in a lifetime event at which it breaks after just a few shots.

Joycam- what fun!
I just got a Joycam, and think it is great fun. Its a fairly big camera, but not at all compared to other polaroids. Its still small enough to take out with you anyhow. And If you've never had a polaroid (I haven't) its great fun to watch the photos developing too.

Its fun!
I've had my JoyCam for a year now and its become a regular feature at parties. My friends love it and so do I. Now it doesn't replace having real photos which I still take...and you can't do anything fancy with it...but it is fun! Looking from the logical side - the camera itself is quite cheap and the film relatively expensive - about $... for 10 pictures. The camera is lightweight plastic, fairly large in size and not at all high tech.....but looking from a purely fun factor I love it! You get instant pictures at parties and I scan them and share them with friends the next day so we all have copies. The novelty value still hasn't worn off with my friends...perhaps we're just easy to please :-)

Not complaining
This is my first Polaroid and suits me just fine, for a very good price. The pictures are smallish, about 2.5-3.0 inches by 2 inches. The quality is fair, fine for everday shots. ... Read more
