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 cinema. Shaking or waving a Polaroid picture to help the development administer 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 promptly. When using the integral films (600, Spectra, 500, SX-70/Time-Zero, i-Zone) that are used in our most ordinary 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, unwarranted shaking or waving can in fact hurt the image. Rapid passage during development can cause parts of the film to separate prematurely, or can cause "blobs" in the picture. The best way to ensure a impeccably urban image is to simply lay the picture on a flat go up at once after it exits the camera.

Fantastic results from a 'construction' camera
 
Review Date: June 25, 2002
Reviewer: , MIDLOTHIAN, VA United States
I bought this camera at a going-out-of-affair sale at a local retail store about a year ago. I thought the 'construction' nature of the camera would make it more durable, while still as long as honestly excellent cinema. Small did I know that the cinema would be so excellent!
I never would have guessed that this camera would take such crisp, clear cinema. I have shot more than a half-dozen pkgs of film and every picture has turned out fine. Please know...this is not a 35mm camera with all the bells & whistles. It is a Polaroid second camera (w/ flash) that produces excellent, second cinema. That being said, it is very rugged and durable and will tolerate adverse ride out better than your 35mm will. I have taken cinema in the rain w/o problems - you only have to remember to protect the film when it exits the camera. It needs to be kept dry & warm...just like any polaroid.
If you go into this with the assess expectations, you will not be disappointed.
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 fantastic to have the second photos, so real and so tangible. Each picture is one of a kind.

This camera works fantastic, but I noticed at night that the cinema are a small dark if the subject is more than 5-6 feet away, but for the price I reckon It's a pretty excellent deal.

Be aware that the film is pricey, it comes out to about a dollar a photo. Othewise it's Fantastic!

This camera is such a pleasure to use. In freezing cold or searing heat -which we have a lot of in this area - it keeps cranking out the cinema. I also have a couple of digital cameras, but when I want a picture without having to deal with settings and other distractions, this is the camera I use. Like it!

Reviewer: Dustin H. Miller,
This camera works fantastic. It stays in my car and gets bounced around a lot. I had a cheaper one (the basic polaroid model) and after any turbulace it would spit out 3 cinema at a time and none would turn out. At $1 a pic, that's not cost effective. I've had no problems with this and it works fantastic everytime I've used it. Worth the extra couple bucks.
