The minimum distance from the object is something like 2 feet, which means it can't focus too close, which is a shame, but Polaroid also makes the Spectra 1200FF which is a fixed wide-angle focus, so it has some macro features.Good camera, very versitile. That's why Polaroid film costs more money.This Spectra takes sharp focused pics at all distances.
I've got several old Polaroid cameras, and they've stopped making film for them. I just bought this new one very recently, and it takes great pictures, end of story.
It kills me that Polaroid is doing so poorly these days. Think of the money you spend on 35mm film, and then seperate processing.
To say "the film is expenisive" is not a helpful critique of this, or any Polaroid camera. That's just the way it is.
It's a far cry from the old fixed focus, or manual focus Polaroid cameras. Forget digital cameras, support Polaroid and keep them alive.
It's fun at family and friends get to gethers, but the film is a little expensive, but what the heck, have fun anyway. I own this camera. It is a fun "grab and go" camera when you see something and need a take a quick picture. If you need to document something for your insurance company, or want to keep a photo record of your collection, it works very good. All in all, a good camera to keep with you at all times, "just in case."
I was excited to try out the new polaroid camera using the bigger film. What a waste, if you want a great polarid camera you are going to have to go to some special camera shop, if you want a decent one don't buy this just get the old stand by, one step (.)., its just as good as this camera if not better.
