What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Impossible I-1 Instant Camera - Black

The product design is well executed and tidy. Great size.
Good price for the quality of the instant. Amazing size and weight.
Hand-friendly size, easy to use.
There is no way to fold.
Takes up a lot of space, you have to allocate a separate shelf.

Polaroid OneStep+ Instant i-Type Camera - Black

The camera itself is well made and a piece of cake to use. It is boxy and bulky, but light weight.
If you're nostalgic for the size, shape and feel of the original Polaroid cameras, this OneStep+ is about as close as you can get to the cameras from decades ago.
As far as the design, it's lightweight and easy to carry/hold. It's designed similar or the same to the old camera but has a modern twist on the old classic with a USB cord it charges by.
Great camera, not bulky and relatively lightweight, in general I'm glad.
It is heavier that a point and shoot camera or a smartphone, and it's also bulky because in this case form does follow function.

Polaroid OneStep+ Instant i-Type Camera - Black

I like the app - it has some nice features for remote controlling the camera and 'scanning' pints.
I do like the app - it connects very easily to the camera via bluetooth and works properly.
A bit vintage but not too much. Very nice to use the app also to make the pictures perfect. I am not disappointed at all.
My favourite things are the self timer, and the bluetooth setting means the double exposure and remote controlling really opens up the creativity.
The picture quality was unacceptable- I read ALL the instructions and still didn’t end up with 1 picture that was clear.
