Our company uses Polaroid cameras for taking photos that are given out as novelty items at public and private events.
This camera the Polaroid One600 Pro is one of those Polaroid cameras that has long been known as THE instant picture camera. These cameras have gone through different looks and quality but still remain known as the "Original Instant". This is particular camera is a step up from the Polaroid One600 Classic camera and the Ultra film Camera.
Though the quality may not be the same as some better digital cameras, it sure is fine for most people when given away as a free promotion. It's now more a novelty item more than anything else to the general public. I will say though that many Polaroid shots taken in their prime range and lighting have a very "natural" look to them. I like the end result better than many digital images I have taken. It actually can cost more to use Polaroid film than it takes to develop digital, but, people still like it.
This camera, the Polaroid One600 Pro Film camera has the same housing as the One600 Classic and the One600 Ultra but has a few upgrade differences.
All three cameras the One600 Pro, one600 Classic and Ultra are very slim when closed. A push of a button and the casing opens with the lens and viewfinder ready for action. This kind of casing keeps the more delicate parts of the camera tucked away when not in use and also keeps the camera from being so bulky when not it use. Even when open it's still slim lined. Nice.
They are roughly about 3"h x 5"w x 6"d when closed. They gain height only when opened to about a bit less than 4"h. Nothing to get worried about.
It's also pretty lightweight at slightly more than a pound. That said I do happen to like the older, bulkier versions of the Polaroid cameras. I also find the sleek casing design is temperamental and does not open and close smoothly at all times. That's with all three cameras.
The camera comes with an instruction pamphlet that uses images to show how to use the camera. Don't expect much text. The bulk of all the words you might see, hoping for detailed information, is printed in twelve different languages.
The film is placed into the camera through the front. I don't like the small little button that has to be reached in the front of the camera to open it. Polaroid used to have a nice thumb action latch on the side that made it easy to find and use. That's important for the way we use the camera, many photos in an evening. These cameras hold packets of film that push out 10 images, then the next batch must be put in.
The cameras have a counter that is easily viewable. This is a big improvement. For years the window was extremely tiny.
A flash is built into the camera and always goes off so there's no using this camera in museums and such places that may not allow flash. No batteries are needed to be changed. There's a system in the camera that receives the little bit of power needed to energise the flash through the film packet. Very cool.
Here I will compare this Polaroid One600 Pro with the One600 Ultra Film Camera. This one is called the "Pro" because of a couple of additional features.
They both have self-timers but it's only the pro that has a shoe for a tripod. Kind of important the way I see it.
The pro is good for shots as close as 1.5 ft. The ultra is good at two feet. It's good to be able to get closer for some photo taking images.
Another plus is that there is better exposure control. The ultra is locked at 1/200 but this one can be adjusted, though crudely, from 1/30-1/200. This is accomplished by sliding a lever noting "darker or lighter". The fact is that years ago this was available on some of Polaroids less expensive cameras. Now it's considered an upgrade only on the better cameras.
Another big difference is that the "Pro" has a Lifetime limited warranty vs. the One-year on the Ultra and Classic cameras.
We have been fortunate though. We have had this camera for a number of years without any problems.
