What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Polaroid Impulse Instant Camera
  • Camera works perfectly! Great size.
  • The size and weight are excellent, pleasant to hold in your hands.
  • Quite adequate weight, easy to get good shots.
  • Bulky and inconvenient for long-term use.
  • The size takes up space and must be held with both hands.
Polaroid OneStep 2 i-Type instant Camera - White
  • It's a great size and it's very fast to learn to use, and the pictures are the sort of thing I'll hang in my home or at my office to remind me of the great times and memories.
  • The camera shoots great pictures and love the look and feel of the modern updated version. Lighter weight. Better quality.
  • I have small hands, but the camera still didn't feel too bulky while taking pictures. I also like the fact that I can increase the flash for poorly lit places.
  • It's a large, chunky camera, but feels very solid and well-built.
  • This camera is big! It doesn't fit conveniently into my diaper bag or purse just because it is large and cumbersome.

What customers say about "Features"
Polaroid Impulse Instant Camera
  • It's a beautiful, great camera.
  • Beautiful camera. Great picture quality. I love it.
  • The photos are clear and focused.
  • The size of the pictures are nice and the photos are very good quality.
  • Very easy to use! Uses excellent film.
Polaroid OneStep 2 i-Type instant Camera - White
  • I love the look of it, I enjoy it far more compared to the Fujifilm Instax camera, as I enjoy the larger photo size.
  • The picture size is good — classic Polaroid. Better than the Fuji instant I reviewed recently (small pictures that are under lit by flash).
  • The flash is usually good enough to light up your subject provided you aren't too far away. Overall it's a great little photography toy to have around.
  • The unit is lightweight. People used to digital cameras and phone cameras (is kids and adults half my age) found the viewfinder too small and this useless.
  • The proper Polaroid colour film quality of the picture is absolute rubbish her birthday was on the 20th June so missed the deadline to return it.
