Awsome review man...... just purchased one with two 2008 expired film Cartridges for my wife. Watching this made me know I made the right camera choice. Thank you 🙏
Hey! So just from my assumption I would say no because the opeing of the mouth seems a bit too small to support a frog tongue but you can always send a question to Polaroid Originals from their support page and they usually reply within 24 hours!
@@EricBrownJr hi i just found your channel and i subscribed. Cool channel. Im planing on getting this camera i have no clue on how any of this instant cameras work . All i know is that i want one because i think they are nice to have. Where do i buy the film for it is there a website or store i can buy it? And how much does the film cost ? And once i put the film inside how long does the battery run for? Do i have to use all if the film in a day? Sorry if my questions might sound dumb i just have no idea. Thanks :)
My parents bought one of these while I was a toddler and I've held onto it hoping it was still functional. I can confirm it came with a safety strap. I'm going to order some film and hopefully it'll work just like it used to
Do you know if you can take selfies with this camera?! I know the starting focus range varies anywhere from 1.5-3ft going to infinity depending the One 600 model, but I can't tell if that means you can only take photos from 1.5-3ft away and that anything closer up will be blurry...which wouldn't matter except the project I wanted to purchase this camera for requires a couple selfies!
Hello, so I just purchased a one600 Polaroid at a yard sale, but I don't know where the battery is and how to replace it. Do you have any tips or advice?
Hey! So the battery is built in to the film pack. Once you buy a new film pack and insert it in, your camera should start right up(assuming nothing else is wrong with it). Hope this helps!
Thank you! I got mine in a goodwill auction with some camcorders and other photography stuff. I was so happy! Got the whole lot for $30 so my Polaroid was like free. I’m buying film now and wanted to make sure which kind to get. Thanks for the tips very useful
wow!! im so happy i found your channel! i actually found this camera along with the rainbow polaroid land camera at my local thrift store for just $4 each! while i was initially more excited to have found the land camera, after watching this video im so excited to get my one 600 running! i have hope that it’ll work seeing as it looks super new. it still has an instructional sticker on the top and a plastic wrap on the wrist strap. thanks so much for all the information!
Im so pumped you found my channel! Honestly the One600 is so simple but I love the results I get from it. Plus the shape of it makes it super packable!
Eric Brown Jr. yay its so cool that you replied! i’ve been watching ur vids for the past day and its so cool that you live in san diego! well so do i!! but i guess that means we’re gonna be battling over which one of us finds the cool polaroids first at the local thrift stores and swap meets ... lol JK if you know of any cheaper places to find film around here, please let me know! sincerely, a struggling high schooler 😪
@@lenethabigail yo there are so many here in san diego,.if you go to Kobey's in Point Loma, make sure you bring an old film pack so you test cameras before you negotiate!
Eric Brown Jr. Eric Brown Jr. too bad i think my old film packs are all dead! i’ve tried them on some of the cameras i have already and they wont turn on... do you know how long the battery lasts on a pack even after having used up all the pictures?? sorry for all the questions!
Got one when I was little, not got any film and not sure if it still works. Do u know how to see if it does? Thanks in advance. Also mine doesn’t have any buttons on the top only the one to take the photo
I have a strap on mine but I think it came from the store but I'm not sure it does seem like it came from a store or maybe it came with it I just don't know
Hey, I'm new and I'm not sure what type of camera I have... It looks like the polaroid one 600 minutes the two extra buttons for red-eye and the self-timer. Also I think mine's dead? I can't get it to turn on, i removed the film cartridge and the film seems to be expired but i'm not sure if that is the real problem. I got mine from an estate sale for $5. The only labels I can find on it is the Polaroid logo, one600 and 100mm FOCUS RANGE 3FT ...∞ wrapping around the main camera lense. edited: it's not a polaroid one600 it's a polaroid 101
My One600 model doesn't have the red eye or self timer buttons. The self timer would've been cool to have ngl but I guess that just means I need another Polaroid camera 😁😅
@@ninaperez6188 so the battery is actually built into the film pack. So when you buy a new pack of 600 film, it comes with a fresh battery and will let you know instantly if the camera is functioning
Hey man, recently picked one of these up real cheap, and it takes a photo, but doesn't spit it back out. When I put a new film pack in it'll eject the black slide, but won't eject any photos. I've started pulling out the back slightly and pushing it back in, to eject the top Slide. However the photos are taking longer than 2 hours to develop and even when developed, the bottom half is all yellow. Any ideas?
Any thoughts on replacing the film shield? The shield doesn’t stay over the film while it’s ejecting because it’s too short, causing some overexposure. I bought a replacement shield for box type cameras but after taking the camera apart a little, it doesn’t appear there is a simple way to put a longer tongue on it, I’m a little stumped. ✌🏼💚
i have one of this cameras one of my brothers had in his room and when i tried to take photos it wouldnt show any images and would look deep dark. i dont know what to do cuz the lens wont open and i have no idea on what to do next.
Hey! So there is no batter built into the camera. The battery comes with each film back(its built in) so all you have to do is load up a fresh pack of film and your camera will turn on!
Hi! The battery comes with the film pack. It's all built in! All you need to do is buy some new film, load it up and wen the camera connects with the built in film battery, you'll be ready to go!
I just bought 'polaroid one 700 classic camera' and 'polaroid originals color 600 film'. This cam should work with 600 film, as stated in the cam, but it doesn't! Could you tell me why if you know the reason?
Hmm I've never seen a Polaroid 700 Camera. I know that Polaroid Spectra film was sold in "700" format and one point in time but I'm honestly not too sure. I would send an email to Polaroid Originals, maybe they can get to the bottom of it!
@@katnisscoverdeen5828 yes I did but not recommended as Eric Brown said the opening looks to be too narrow. I just installed at time of my comment but I seem to have issues with film coming out. I will remove my comment.
Hello! I just bought a one600 at my local thrift store and my only question is that everything I’ve read about one600’s say that they dont have exposure meter, but mine does? tried searching around online about that but everything that comes up still just says they don’t have one. I don’t think this a a bad thing, I guess I just got a later model? Just confused lol
I have one from 2010. Does it use I-type film? I used over the years Impossible films last time 2017 and the hue was perfect pinkish yellowish, I find all Polaroid 600 I've used recently not pleasing, green/blue/brown in hue. I'm looking for a new solution, but could't find if I can use i-type.

