This is a Great Camera!
The Polaroid I-Zone 200 is a great instant camera that produces photos that are unique, small (an inch by an inch and a half) and quite endearing.
The I-Zone 200 is easy to use, basically just point and shoot, then pull out the photo strip and let the image expose. Like all Polaroid cameras, watching the image expose is half the fun! The camera is powered by AAA batteries and I've been surprised at how long the batteries last.
Quite a few of my friends have this camera as well and we are always snapping pictures of each other. I use the photos in crafts and they are the perfect size. There are many things you can do with them, from small magnets to bottle cap jewelry.
If you are looking for a fun instant camera, look no further. This is it!
A bit awkward, but unique
It can be a bit of a pain to keep pulling the pics out of the camera, and to get just the 2 x 1" pic you have to use scissors (at least on the sticky film), but it is a fun little device. Seems to take great pics in all kinds of light. You can't find anything like it on the market, at least not without a printer and a glue stick. It's not a Leica, but if you have reasonable expectations, you won't be disappointed. I got this for a wedding reception; we snapped pics and put them in the guestbook. It was a big hit.
A tip: Those having trouble may be either using the "outdoor" setting indoors as I did a few times (it makes dark pics), or shooting too far from the flash (you need to shoot within 5-6' to illuminate your subject).
Get a different Polaroid - this design is bad
We got this for my 4 year old nephew to learn photography. He understood the mechanism well except that you have to manually remove the film after you take a shot. I kept forgetting this as well! If you do not remove the film, you just take another picture over the other one. This camera design is somewhat flawed, there should be a better fail safe mechanism.
Get a different Polaroid. Don't get me wrong, Polaroids are great for kids though! My nephew is a definitely budding photographer.
