5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Camera, February 4, 2004

William E. Harrison III (Woodland Hills, California United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Polaroid Mio Instant Camera (Electronics)

I bought two of the cameras, one for my sister, and one for myself. Some of the reviews are really silly. The film is available. Sammy's Camera store in LA has plenty. All ten pictures work out of the pack. The camera is exceptionally easy to use and the pictures are sharp with good color. Also the camera isn't bulky at all. It is rather small. This is a fun camera. A great novelty for school, parties, social outings, etc. The only problem I had was with the batteries not making contact initially with the inner prong (which had to be pull-out a little). Other than that this is a great little camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars small & cute, December 28, 2002

Most of the time it takes good pictures. It seems every other picture comes out. For some reason the film pack says 10 exposures, but out of two packs I was only able to get 8 exposures per pack. But I love the compactness of it. And it's so cute. So far I've only seen it in Target stores, and they have marked them down after 2 months. I hope this camera will be around for awhile, not like the Handle Camera which I have also, without film.

i also had a difficult time finding film as well. this camera was purchased for me off of my amazon.com wishlist but at the time the film wasn't in stock. so i had to try to locate some and eventually did at a camera store. so far the photos i have taken outdoors have turned out the best and at about a dollar a photo i think i'll just stick to taking photos outside.
