Summary: Great results from a 'construction' camera
Review: 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.

Summary: best instant camera although it's my first
Review: ok. even though i didn't have much info. about this product, i really needed an instant camera
and other products at amazon were not very tempting or pretty.
so i had no better choice than to just purchase this.

i've been using this camera for about a week. and i've taken about 15 pictures[trying to save films]
and the results are just beautifully fine! some of the pictures
are just so lovely with great color and texture. also self-timer is really useful.
but i really never used red-eye preventing button yet. but i assume that's also helpful

if you want to check how the picture would look, look in here:

so if you're trying to buy an instant camera and don't know what to buy,
try this one. other cameras are too cheap or too expensive
this camera is just right amount of money to spend with great results!

i greatly recommned it ^-^

Summary: Best item over price?
Review: Over filtering, and considered various colors, I believe this is the camera that suits me the most. Polaroid makes the best instant camera. And One600 series is also the best item considering the price and the quality of its pictures.

Summary: For the guy who has everything...
Review: This camera is a great idea for someone who has everything, and who likes to do home improvement projects and keep track of them. It's quick to use, and has great space for reference for each project. And, it's easy enough to use to document little parts of each individual project, to see the details necessary. I'd recommend it for a home improvement buff who is hard to buy for.

Summary: Of the one600 lineup, this is the best value.
Review: 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.
