What's in the Box
Polaroid One600 Ultra Instant Camera, wrist strap, one-year limited warranty 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.

 Of the one600 lineup, this is the best value. February 4, 2005

This year, Polaroid finally advances its design of the popular instant camera line-up. The one600 models pack alot of picture taking ease and instant gratification in their newly compact folding shape. Unlike last generation's Polaroid One, the new models have a practical range of automatically set shutter speeds, expanding the picture taking capabilities tremendously. Of the four one600 models, its the JobPro that offers the best bang-for-buck. For less than the cost of a twin pack of film, it piles on features like self-timer, red-eye reduction flash, superior dust intrusion protection, and importantly, a lighten/darken control. This last feature has been dropped from many Polaroid models, but with the narrower contrast range of instant print film (compared to conventional color negative material) it can make a big difference in the acceptability of your final result. All these features can also be found in the one600 Pro, and many might prefer that camera's black and chrome appearance to the JobPro's rubberized black and yellow scheme - but for about the same money, the one600 JobPro trumps its stablemates with a final feature: a lifetime warantee. If you're in the market for a compact instant camera, the one600 JobPro is the model to choose.
Finally, let me add that the current crop of digital cameras may make many consumers question the need for Polaroid instant cameras. I own and use both, and while digital cameras are unbeatable for their options and manipulation capabilities, they can't match the ease of use and genuine spontenaity of a Polaroid: any five- or seventy-five-year old can use one. A Polaroid 600 (or Spectra or 500) print is water proof, and has a durability and fade-resistance that ink-jet prints can't match. Polaroid prints also have a unique liquid quality (by virtue of their self-contained chemical make-up) that no other media reproduces; they also seem more 'genuine' than the prints that emerge from an ink-jet. Digital cameras have their place, but Polaroids haven't become obsolete yet. And if you need to e-mail that Polaroid?- that's one reason God gives us scanners.
Great results from a 'construction' camera June 25, 2002

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.
Why a timer.....if there is no tripod socket?? December 19, 2005

There are two things i dislike about the One 600 ultra. Other than that.....I think it is a great value for the money.
First off....why have a self timer......and not include a socket on the bottom of the camera to put it on a tripod??....The Polaroid One had the tripod socket feature...and i miss it very much on this camera.
Secondly...i dislike the fact that there is no way to turn off the flash. There are times (like taking pictures of Christmas lights) that you only want ambient light included in your pictures.
A pretty sweet camera February 19, 2006

Yeah, Sweet camera. It was basically ready out of the box once I added the film. Everyobody thinks it's really cool. It's great to have the instant photos, so real and so tangible. Each picture is one of a kind.
This camera works great, but I noticed at night that the pictures are a little dark if the subject is more than 5-6 feet away, but for the price I think It's a pretty good deal.
Be aware that the film is expensive, it comes out to about a dollar a photo. Othewise it's Great!
 Price-gouging! January 31, 2008

This is a nice little camera -- in the process of being discontinued. BUT the price here is OUTRAGEOUS. You can probably find it at a nearby CVS or Duane Reade or Target for about $40.
Get it for a good price and it's tremendous fun, especially for kids. They get a real kick out of seeing the picture develop before their eyes -- just can't be beat by a digital camera.
The pictures are _not_ of the quality of a decent point-and-shoot digital camera, but how many digital cameras cost $40 and how many give pictures _instantly_? And the Polaroid pics have a quality of their own which is hard to find in the digital world.
As of mid-March, the word is that _no one_ is interested in licensing the Polaroid technology (though Polaroid has indicated that they are happy to license it out). So the downside is that film will disappear, but the upside is that these cameras will not see the popularity of, say, Diana cameras. That means they should become _less_ expensive. One way or another, do not pay the thieves at Toyzz $160. Check e-Bay or anywhere first.
