Polaroid Spectra 1200FF Instant Camera

Besides just being fun, this camera has many business applications like documenting insurance and real estate claims, body shop claims, appraisal documentation, landscape design, "before and after" pictures, or "work-in-progress" updates. The slim, ergonomic design makes this camera extremely portable and easy to take with you everywhere.

Also, there is not any other adjustments or options to improve the quality of the pictures.

I'm using the Polaroid Spectra Film two pack instant film which was all that was available at Dean's Camera Shop in Omaha. Is there another type of film I should use that would provide better pictures and where in Omaha can it be purchased. Is there any adjustment besides indoor-outdoor range??

I have an older polaroid camera that takes better pictures than this one. One must be careful about the distance between you and the object being photographed. Outdoor pictures seem to be the most problematic. The picture quality just isn't as good or consistent as it should be.

She works great. She takes greast pics, she's instant, it's fun, looks bloody good..and captures mermories that will still be around for ages.

The thing with this camera is that it compliments itself - where there's a good point for every bad point.

For example, the size of it..it's really quite heavy and large, and when the top is extended, it's a pretty big piece of equipment to be playing with. Yet..the design is really cool..no matter what the size! it's a funky silver, with the cool lens and sleek edging..there's no reason why you wouldn't want to have one!

Often, in bright bright daylight, the photos can become very white ie: too much light for the camera. This sometimes makes the photos a little blurry, and obviously the subject matter non defined. But at the same time..in the right light you have wicked intense colour.

It I find is also quite difficult at times to judge the 2 different settings; 0.6m-1.2m or 1.2m-6m. Often when you think you are in one zone and you set the camera to that...it may still often be a little blurry, as you may be just in or out of the range.

But the benefits here are that of simply having a polaroid camera..instant, instense coloured, extreme fun fotos.

So overall she aint bad..and I'd definently reccomend her to anyone - simply for the fun that I have found the polaroid to be..you can relive an excellent moment 2 minutes later.
