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.

Customer Reviews:

So Easy!
This camera is simple to use with predictable results. It's terrific for school craft projects, birthday parties, and ornaments. As an added bonus, kids love the magic of watching the picture develop from a plain black square right before their eyes.

A pretty sweet camera
Yeah, Sweet camera. It was basically ready out of the box once I added the film. Everyobody 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
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).

Why a timer.....if there is no tripod socket??
There are two things i dislike about the One 600 ultra. Other than that.....I think it is a great value for the money.

First off....why have a self timer......and not include a socket on the bottom of the camera to put it on a tripod??....The Polaroid One had the tripod socket feature...and i miss it very much on this camera.

Secondly...i dislike the fact that there is no way to turn off the flash. There are times (like taking pictures of Christmas lights) that you only want ambient light included in your pictures.

poor color and contrast
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.
