Polaroid i-Zone Pocket Instant Camera (Silver Edition)

Summary: good novelty camera
Review: The Polaroid i-zone is the same camera despite the surface color: the newer silver edition just looks sleeker than the older green, blue, and red versions. I've found the i-zone to be a good icebreaker at parties: they're fun to use and their novelty generates interest with other people. The mini i-zone Polaroids (no bigger than 2"x 2") develop out from the camera right away, just like regular Polaroids; so you can immediately share them with friends and family. In low-light conditions, when the camera flash is necessary, the i-zone can only photograph well no further than 1-2 feet away. For treasured photographic memories, this definitely isn't the camera to use: the photographic quality isn't the greatest. Also, the film (which also comes in sticker form) is pretty expensive. On the other hand, the i-zone is designed to use two regular "AA" sized batteries, not expensive camera batteries. For fun purposes, the i-zone is a great camera. Kids, teens, and adults that are kids at heart would like this item.
