Background Info:
This is one of those fun and cool purchases that brings life into a party and brings all those memories into an image from funny, bad to good. These are physical images that stay around that you enjoy looking at rather than 100 phone images that never get looked at.
Using a Polaroid of impulse is the simplest Polaroid to date I would say one button at the back to fire the image and a simple click top to realise the flash and open the cover, loading the film is simple as all that's needed is slide the button on the side and then pop the film in and that's it.
The frustrating thing that I would say is with Polaroid in general rather than this camera is the film as the batteries are built in its fairly expensive for the film as about 8 shots cost £20-22 for the typical original Polaroid film, on the other hand, there is a company named impossible that offer it at a base price at around £18 per cartridge but that's still I would say fairly expensive for some images. So using a Polaroid is costly but also not very effective as you do have to wait about 15-20mins to even get the picture but I guess that's part of the nostalgia you buy with Polaroid itself too then again shooting on 35mm takes as long as want because it has go through developing and scanning this is in your hand ready within a few minutes.
The flaws if anything about this camera is that the flash always has to go off even if you have plenty of light - the easy trick is just cover the flash with your hand. The camera itself is very much made out of plastic which is a flaw as yes many are now, but this feels like the cheaper plastic you find of cheap products but in high sight, the product itself is very light and portable for what it is capable of ...... MAKING memories last a lifetime.
The amazing thing I would say about Polaroid currently is the choice of film you shoot as there are so many different options on the colour of framing to the actual film exposure colour itself, such as myself I've used black and pink, colour, blank & white and many more.
I would say remember one main thing when using a Polaroid its very light hungry so be sure there’s plenty of light when taking an image.
