Should you really "shake it like a
Polaroid picture?"
Ever since the song "Hey Ya" by Andre 3000 of Outkast came out, everyone
is shaking their Polaroid pictures. Shaking or waving a Polaroid picture
to help the development process originated in the early days of peel-apart
film.
After peeling the negative, the image
needed to dry before it could be handled, so waving the photo helped it to
dry more quickly. When using the integral films (600, Spectra, 500,
SX-70/Time-Zero, i-Zone) that are used in our most popular current camera
models (Polaroid One, OneStep, JoyCam, etc.), the image develops and dries
behind a clear plastic window and never touches the air, so shaking or
waving has no effect.
In fact, excessive shaking or waving can
actually damage the image. Rapid movement during development can cause
portions of the film to separate prematurely, or can cause "blobs" in the
picture. The best way to ensure a perfectly developed image is to simply
lay the picture on a flat surface immediately after it exits the camera.

Mediocre-- Not Suited for a Serious Photographer., April 4, 2006
Reviewer: The Gutless Wonder
If you are looking to own an inexpensive polaroid camera for nostalgic
purposes or to have fun with, then I would highly recommend this camera.
Otherwise, opt to spend a bit more. As stated before, the color contrast
in photographs is terrible. Colors are murky, dull, and inaccurate to
life.
Subjects are constantly blurry-- particularly if the shot is taken closer
than 2 or 3 feet. Yet if there is a significant distance between the
camera and the subject, it loses all definition.
Indoor pictures are a waste of film because the flash is extremely weak.
And this model does not have a self timer.
The only reason that I am not rating this camera as a single star is
because it is somewhat redeemed by it's look and feel. It is lightweight,
compact, and modern.

A pretty sweet camera, February 19, 2006
Reviewer: Demosthenes "Jane"
Yeah, Sweet camera. It was basically ready out of the box once I added the
film. Every
body thinks it's really cool. It's great to
have the instant photos, so real and so tangible. Each picture is one of a
kind.
This camera works great, but I noticed at night that the pictures are a
little dark if the subject is more than 5-6 feet away, but for the price I
think It's a pretty good deal.
Be aware that the film is expensive, it comes out to about a dollar a
photo. Othewise it's Great!

Polaroid One600, January 29, 2006
Reviewer: C. Hamilton
The camera does what it is supposed to do--take photos. It is best when
used close up and in bright(er) light. When using flash, the subject
should be in "pretty good" light to begin with. This camera isn't for
landscapes nor close-ups (such as flower blossoms).
