The digital age ends the fun of another film camera
 
Review Date: August 23, 2007
Reviewer: Joseph P. Long,
I bought a JoyCam off of ebaY for about $5 a couple of years ago and a Captiva for about $10. Expired Polaroid 500 film was really cheap on ebaY, so I stocked up and it worked fine. I happily went along shooting Polaroids at the office of all kinds of events. The camera is so simple to use and so fun, and the cinema comes out really well. I like it. I'm on my last roll of film so I ongoing looking around to find film auctions and I see that the price of the film has skyrocketed in price. It appears that the 500 film is now discontinued, which renders my JoyCam joyless and my Capitiva camera useless. I'm very sad. There's not anything like a excellent Polaroid. Digital is not the same for spontaneity, and neither is traditional film. I have a Polaroid 600, but film is really pricey as well and last time I bought some new, one of the packs had a dead array--so much for the warnings about only using fresh film when my 500 film was all two or three years ancient and find and my 600 film was still "fresh" with a dead array. By the time I exposed the dead array, my receipt was long gone. Out $10 quick!!!

I know that Polaroid is not going to bring back 500 film, so there's no use pining. I guess if I want to continue with the Polaroids, I'll have to buck up and start using the 600 camera, which is a nice camera, but not nearly as fun as the JoyCam.
Worked fine with my camera and simple to load.

This is Simple to use. Quick in loading, and priced just right. It is a bit smaller than the orginal but this is worth it.
