Digital camera reviews of Polaroid Mio Instant CameraDigital camera Review: Film No Longer Manufactured Summary: 1 Stars
One star only because you can't get film anymore. Polaroid quit making the film.
I was interested in buying this camera because I'm sort of on a Polaroid kick right now. I went to polaroid.com and the site says that neither the camera nor the film is manufactured anymore. Too bad.
A fun Polaroid to get for which the film is still made right now is either the JoyCam or the Captiva. These both take Polaroid 500 film and take pretty good photos. The JoyCam sells at a certain auction site for about $5 and the Captiva sells for about $10. The Captiva is a much nicer camera than the JoyCam, has more features, is built better and looks cool. But, picture quality is really the same between the Captiva and the JoyCam, even compared to the Captiva SE model, which I have, that has a glass lens. I brought my JoyCam to work the other day and it's been a blast taking "blackmail" shots. I've used it to create a lot of laughter in an otherwise humorless office.
The 500 film as of today is still available at all the usual big chain drugstores.
