[perlamfg30]

Where can i buy it :) ?

[elPajolero]

@perlamfg30 ebay!

[Eszra]

I want one of these things!

[ANNIEkkpp]

Hey so can i just clear this up once and for all ? Are you able to use the fujifulm cartridge in the polaroid camerqs as well as the polaroid cartridges? and is the fujifilm one cheaper? haha thanks x

[Shayanderson5]

I was curious what this looked like. Looks like a space camera. Ugly as hell. Rather stick with my older ones

[msparkheeyoung]

how much for a camera? it is only for $90??

[spirituallady4eva]

I remembered the old polaroid 600 cameras from my 80s childhood. I loved them then and since hearing they have done a new version-i thought i had to have one. Thanks for uploading this.

[xxRevemy]

where and how can i buy films i live in Emirates .. i bought the camera from london ...

[xxRevemy]

i bought the same one i loaded the film i took several photos none of them showed up all of them are blank white .. please help me what to do :(

[TechliciousMedia]

@xxRevemy It's possible the film was bad. Try another pack and see if that works. The Polaroid film may be hard to find in the UAE, but you can use the FujiFilm - it is probably more common there.

[SarahShahbazi]

@xxRevemy ahhh!u see when u first take the picture its balnk white but u have to flick it around actually place it under your armpit!!

[t3gan]

It's like she took the script directly from the British review I just watched.

[TechliciousMedia]

@t3gan Yep, that's what we do. Steal scripts from those "British reviews". The fact that our review was the first on YouTube and has by far the most views is just part of our sneaky plot to steal other people's thunder.

[xorzemina]

Has it been tested that the Fujifilm packs actually work with the Polaroid 300? Like do we know for sure it will work?

[jiankyara]

@xorzemina yes it does! I just tried it with mine

[jojacool1997]

I want one ....

[stephay100]

can you use 300 film on a polaroid 600camera

[terracottatube]

The soft focus is due to the LENS not the film. Polaroid film is capable of amazing sharpness, given a good lens in front of it

[micamendez]

Where did you get the paper?

[agathadichoso]

is there any ink cartridge needed for the camera??



[MissGawJess1]

you can use the fujifilm in the polaroid :)

[HOYJelly]

:O you can use fujifilm in this too?

[koekje00005]

polaroid pwns,no matter wat

[534speedo]

0:10 it sounds like she said 7 ASS !!!! lol

[kialn]

r the printouts really thick?

[PurpleToilets]

why do they make the prints so small... make them bigger

[saadamiens]

can you record movies with this polaroid and then print it ? thank you

[TechliciousMedia]

@saadamiens No, it doesn't take movies. It's not a digital camera, it's an analog camera (i.e., it uses film).

[fleetfoxes2010]

@saadamiens print a movie?!?!??? hahhahaha yay for intelligence

[Puppetchimera]

@saadamiens You're such a dumbass mainstream bitch.

[traciedathfilms]

@saadamiens LOL

[rockisbetter]

its ok that its small people, the only difference, is that we will have to use a MAGNIFYING GLASS to look the albums

[Palomablanca1978]

check out the gl30 polaroid instead

[icheffjj]

$1 for 1 freakin print???!!?!!?

AHHHH!!!

Lilo from Lilo & Stich must be loaded!!

[Mhicc831]

Can anyone suggest which Polaroid camera is the best????

[cazattack23]

how does each print cost a dollar? when 300 film cost 12.99 in stores?

[TechliciousMedia]

@cazattack23 Because when this was made a year ago the film cost $9.99 in stores.

[Emocliae]

@cazattack23

Wow 300 film costs 12.99?

Please tell me where I can get it! The only places online I've seen are about $1 a print!

Thanks very much! :)

[cazattack23]

@Emocliae target dot com

[TechliciousMedia]

@Emocliae 300 refers to the camera model, not the number of prints. You get 10 prints in a pack for $12.99, or about $1.29 per print.

[mgrasek100]

Gut

[ThLautner]

Erm , i would like to ask if there's a blinkinq red when i on the camera , what does it mean ?

