Polaroid Silver/Blue JoyCam Instant Camera Features

Additional Polaroid Silver/Blue JoyCam Instant Camera Information

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.

What Customers Say About Polaroid Silver/Blue JoyCam Instant Camera:

Some pictures don't come out at all, some come out ok, and some have to of one person's face.

First of all the camera was difficult to operate and people had trouble with the film jamming, etc. Except that I chose the joycam instead of the standard polaroid - BAD CHOICE. 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. 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. 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.

Its a fairly big camera, but not at all compared to other polaroids. And If you've never had a polaroid (I haven't) its great fun to watch the photos developing too. I just got a Joycam, and think it is great fun. Its still small enough to take out with you anyhow.

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 :-) for 10 pictures. Looking from the logical side - the camera itself is quite cheap and the film relatively expensive - about $. My friends love it and so do I. I've had my JoyCam for a year now and its become a regular feature at parties. 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. 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.

The pictures are smallish, about 2.5-3.0 inches by 2 inches. This is my first Polaroid and suits me just fine, for a very good price. The quality is fair, fine for everday shots.
