Polaroid Essentials Box

Very nice camera and I can't wait to take a lot of beautiful pictures

The quality of the photos is terrible. They're dark with or without the flash. I tried taking them in different rooms and outside, and the quality is simply poor. I wanted to love this camera. No one has printed photos anymore, and I thought it would be fun for my high school senior to use.

very great pictures! develop really fast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly had very high hopes for this but this didn’t really deliver what I had expected. I love the camera itself but not so much the quality…..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera takes some really clear and clean pictures. The battery life is good it's cool because it comes with a USB and a handy lanyard for your hand It also comes with flash, so pictures will come out brighter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This easy to use instant camera is fun to use. Perfect for vacations and parties! As if I needed another way to take pictures of my favorite family member this camera definitely brought back the nostalgia of Polaroid!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using my polaroid camara. The picture quality is great. The camara is very user friendly, easy to use. Love that I can carry it with me. Used it on a trip out with my sister and captured some really nice pics.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Polaroid Now gen 2 camera is cute, portable, and pretty study! The essentials box came with everything needed to get started, including a thick neck strap that made me feel better carrying around. I would recommend testing the camera out as my first few photos came out darker then I would have liked. The instructions are easy to follow and the power cord came with the camera! It doesn’t come with a charging box and uses a C-Port.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i love this product! it came with so many different items. I like the photo album book and the magnet strips. i wish it came with more film because im almost out already but the camera is super high quality and the pictures look great! would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, taking photos with the Polaroid Now Gen 2 is an enjoyable and unique photograph experience in today's digital, instant gratification age. Waiting for the film to develop adds to the fun and anticipation to se how the photo turned out! * I wish the film door had a lock on it though, to prevent accidental opening of the compartment which can expose the top sheet of your film, rendering it useless. * When taking photos, the flash will fire by default unless turned off by pressing the flash button. After taking a photo without flash it will be re-enabled for the next shot unless you disable the flash until you power off the camera by double pressing the flash button. * In double-exposure mode, If you're not ready to take the second exposure right away, you can turn the camera off and it will continue where you left off when you turn it on again which is pretty cool. This mode lets you be more creative by combining different subjects, backgrounds, and patterns for interesting and unique outcomes * The built-in flash is super bright but still requires the photographer to be relatively close to the subject in order to be effective. The minimum focal distance for the lens is at least 1.8 ft and anything closer than that will likely appear out of focus. * While the camera is advertised as a point-and-shoot instant camera, there is a bit of a learning curve, and I found that it takes a little bit of practice and trial and error to produce good prints. However, the cost per print of the film can make this an expensive lesson. You also need to wait at least 10-15 minutes after taking the photo and keep it facedown or in a dark place as it develops. * I found that outdoors in bright lighting produces the photos with the best contrast, though can still look a little washed out. In medium to low lighting the photos tend to appear dark if your flash isn't close enough to your subject. Most of the ones that l've taken with the first film pack have a slightly green cast to them and occasionally have chemical bleed crackles or dark grayish streaks appear along the edges of the photo frame. If you're looking for consistent crisp, sharp, digital precision, this is not the camera for you. The vintage look and feel of these photos will definitely be the selling point for creators, artists, and enthusiasts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came with literally everything you need. the photo album is super cute the color that comes in the pictures is like vintage colors which I love!! 10/10 super easy to use came with instructions with pictures and it make it more easily to use so you won’t be worried also it is rechargeable and has a flash if you want to use it. (In my opinion the pictures looked better without flash )

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE Polaroid products and this one is no exception. I was so excited to get this camera in my hands. As a photographer I have had a long standing love for Polaroid. Why ever gets tired of seeing your photo instantly like that in a tangible matter? This camera is easy to use, easy to reload the film, feels good in your hands. I love the vintage feel the design has and that it takes the larger film even furthering those old school Polaroid vibes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to have ploraroids avaiable during my wedding events just to have a little bit of fun and as take home keepsakes. It was a blast, and took us back to our childhoods! It was interactive and had everyone shake it shake it like a Polaroid picture… it was easy for the kids and grandparents to use. Was definitely worth it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a modern version of a classic camera from my childhood. I've had so much fun using it and capturing vintage-looking shots of my friends and life! This box comes with everything you need except a case: the camera, two packs of film, neck strap, small album, and magnetic display stars. The images that come out aren't high-quality photos, but the grainy, vintage look is part of the charm of a Polaroid. Just make sure you have decent lighting or the flash turned on! The camera itself is a sleek version of the Polaroid cameras from my childhood, and I love the look and (light) weight of it. I highly recommend this box for a fun way to capture memories with a vintage vibe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera lived up to my expectations. It has a cool retro vibe, it's easy to use, and I like that there is a flash and a timer. The only thing I'd consider a setback is the high price of the film for only 8 exposures.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Polaroid is just honestly a great camera and So much fun to use !! Very easy to put the film in and just aim and shoot !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is just like my mother's old camera of course the look is different but it definitely takes me back to my childhood I love this camera the photos come out great it's easy to use i definitely recommend everyone to get this camera it is amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This box includes everything that you need for the polaroid camera. My 12 year old son has been using it. It’s his first camera and he loves the instant result. Love the quality! I will definitely buy this for my nephew and recommend to friends and family!

Cute but the film/photo quality is awful. Pictures are too dark/blurry. You’re supposed to let film develop for about 20-30 min away from any light which we did and still ended up with blurry/unusable photos.