I just got one for five dollars at the thrift store, was very confused about the battery thing. Super excited to try it though!
Literally just won a bid for one on eBay, in original packaging. So excited to use it.
No way! Congrats! youre gonna love it. Send me any questions you might have!

you’re so cool . i saw this camera at a local thrift store now i really regret not buying it . it was only $5 too .
Oh man thats the a steal for that camera. If you ever see another one you should buy it!
Umm I bought one at the thrift store it was 5 dollars too
What $5? That's a steal
I have one and I had it stored for so long. Finally going to use it again!
Hell yea!!! It’s a really fun camera!
Got this a while ago and finally started getting film for it, payed like nothing for a really great camera I love it so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Loved this review I just ordered one for very cheap and hopefully this review still holds up now in 2024
How can I get the film? Does it come out straight away or do I have to use it all?
@@sohaibsherlala1593 do you mean how can you buy it? Lots of stores sell it like best buy and Target. You can even get it online.
I believe there is a pro model of this with exposure compensation. Mine is more basic than yours, no timer or red eye reduction.
I have that one. Only has two buttons: open/close, and the shutter
My parents bought one of these while I was a toddler and I've held onto it hoping it was still functional. I can confirm it came with a safety strap. I'm going to order some film and hopefully it'll work just like it used to
Make sure to clean your rollers!
Just picked this up today at my local photo shop for $35. Stoked on it and appreciate this video

Can this be fitted with a frog tongue… mostly referring to the box style one on Polaroid website thanks

I just got one from my local market for a dollar. So did this camera need a battery?
Hey! The battery will be built into the pack of film! That's the cool thing about Polaroids! Make sure you buy 600 Film
How is it in low light conditions if there is no exposure thing. I find the polariod now doesn’t do well in low light!
Got one when I was little, not got any film and not sure if it still works. Do u know how to see if it does? Thanks in advance. Also mine doesn’t have any buttons on the top only the one to take the photo
The only way to check is try inserting a film pack that has a battery. I hope this helps!
I have a strap on mine but I think it came from the store but I'm not sure it does seem like it came from a store or maybe it came with it I just don't know
Yea thats definitely the original strap then! Happy shooting!
I found an old one like this - however my images come out dark and without contrast. I am wondering if the camera is faulty?

Sounds like expired film, have you tried any new packs?
hi! what does the red eye function do? Because I heard the shutter stays open for 1 second and then the flash fires?
I just got one for $2. Thanks for the review

You're so lucky! How's your polaroid been treating you the past 2 years?
I have the black & yellow one with a handstrap on the side.
i bought this camera and it spat 3 exploded film sheets out at once stained developer liquid inside the camera so i just sent it back and got a Now
Hola me podrás decir donde lleva la pila o batería.
Hi, thanks for the great video. My pictures are over exposed when I use this camera. Could I use a film shield for this camera? :-)
Thank you this was helpful af
Man I got one of these at goodwill for 6.99 it’s super cool !
great video !
Thanks so much!
This helps. Thanks. 👍🏾
Glad I could help!
My mom brought me one when they came out in 2003 I still have it lol
The only downside is that it doesn't have the exposure control and the new polaroid films aren't the same as the old ones
I just got this camera at a thrift store for $1!
Definitely bought the yellow and not the blue box of film 🤦🏽♀️ 5:43
I got mine at goodwill
You look like Will Smith
well i'll take that as compliment haha
I got one at a flea market for $3.00
You keep repeating yourself. Get to the point
I have one from 2010. Does it use I-type film? I used over the years Impossible films last time 2017 and the hue was perfect pinkish yellowish, I find all Polaroid 600 I've used recently not pleasing, green/blue/brown in hue. I'm looking for a new solution, but could't find if I can use i-type.
Hey! This only takes 600 film it will not shoot I-type film.
Does anyone know the dimensions of this camera when closed? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Hey Selena! The dimensions are 6" x 5" x 2.75" - That makes it great travel Polaroid! I hope this helps!
Do this camera need battery or charging?
Hey! Nope! When you buy film the battery is built in to the film pack!
