 - Price-gouging!This is a nice little camera -- in the process of being discontinued. BUT the price here is OUTRAGEOUS. You can probably find it at a nearby CVS or Duane Reade or Target for about $40. Get it for a good price and it's tremendous fun, especially for kids. They get a real kick out of seeing the picture develop before their eyes -- just can't be beat by a digital camera. The pictures are _not_ of the quality of a decent point-and-shoot digital camera, but how many digital cameras cost $40 and how many give pictures _instantly_? And the Polaroid pics have a quality of their own which is hard to find in the digital world. As of mid-March, the word is that _no one_ is interested in licensing the Polaroid technology (though Polaroid has indicated that they are happy to license it out). So the downside is that film will disappear, but the upside is that these cameras will not see the popularity of, say, Diana cameras. That means they should become _less_ expensive. One way or another, do not pay the thieves at Toyzz $160. Check e-Bay or anywhere first. Rating:  - It's a great polaroid camera! It works great, takes good pictures. You gotta shoot them from afar because it doesn't focus for close ups. Rating: - what a ripoff!!!Okay I have to say that this seller is completely ripping you off if they are charging $140! You can get this camera at Target for $39.99 or at the Adesso website for $42.00! Talk about an unfair mark up!!!!! Rating: - Greatt!great camera...as long as you know what your getting. don't try to take pictures of flowers or something close up...this is definitely more of a having fun with people and pose for a picture camera. Rating:  - Classic PolaroidDigital may have taken over the photo world, but the classic polariod still has its place. We bought this camera for a cub scout event. We were holding a sign-up night and had the kids making picture frames. We took pictures of the kids with the polaroid and sent them home with a framed picture of themselves from their first night in cub scouts. We could have used a digital camera with a printer, but that would have been more cumbersome. You still can't beat an instant camera for things like this. I would not use it for my one and only camera, but it is good for those special situations when you have to have a hard copy print right away.
