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 pictures. Shaking or waving a Polaroid picture to help the development process 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 quickly. When using the integral films (600, Spectra, 500, SX-70/Time-Zero, i-Zone) that are used in our most popular 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, excessive shaking or waving can actually damage the image. Rapid movement during development can cause portions of the film to separate prematurely, or can cause "blobs" in the picture. The best way to ensure a perfectly developed image is to simply lay the picture on a flat surface immediately after it exits the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great results from a 'construction' camera, June 25, 2002

By	"artschanz" (MIDLOTHIAN, VA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this camera at a going-out-of-business 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 providing fairly good pictures. Little did I know that the pictures would be so good!
I never would have guessed that this camera would take such crisp, clear pictures. I have shot more than a half-dozen pkgs of film and every picture has turned out fine. Please understand...this is not a 35mm camera with all the bells & whistles. It is a Polaroid instant camera (w/ flash) that produces good, instant pictures. That being said, it is very rugged and durable and will tolerate adverse weather better than your 35mm will. I have taken pictures 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 correct expectations, you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pretty sweet camera, February 19, 2006

By	Demosthenes "Jane" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Yeah, Sweet camera. It was basically ready out of the box once I added the film. Everyobody thinks it's really cool. It's great to have the instant photos, so real and so tangible. Each picture is one of a kind.

This camera works great, but I noticed at night that the pictures are a little dark if the subject is more than 5-6 feet away, but for the price I think It's a pretty good deal.

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Why a timer.....if there is no tripod socket??, December 18, 2005

By	SaintSuperb - See all my reviews

There are two things i dislike about the One 600 ultra. Other than that.....I think it is a great value for the money.

First off....why have a self timer......and not include a socket on the bottom of the camera to put it on a tripod??....The Polaroid One had the tripod socket feature...and i miss it very much on this camera.

Secondly...i dislike the fact that there is no way to turn off the flash. There are times (like taking pictures of Christmas lights) that you only want ambient light included in your pictures.
