Vintage gift!
I bought this for my sister, who is obsessed with 90's paraphernalia, and it was a great gift. Very easy to use and inexpensive for the great condition it came in. I was really happy when I received it in the mail. These cameras were really awesome, and the only downside is the cost of film. But a great idea for a 90's kid.

Don't buy this camera no film for it
Piece was broken. Loaded film and camera would not spit out picture after pushing the button and following instructions on how to advance the film. Thankfully didn't pay very much for this camera!

Still fun. Film is tough to find.

Fun but not for V.I.P. (very important photos)
The concept is cool, and the camera is fun for kids/teens or parties. It is particularly suited to close-ups for the best picture quality. However, I want to warn people that (unless they have changed the chemical makeup of the film over the years) the polaroid pictures do NOT age well. We have some pictures taken when we were kids 20 years ago with polaroid film. The pictures are ruined b/c the "paste" or whatever the picture is composed of turns brittle, and if you bend the picture even slightly, the image cracks all throughout the surface like a mini jigsaw puzzle. It's heartbreaking to lose irreplacable photos like these because the integrity of the film deteriorates over the years. Whether or not the film Polaroid uses today will do the same two decades from now, I guess remains to be seen. But **JUST IN CASE** I would NOT recommend using a Polaroid camera for photos that will be precious to you in the future! In summary, if you want quick photo enjoyment, this will do fine but be sure to bring a "regular" 35 mm camera to that wedding, birthday, or family reunion in addition to this!!
