Summary: This is a fun camera... if you don't care about quality
Review: At least, the film for this camera is cheaper than the others. This is a great little camera when you have a budget and films cause you problems. I have to remind you that fun things... are most of the time at cheaper quality than the others. That's why 5 stars is too much for this thing, it just screams "cheap" for me.

This is the best camera in today's market... if you don't want to waste a lot of money buying expensive stuff at good quality. And you don't have to buy batteries for it! All instant cameras are simple and easy to use, but beware of taking bad pictures. Film can get expensive when you take half of the time awful pictures, so just think before shooting...

Buy a film camera if you will take a lot of pictures, like going on a vacation with ten rolls of film, instead of hundreds of dollars wasted on instant film over lazyness of not going to develop film.

Overall, when quality matters you, buy more expensive cameras, but this little toy will make many, many children happy.

Oh, I just remembered that if you plan on buying one of these and Canada is on your vacation plans(for non-canadians of course), it's the same price over here($24,99 Canadian)!

Summary: Its OK
Review: I am a teen and I got this for Christmas, and I did not like it. I think it's to bulky to take to school, so I can't take pictures of my friends, the quality is terrible, and its rather ugly. If you are a parent, I would not recommend getting this for your teen, unless they have seen it, adn specifically want it. Remeber this is just my opinion, but I don't recommend buying this item. Plus you only get 10 film at a time.

Summary: ...
Review: I bought this camera a few months ago expecting it to have thesame average quality as other instant cameras.When I brought it homeand started to take pictures, I realized that I had been ripped off. I never bothered to buy extra film for the camera because the pictures were so blurry and distorted. The camera just sits in a drawer never to be used again.

Summary: joycam fun for the moment
Review: I bought this camera for a way to catch the moment and share the fun. The camera itself isn't too bad but the film is too expensive for only 10 pictures. I figure you can't expect too great a quality out of a cheap instant camera.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: I got the JoyCam and had a ball with it. My Nephew and I took pictures with the 'big silver camera' and he made a scrap book. The only caution I would issue is that the shutter button is not well protected. So it is not hard to take pictures of the inside of your bag. Beware. Those are some expensive all black shots.

Summary: Not bad at all!
Review: I had always been told that Polaroid cameras gave lousy picture quality. Of course this advice came from my dad who had a Polaroid long before I was born. What a difference about 20 years makes! While this is a camera you might not want to use under rugged conditions, it makes a great first camera for the beginning photographer in your house.

I am usually not a fan of products that take styling cues from the iMac & the VW New Beetle, but the design is perfect for the market in which it is being targeted at (teenage market).

All in all, not a bad camera. Polaroid did a good with this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the perfect party camera
Review: I own two Joycams, and I love them!! I'm 25 years old, and this camera is perfect for parties and for taking out to clubs. The strap is long enough to sling over your shoulder, and the funky design of the camera makes for a great conversation starter. The best thing about it is you get your picture right there and then. It adds so much to a night out with friends.
