What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Impossible I-1 Instant Camera - Black
  • The product design is well executed and tidy. Great size.
  • Good price for the quality of the instant. Amazing size and weight.
  • Hand-friendly size, easy to use.
  • There is no way to fold.
  • Takes up a lot of space, you have to allocate a separate shelf.
Polaroid OneStep+ Instant i-Type Camera - Black
  • The camera itself is well made and a piece of cake to use. It is boxy and bulky, but light weight.
  • If you're nostalgic for the size, shape and feel of the original Polaroid cameras, this OneStep+ is about as close as you can get to the cameras from decades ago.
  • As far as the design, it's lightweight and easy to carry/hold. It's designed similar or the same to the old camera but has a modern twist on the old classic with a USB cord it charges by.
  • Great camera, not bulky and relatively lightweight, in general I'm glad.
  • It is heavier that a point and shoot camera or a smartphone, and it's also bulky because in this case form does follow function.

What customers say about "Features"
Impossible I-1 Instant Camera - Black
  • Numerous film types available.
  • Supports autofocus and autoexposure.
  • Wide-angle prime lens.
  • Manual exposure via smartphone connection.
  • Battery drains when not in use.
Polaroid OneStep+ Instant i-Type Camera - Black
  • I like the app - it has some nice features for remote controlling the camera and 'scanning' pints.
  • I do like the app - it connects very easily to the camera via bluetooth and works properly.
  • A bit vintage but not too much. Very nice to use the app also to make the pictures perfect. I am not disappointed at all.
  • My favourite things are the self timer, and the bluetooth setting means the double exposure and remote controlling really opens up the creativity.
  • The picture quality was unacceptable- I read ALL the instructions and still didn’t end up with 1 picture that was clear.
