Polaroid i-Zone

I always wanted a poloroid camera as a youth! When i saw this camera i was so excited - its cheap and easy to use and also great fun! I bought it whilst at university and it was the cause of so much fun! SNapping all my housemates and having instant ( if small) reminders of our fun and frolics! The pictures have a peel off back which reveals a sticker pad - so you can display your art work where ever you like! So much fun! They are also wallet sized and I still - 5 years on carry these small pictures in my wallet! So much fun to have with this little ...  Read the complete review

When I was little I remember we had a Polaroid camera, which my dad always got out on Special Occasions. It was a massive black box and it took several hours to set up (although that could have been just because my dad was doing it!) I grew up thinking Polaroids were a bit naff and so did a large proportion of the population. Polaroid gained an image that was a bit sleazy. It was the camera you used to take the sort of photos that you didnt exactly want the staff at Boots looking at when you got them developed. That was until it gave itself a dramatic makeover in line with the 'naughty Noughties' and suddenly Instant Cameras were cool! ...  Read the complete review

My oldest son, who is eight years old, received a Harry Potter photo album for his Christmas. Showing a remarkable degree of cunning, he waited until I had consumed just enough food and drink to be semi-comatose before he demanded his very own camera. Needless to say, for the sake of a quiet life, I agreed – as long as he would share it with his little brother (4). So off we went, a couple of days later, to the sales to look for a suitable camera. As we have a drawer full of undeveloped films, and also so that the kids would see the fruits of their labours instantly, we decided that a Polaroid would be the best option. We looked at the standard Polaroids ...  Read the complete review

Polaroid I-Zone Cameras cost around £18 from Boots. I bought mine a while ago when they were only available in red, blue or green, but since then the range of colours has widened. Some of the newer ones even come with changeable covers like mobile phones do. I-Zones are easy to load, but I nearly always spoil the first picture of each film. After you've taken your picture (adjust the flash setting and hit a button), you have to pull out a strip of paper. Your photograph is in the middle of it - after it's developed, you have to cut off the excess paper. Be careful to follow the marked lines though or you run the risk of leaking caustic paste. (Not good.) ...  Read the complete review

This is a for fun gadget, in bright colours and entirely kiddy oriented. An ideal gift that provides hours of fun The label sized, self adhesive photos, become a decoration for excersize books, pecil cases etc., giving irefutable proof of ownership. The gadget (hard to call it a camera) is easy to use and gives instant gratification. The downside is the expense of the film/photos. That is true of all instant cameras. The camera is cheap, the film is expensive. With the advent of digital cameras the instant camera is losing it's usefulness. Assessors, previously the main users of instant cameras have gone digital.
