poor color and contrast, September 29, 2005
Reviewer: E. Milkes
You can't beat the immediacy of the Polaroid cameras, but I was
disappointed by how poor the color is in the snapshots - very washed out -
and the contrast is also pretty bad. A slightly different model of the
One600 that we got for my son a year ago was much better.

Polaroid one 600 instant camera ultra, May 15, 2005
Reviewer: Patricia Dinse "Patti"
I purchased this camera because of the promise of great, portrait quality
prints, sharp image, 2 foot focus, etc. and am soundly disappointed. The
quality of the prints is TERRIBLE-- fuzzy, no detail, etc. (and I am not a
perfectionist!!) It feels cheap, the paper is expensive-- which I could
accept if the quality were slightly above average-- but I consider this a
TOTAL waste of money

Of the one600 lineup, this is the best value., February 3, 2005
Reviewer: Matthew Phillips
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.

Best item over price?, August 13, 2004
Reviewer: L. K. Shing
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.

Best instant camera although it's my first, July 6, 2004
Reviewer: catch the flow
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 here one.
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! and great! 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 recommend it
