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.

 An interesting, inexpensive instant camera. April 28, 2001

I got this camera the other day, about a half an hour before I was to go out with friends. In only about 3 minutes, I had already snapped off my first shot. The JoyCam is incredibly easy to use, however, it may be so easy that you'll accidentally set it off. I'm disappointed with its bulky body as it makes it a little hard to just slip it out of your backpack or purse, but its form may be actually advantageous for smaller hands and fingers. The picture quality is what I had expected for a Polaroid camera of the suggested price. I took shots of a building from a speeding car and still pictures close-up, and the quality remained consistant. The images came out pretty clear, although the color quality after using the flash leaves something to be desired. All in all, I'm happy with this purchase. Instant photographs are a novelty in itself, and the JoyCam makes it easy on your wallet.
 Most expensive bad photos EVER February 4, 2003

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.

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.

Hi!... I rate this item 4 stars because i feel taht since this item has no customer review they must think it's very bad. I think that if you are the type of persont aht loses EVERYTHING then this is the thing for you. you can NOT lose this...it its impossible. it's bulkyness combined with it's insistant whining after taking a picture can remind you of it's place. thank you for reading!
Its fun! January 23, 2002

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 :-)
