Summary: Instant gratification with a few caveats
Review: As advertised on TV and true to the original, the Polaroid I-Zone is instant fun and simple to use.

Even better, the plastic camera is fairly inexpensive (about $20) and really cool looking (think: VW Bug meets the iMac). Image quality and exposure are surprising good for a tiny plastic lens. In addition, the I-Zone comes with a built-in flash.

The caveats:

1. The film is expensive (about $5/shot!) which really adds up after awhile. 2. The prints are really really small (postage stamp size). 3. No negatives, so forget about making re-prints. 4. It leaks (somewhat) caustic goo on you.

All told, think of it as a toy and give it a whirl. For $20, you can't lose.

Summary: This thing is SOO MUCH FUN AND WORTH EVERYTHING
Review: haha, this is so easy to use, and cheap, worth it, quality pictures, and sticky so you can do so many stupid things. my girlfriend bought me a stuffed animal for our anniversary, so i took a sticker picture of it and put it in my wallet. i let my friend take a picture of his face, and then the back of his head, and stuck them both together onto a stick. soo much fun, soo easy, easy to use, and stylin

Summary: This is the BEST Camera Made!!!
Review: I bought this Camera and it is the coolest thing for kids and teens. Its also v. cool cuz Its the Official Camera of Britney Spears. The coolest artist around. Take pictures, stick them anywhere you want, old people get totally confused when you pull the picture out (which is one of the most fun things about it) and u can give em to your friends or whoever you want. It rocks. 10/10

Summary: Polaroid I Zone Camera
Review: I love my I Zone camera, but what I don't like about it is that the film isn't very good. What I mean is, it's sharp and everything, but the sticky stuff on the back isn't very durable. Also, it's about 50 cents a shot. I'm 12 years old, so that's a bit expensive for me. Another thing is, I can only find sticky film. The closest place to my house I could find non sticky film was 5 miles away (and I can't even drive yet) But that's not something to judge the camera by.) I would recomend the camera to anyone who's under 15.

Summary: Piece of junk.
Review: I often buy this as a gift, especially for the 8-12 year old group. It's easy to use and the pictures aren't bad - they're about 1 X 1 1/2 inches and have the same fuzzy flattering quality of the regular size Polaroids. The film isn't cheap, though, and after the kids run through the measly 5 picture roll that's included, Mom and Dad or older kids with allowances get to shell out close to [price] for another 3-roll pack (12 pictures each). But it is fun and kids of all ages love it.

Summary: Fun camera!
Review: I've had my i-zone camera since they first came out, and I constantly use it (when I can afford the film, that is!). I've bought a few more for friends as gifts, and everyone seems to enjoy them. The i-zone camera is a fun thing to take small pictures with, and the sticky film is awesome!

Summary: Fun, simply fun
Review: No big promises here other than this will add enjoyment to trips, vacations, big dinners, etc -- it is portable candy. It is also a good to have around the house in the way that it is good to have a roll of electrical tape -- it comes in handy for doing odd jobs like a kid's class project that reqs pictures, etc. The film is about $8 for 12 exp -- a little less than a buck a print. Even if you factor in the cost of printing regular film this still has a premium, but it isn't too bad, you get the pictures instantly. All the negatives are only negatives if you use this like a traditional camera. The purpose here is fun.

Pluses: - Light, easy to bring anywhere; Instant film; Cheap; Good for kids (no worries)

Negs: - Prints are small (large postage stamp); No negatives (one print only), very 'of the moment'

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Take it as a toy
Review: Now it's not the type of camera you'd take on family vacations! It's perfect for children/teenagers who like to take pictures of friends etc. The film is pricy but $20 isn't bad for the camera. The "prints" are tiny. You have to get semi-personal with the person you're taking the picture of, meaning to get a good size headshot...you'd have to get pretty close. The flash is a bit overpowering, but if you just take it as a toy, then you won't be too disappointed.

Summary: Piece of junk.
Review: Picture quality is consistently extremely poor. Very small image. Film is over priced. Camera breaks extremely easily. Images do not scan well even on a high quality scanner. I think the product is mostly just a gimick and a fad which I hope disappears quickly. I recieved one for free as a prize in a contest at a web site. Tried it out, and I think it's completely useless. I would not even purchase as a gift for someone. Reguardless as to how much they want it except to satisfy curiosity. It will most likely end up either collecting dust or being sold at garage sales for a penny. However, if it goes out of production quickly enough maybe they'll become collectables.