[reesk92]

especially when you consider digital cameras cost a shit ton less and you get prints for pennys not dollars and tose pictures are damn tiny

[Palomablanca1978]

@reesk92 mm but on the computer the pictures are useless, and ive never get around to print them. But yer right they are tiny and i miss the classy polaroid frame. Hope a better polaroid comes around soon.

[reesk92]

@Palomablanca1978 have you considered anything from kodaks print and share range they have cameras and photo printers that will print off your photos when you place them on the dock also i belive they have wireles models too so taking pictures is as easy as placing them onto the dock and pressing print and if your not worried about picking the best ones which i guess your not then you dont even have to pend time sifitng thrugh to find the one you like

[Palomablanca1978]

@reesk92 sounds a bit advanced to me.. Im thinking of buying the gl30 around cristmas depending on the reviews and if its not to pricey. I really love the instant and mobile thing with polaroids. It doesnt matter if the quality isnt super, il like it anyway.

[reesk92]

@Palomablanca1978 that is a downside i guess tbh i dont get why there messing with the sizes of the pictures i personally like the traditional square polaroids

[circaxmk]

for some reason the viewfinder on my 300 doesnt work..like if i look through it and take a picture, the actual picture would be off by a couple inches at least..is there a way to fix that?

[TechliciousMedia]

@circaxmk No. As you can see, the viewfinder is not through the lens, it is offset a few inches away from the lens. So close up shots will be off by a couple of inches. The further away the subject, the less you will notice this issue.

[circaxmk]

@TechliciousMedia phew! alrights i thought my polariod was a defect..but that helps! thank you!

[OrangUtanMileynum]

@circaxmk Yes. Not thru' your camera but yourself. If u want your pictures to be compose within the frame you will need to guess the distance or u could measure the distance b2wn u and the subject with a tape. It's a point and shoot camera - not a rangefinder or slr.

[Zackson1000]

I'm not happy with this camera at all. The images are terrible white washed.



[sHazzAh08]

mine one doesnt work, i put the film in and when i pressed the shutter button nothing happens. the flash on top goes red

[davidko9771]

Question.... My fllm I have is a lot smaler... how is yours bigger?

[TechliciousMedia]

@davidko9771 Our film is the film. There's only one size.

[abel22lopez]

do u need paper to take out the pics or just the film?

[tracegirl1616]

is that true that are selling the camera in target?? and also the films??

[meiting15]

oooh I want one:P

[shurikinz]

what happens if you dont have the film cartridge?

[TechliciousMedia]

@shurikinz You don't take pictures.

[Andrew301]

@TechliciousMedia Hahah

[BloodRain15]

lol i bought one >_>' ... i like it... i just wish you could take pics without it ALWAYS printing the pics. ya'know?

[mouth0mighty]

the film is also a sticker. just peel off the back

[ilovenickjonas4195]

can i use FUJIFILM Instax Mini Cheki

[allsparkpower121]

how many megapixels is this thing

[fjbouma]

@allsparkpower121

how many megapixels in an analog camara? I like such questions ! ;-)

[amiyaiitkgp]

@allsparkpower121 It's an analogue camera...resolution is expressed as circle of confusion here...

[adrillikatithang]

what if i want it on my email :o

[nicolasmir]

Hay algo que NO me cuadra... mirando la cámara de frente el objetivo está hacia la derecha y el flash a la izquierda, entonces al girarla y disparar la foto.... ¿cómo es posible que en la foto instantánea la sombra salga por la derecha?

Something does not block me ... looking at the camera in front of the lens is to the right and the flash on the left, then turn and shoot the picture .... How is it possible that the shadow snapshot comes out right?

[zebraorchid]

how do I turn the flash off?

[TechliciousMedia]

@zebraorchid You can't! (we mention this in the video)

[ManEatingLunchBox]

@zebraorchid put your finger in front of it.

[tomasturbato]

@zebraorchid just put a finger on it

[Ephyaah]

@zebraorchid so, if you buy the fujifilm version or the polaroid version, is it both inclusive the cartidge ?? and if it's not, do you know where i can buy that ??

