Polaroid One-Step Kit - NO LONGER AVAILABLE

The Polaroid OneStep 600 Express camera uses Polaroid 600 Platinum film to produce 3.13-by-3.13-inch exposures. The Polaroid OneStep Express camera kit contains a OneStep 600 Express camera, a camera bag, and Polaroid 600 Platinum film so you can get started snapping pictures right away.

But a funny thing happened when I was learning Photoshop.Needing images to work on, I scanned in my crappy snapshots at a fairly high resolution and was amazed at what appeared on my screen.Then I played with color,contrast,levels,etc.You can probably get the same results with any of the cheaper photo editting programs that are out there.

This only seems to be true for daylight pics.Everything I've taken after dark sucks because of the damn automatic flash.
Recently I tried a pack of the black and white film and the results were really cool.The camera itself cost about 30 bucks,but without a scanner and software the pics are pretty worthless.However it is incredibly easy to use and you can usually find good deals on the film which is available everywhere (for now anyway)The B/W film is a little harder to find,but worth it.

And I'll even admit to sneaking up on my sleeping cat for a candid close up...the motor whirrs as the camera spits out the picture and the puzzled look on his face is priceless.


Very good for an instant camera   April 24, 2001

This camera is relatively easy to use and the pictures are very good quality. I think it's important to remember that these cameras are for fun spontaneous moments like at parties and trips to amusement parks. It's an "INSTANT" camera and it does it's job very well.

I forgot to add that I had a heck of a time understanding the flash business on the manual. My pictures came out pretty good. Pretty surprised for a Polaroid. The case is kind of cool-turns into a fanny pack which is perfect for a busy parent who needs both hands.


Pretty Good!   July 17, 2000

This is a good camera if you like taking pictures and if you don't like waiting to get your pictures developed, especially for the price. The pictures aren't amazing, but they are pretty good for an instant camera. There is, obviously, a flash button but there's also a switch that you change according to how far away you are from the object you want to photograph. However, the manual is really confusing. Everything is demonstrated with an illustration and it's pretty difficult to figure out the part about the flash (I'm sure they couldn't just write it because there are so many languages that they wrote the warranty in!). But this is a great camera (and you get a box of film and a case with the kit)and I'd recommend it. But also, the film is expensive so use your pictures wisely!
