The camera was purchased as a gift. While searching, I ended up with this one and not Fuji due to the brand and the size of the photo. The only objective negative is the expensive films. In my search, I was greatly impressed by the diametrically opposed reviews. Either very satisfied users or very dissatisfied ones. Ultimately, after trying the product, I concluded my initial thought: the users with negative reviews bought something they probably didn’t understand what exactly it is and what its purpose is.

If you are looking for a camera with high resolution of a modern digital camera, clarity, performance, and so on, DO NOT GET IT, you will be disappointed. Polaroids are something specific, a lifestyle product that does very well what it promises, it takes instant photos with the same timeless quality of an instant photo, the same resolution, the same blur, with all the vintage elements.

Look at it simply: is it reasonable for an analog camera that costs €130 and prints by itself to produce the same quality photo as a digital one or a phone that costs many times more and is printed on a separate specialized printer? Categorically no.

The machine is great for what it offers. It is a lifestyle product and is set to take photos with an Instagram-type filter. Anyone who bought it for realistic photos with natural light did a bad market research and wasted their money indeed, but it is their own fault for not knowing what they were getting and not the fault of the machine.

It is the worst purchase one can make. ALL the shots - whether on auto or manual with the app - are COMPLETELY wrong in terms of lighting (either overexposed or underexposed). Money wasted. Stay away

It's amazing, I'm thrilled! I've taken about 60 pictures in just a few days! The image quality is really nice, just what I was expecting!