[chipmunky721]

how many film do u get in each film pack?

[one0man0band]

@chipmunky721 Each pack contains 10 exposures.

[mmmAustria]

If i use the Fujifilm film for the Polaroid will it come out with the same quality of the Polaroid film?

[one0man0band]

@mmmAustria Yes, this camera is just a rebranded Fuji Instax

[indysummer101]

I have a one step polaroid camera ! I got my film from impossible ! I love it I love the old ones way more

[MattandMaxAdventures]

i wish they still had classic 600 cameras:( the impossible film is so expensive

[nikarfizahidi]

which one is cheapest, fujifilm instax mini 7s or polaroid 300?

[ganimedes075]

@nikarfizahidi Fujifilm ! of course !

[lamomarissaeli]

i had the polaroid ultra but all the film i have to buy is always expired so i switched to this for pricing and i love it. it is cutesy but whatever it works well and cheaper film than i was paying.

[elave16]

my god .... the humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iiKpopKorean]

How much is the cheapest polaroid camera & where can i get them ? i'm from Singapore. please help me !!

[tipoomaster]

They just teased a new model, I think its going to be called "Grey". You guys going to review that as well?

[dinilovesmcr]

lots of my friends have this too actually :D

[dinilovesmcr]

i have this in pink :)

[ryuflea]

wait they still make instant film??? cuz i have a polaroid and i havent seen any film around

[VirtuosoGuy]

looks classy.

[itshaeun]

are the polaroid films and all of the other instant camera films the same size? and does it not matter whichever brand of instant camera films you use?

[simonxalo]

So does it use the same film as the Fujifilm version of the camera?

[TechliciousMedia]

@simonxalo yes!

[pimptress03]

Can I use the Fujifilm Instax Mini Picture Format Instant Film (ISO 800) for this one?

[TechliciousMedia]

@pimptress03 Yes!

[bluejay148]

ouch that much thats silly

[Dress2Impress13]

i got mine at target

[TheEMEPE]

I want one!! BUT CAN I ASK A QUESTION?? You have to pay for each pic taken?? Or what?? And last question how much does the tape cost??

[TechliciousMedia]

@TheEMEPE You buy a pack of film and it works out to about $1 per shot. Check Amazon for the latest pricing. You can use the FujiFilm, which is cheaper, instead of the Polaroid-branded film.

[PatiiCiprex]

Polaroid is a partner of Fujii. So, they just took the best of themeselfs. Fujii gave the camera, Polaroid gave the brand.

[andyllamanipl]

FUUUCK... That's huge. 90$ for an instant camera?

And 1$ per shot ><

[TheDisneyEpisodes]

I can't believe they copied the fujifilm 7s

[OllieTheWiseOne]

hello beautiful people (quick warning i cant spell) excuse my ignorance but when does this Pic-1000 camera that was promissed is coming out? cause that looks cool!

[hel1243]

:( i was so sad when they got rid of polaroid 600 is the 300 picture size ok? that was my only drawback from theese

[imbee91]

why would polaroid completely copy fuji??!! cant fuji sue?? I mean, polaroid had way better designs in the first place, and now they've even copied the shape. I mean, come on!

[M4F]

@imbee91 my guess is Polaroid and Fuji are fighting together to combat a common enemy. they're trying to bring instant film back in this digital age. and obviously Polaroid couldn't copy as well unless they got it from Fuji themselves, amirite?

Fuji's 7s is not the best-looking of the lot, i'd see no reason for Pola to copy it unless they have no other choice =/ just so happened the 7s is the cheapest of the Fuji instant range.

[aaronandandrewfilms]

how much is film for this?

[TechliciousMedia]

@aaronandandrewfilms Check Amazon for the latest prices. Retail it's about $1 per shot - very expensive - but you can use the FujiFilm which is about 40% less.

[Zakky2286]

does the fuji instax mini 7 film work with the polaroid 300 ?

