WOW. Forget those chunky 3 x 3 instant Polaroids - this one beats them all by a mile: hands down. Curvacious, sleek, yet durable, it has all the looks a person can want. Visually, the I-Zone's top portion (looking at it from top down) leaves a bit to be desired because it looks a bit "cheap" but heck, for [the price] who has the right to complain? Personally, I think the chrome silver finish looks great. Much better than the kiddy red, lime green, and what not that's available in other stores.

As for the quality, it can go both ways here but for the most part, its pretty nice. The stickers that are produced are a bit on the small size and can be placed just about anywhere... the film isn't too sticky so you can just tear it off without the risk of any of that sticky gunk being leftover on the surface of whatever you pasted it onto. Sticks great to notebook paper and envelopes.

The only REAL nagging problem that I could unearth is the fact that, like others have said, the FLASH button is a bit on the loose side and turns out draining all your battery. There's a simple workaround which is to remove the battery and keep it in your pocket. When you want to use the flash again, just pop the battery back in. This reduces the risk of unnecessary battery drainage.

What can I say? This camera has the quality, the looks, and quite bluntly - the I-zone delivers. Highly recommended.

I'd give the Izone camera 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that the flash button is very loose and turns on in my bag all the time, thus, draining out the batteries. Polaroid needs to redevelop the Flash button to stop doing that. Other than that, the camera is really cute! It is a serious conversation piece in any social situation. If you want to meet people and are shy, go out with a Lime Green Izone! People will flock to you like you wouldn't believe. But that's not why I bring my Izone out with me. I love the pictures it takes! Try and aim really close to your subject and you won't go wrong. The pics develop fast, and the border on the sticky film is all different colors! Be creative! Stick the pics around the house, on your computer, on your letters to friends, on notebooks, etc. All my friends have an Izone!

I must admit this is a very novel idea. I love my camera (I got the clear blue one, I forgot the fancy name). Anyways here are the problems. 1) The on/off/flash wheel is very loose. On many occasions I have had it turn on to the ready flash mode and a few hours later my batteries were gone. This is a real concern as anything will turn them on, even the shuffling of your clothes while it's sitting in your drawer. 2) The pictures are very small so take this into account. If you take a picture with a dozen people, they all come out to be the size of dots. 3) Take pictures REALLY up close not far away. Good luck making out someone on stage at a concert.

If used correctly, you will love this camera. Enjoy it but don't expect anything special out of a $20 camera.

No big promises here other than this will add enjoyment to trips, vacations, big dinners, etc -- it is portable candy. It is also a good to have around the house in the way that it is good to have a roll of electrical tape -- it comes in handy for doing odd jobs like a kid's class project that reqs pictures, etc. The film is about $8 for 12 exp -- a little less than a buck a print. Even if you factor in the cost of printing regular film this still has a premium, but it isn't too bad, you get the pictures instantly. All the negatives are only negatives if you use this like a traditional camera. The purpose here is fun.

Pluses: - Light, easy to bring anywhere; Instant film; Cheap; Good for kids (no worries)

Negs: - Prints are small (large postage stamp); No negatives (one print only), very 'of the moment'

Kids Love It! Easy to use for even the youngest in the house. Sticker fim is great for trading pictures with friends, attaching to lockers and backpacks. Makes a great birthday present. Cool colors and fits in a pocket. Older kids love it too. Trust me, I have both. Mom and Dad enjoy using it as well, when we can get it from the kids.

I got this camera as a birthday gift, and at that time I had no clue how cool it was. I took a couple of snap shots, and then stopped using it for a bit. But, now whenever my friends see it, they all think it's the coolest camera ever. Also, I have started using it for its true purpose: as a fun, creative camera. I take snapshots of all my friends, create cool accesseries and decorate my rooom with them. It takes great pictures for the size of the film, and also it's quick and easy to use. One of the few cameras where your own snapshots of yourself turn out to be good pictures. It's great if you can be creative and want to have some fun.

I like the I-Zone camera a lot- it's small, lightweight, and really fun to use because the pictures are so creative and (with the sticky film) you can put them anywhere. Also, when you take the picture, you can set the camera for indoors, outside- cloudy, or outside- sunny and it automatically adjusts the flash. I took off one star for a few things. One, like everyone else said, the flash button is pretty loose. Two, I don't like having a border on the picture- you can only trim it so much. And finally, Polaroid doesn't make a case for it, which is kind of a pain. But otherwise it's a great camera and I'd recommend it!

Bored with plain old cameras, I wanted something new and interesting. The Polaroid I-Zone was the answer to my prayers! This adorable silver camera is very attractive, and it easily slips into a purse, pocket, or backpack (convenient for school or a day at the beach)! I like the colorful borders on the sticky film, and you can stick these tiny snapshots anywhere. I've seen them on computers, bedroom walls, notebooks, textbooks, CD players, yearbooks, you name it. Be creative! I highly recommend the I-Zone camera to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary. I love this camera, and so will you!

I just bought this camera yesterday and it is so cute and I love that these little pictures can fit in your wallet! But what I don't like is that there's no camera case for it, so you have to be really careful with it and that the color isn't the best. It comes out a little bit "shady". But it's small, it's cute and for the most part it gets the job done...I give it 4 stars =)!

This is a good camera for beginners, and kids, the stickey film isnt that incredibly stickey, but it works. It is a fun camera to have. (^=
