Film-Camera Reviews

I read the reviews for the i-zone camera and film...grainy pictures, pictures too small, the sticky doesn't "stick", blah, blah, blah. I considered not buying it, but decided to give it a go anyway...and I am so glad I did! The pictures, when taken close up, turn out just grand! They are quite a conversation piece as well...I have them on my desk at work, in my wallet, and on my backpack. (Even on my grandma's wheelchair. She's in her eighties and she can decipher the pictures just fine...so clearly when taken well they aren't too small.) I've had one or two pictures not develop...but that can be expected, I suppose. This is great fun!

We used the Polaroid i-zone and sticky film for a friend's wedding - as the entries for the guest book/scrapbook, and the results were really cute. I would highly recommend it for fun projects. Next use: to create a group portrait of co-workers (tomorrow). I love this thing!!! NOTE: my only complaint is that when you cut the film stickers, some of the polaroid white gooey chemical stuff they tell you not to touch gets all over your fingers - even if you cut along the dotted line. Make sure if kids use this that they know NOT to put their fingers in their mouth after cutting the photos.

When I first saw the I-zone camera at such a low price, I was quite startled. I thought it was a one-time use camera and the package designers made a mistake and forgot to mention it. But when I got the I-zone Instant (non-digital) camera, I discovered it was an ordinary multi-use camera with replaceable film and all that. I took about 13 pictures the first day I had it, it is so much fun! One of the VERY BEST PARTS is that the film cartridges, when empty, can be used to store the pictures you have taken! It is so cool! The variable-intensity flash uses 2 AA batteries, you need not buy photo batteries. You can get a hand-held portable scanner called the Webster to scan your pictures (and ANY other small object) into your PC. This is the best camera and film.