[TechliciousMedia]

@Zakky2286 Yes, we have confirmation from Polaroid that the Fuji Instax film will work in the Polaroid 300.

[Zakky2286]

@TechliciousMedia thanks so much

[GrandTheftRomance]

I just want them to bring back 600 film.

[xxxcookiieniixxx]

yes, does anyone noe if the film works with both cameras?

[emrahh13]

where can i buy one in st.peterburg FL

[Jackiez188]

@emrahh13 you can just go to the site and then you can order it :D

[motherfscker]

Im glad that polaroids are coming back, but I'm really disappointed to see that of how large the camera is, the film is only about half the size, and the picture it's self is even smaller because of the photograph border.

[AuberellaDorkella]

i wouldn't spend the extra monsy for the polaroid name, but if they lower the film price dramaticly i might consider. (i know they wont tho)

these kinds of instant cameras will always be popular. i bring my Diana instant back to school and my friends love taking pictures with it. there is just such a retro/cool feel to the instant gratification

great video review :D

[reesescup09]

I WANT IT!!

[faroukihab]

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[xBonesAreBeautiful]

the classic one is so much better!!

[sissybaby1223]

what is the different between this and the Fuji instant?

They look almost the same.But the film of it is so expensive!

[ShadowWarSong]

fuji instax!not the same!we want polaroid!

[Commentergirl3000]

I'd rather have a fuji rip off than no instant polaroids at all.

[XOXmissykissyXOX]

So,,, if Polaroid has this going on, what does that mean for Fuji's Instax cameras in North America?

[iheartjet]

COOOL! I have the fujifilm version!

[cumigorengtepung]

a lot memories with polaroid :)

[iamN0name]

this is lame. the photo is so small. the 600 model is way better! They need to bring that back!

[96redrosesily]

PLEASE tell me they're planning on re-releasing the 600s because this camera looks not only cheap, but extremely juvenile.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Why would people buy this when they may already have a Polaroid Camera like my Land Camera Automatic 100, and can get Fujifilm for it?

Polaroid please, just go back to making YOUR own film, Doctor Edwin Land is rolling over in his grave.

[btz2005]

U can use the fujifilm in this camera. Its also cheaper as most packs are around $13 for 20.

[Pop8MyHeart]

to all the people who are posting all the hate, i reckon its cool as! the camera looks good as! the photos are cute! Im gonna get one!

[SaraSandri]

@Pop8MyHeart me too. I love polaroids! they are amazing!

[GTI8855]

This thing will fail.

Who wants pictures that small?

No one.

I wonder, who in his right mind would invest in production of a device that looks as a 50$ camera from China.

[TechliciousMedia]

@GTI8855 Technically, it's a $67 Fujifilm Instax 7S camera from China.

[GTI8855]

@TechliciousMedia

Heh. I was pretty close.

[fucktheili]

@GTI8855 no, teenagers around the world loves these kind of things, they think its cute and different to the normal ones, i dont think this will fail.

[XOXmissykissyXOX]

@GTI8855 lolz FUJIFILM is a Japanese company. people pay for the nostalgia and unique-ness factor. a lot of people find it cute,,,and cute goes a long way in Asian cultures o . o

[ShadowWarSong]

@GTI8855 

[Pofhaha]

It's so bad looking. It looks like a joke, like "HIhi, what if we tried to make a camera as 80's-cheap-crappy-toy-styled as possible ?".

[simonxw]

Nice video :)

[acetylator]

Nothing against Polaroid, but honestly - no one needs it. No one. Especially if film for 10 images costs $10. Forget it.

A propos, especially because Lady Gaga designed it, I would never buy it.

[TechliciousMedia]

@acetylator The Polaroid is simply a Fujifilm Instax 7S with "Polaroid" branded on the front, so Lady Gaga had nothing to do with the design. She is just part of the promotional marketing.

[Nikolas22]

@acetylator then again we don't need cigarettes it just shorten's your life spand for 10$ or more a pack...people will buy it and polaroids are making there way back, and yes it's similar to one camera i guess but then again if everything was to be compared you would find similarities in everything!
