Polaroid Pic-300 Instant Camera Features
This camera allows you to take pictures you'll see developed in front of your eyes in minutes. It's the modern version of the classic Polaroid instant camera you've grown to love and it's just in time for your wedding, anniversary, birthday or other big event! The Polaroid Pic-300 is great for guest books when you want to put a face on your special day, registration events or any other time when you want quick results you can share within minutes. The camera prints pictures about the size of a business card (1.8 inches x 2.4 inches) on paper that's 2.1 inches x 3.4 inches.
To use, simply snap, print, and share your photos - that's it! Take it on the go so you can send friends and family home with pictures of their own within minutes. The film counts down like a disposable camera so you know how many pictures are left before you change the film.
How instant photos work
The Polaroid PoGo Zink Photo Paper produces high quality, full-color glossy prints of your favorite photos without a printer and even without ink. The paper features billions of tiny dye crystals embedded within the Zink Paper that are activated by precise heat pulses through the thermal print head within the camera. It's an advanced composite material with cyan, yellow, and magenta dye crystals embedded inside and a protective polymer overcoat layer outside. When heat is applied in just the right way, full color images appear like magic on the paper. The differing paper means you will have a bright and sharp image with just a camera and photo paper - no ink cartridges or ribbons needed.
Each photo print is dry-to-the-touch, water resistant and features an adhesive back. You can stick your photos to any surface without damaging the photo or the surface. Zink Paper is the heart of ZINK Zero Ink Technology. For easy-to-use photo paper that prints vivid images, the Polaroid PoGo Zink Photo Paper has arrived. You must use Polaroid instant color film only. A film pack includes one black film cover and 10 film sheets. Do not remove the film from its inner bag until immediately before loading it into the camera and keep it out of direct heat.
Taking a picture in all light settings
When the camera isn't used for 5 minutes while the power was turned on, all the lamps automatically turn off and the camera enters an energy saving state. The camera can be reset to the, "power on" state by hitting the shutter release button or pushing and pulling the lens section. The Pic-300 uses four AA batteries (must be the same type and size of alkaline batteries).

The new Polaroid PIC-300B is the answer to anyone's prayers who missed the look and feel and fun of those instant photos. We all know how a Polaroid picture looks, it's not crystal clear in the slightest, and it has such a harshness of reality woven into it. By nature it's more contemporary than the newer digital cameras, because you have instant gratification. You cannot zoom, or look at the picture first and then delete or save; you cannot download it onto your PC and fix it. You point and click and there is NO turning back you must accept that picture! It's half the fun of it to see it develop, the other half is having something in your hand. A tangible memento of the moment before.
It's a good looking camera, I loved how the old ones looked, but I like this one as well. It also comes in different colors now; I went for good old black. It's not too heavy, comes with batteries and a strap for the side. The Polaroid PIC-300B is easy to use. Just load the film, then you pop open the lens and that turns on the camera and the first photo that comes out will not be a picture but rather the films protective layer coming off. Then you point and click and the photo comes out the top now! It still makes the same noises as it spits out, and that made me smile. The photos are now business card size , which I didn't know if I would love or not but I DO!!
This camera isn't for someone who wants an everyday camera, this is for special use. Yes, because the film isn't cheap for it, but also because the pictures themselves are meant to be slices of life, not all of life.
I am so happy with this camera, now go and get yourself one!
It's a delightful camera which of course brings lots of memories for those of us of a certain age. Imagine once again loading film into a camera?
It's a very simple camera to use, setting it up is easy --insert batteries, insert film, set your setting (indoor, outdoor, ) take your shot.
This is not your everyday camera. We've used this on Girls Nites, (loads of fun that), family gatherings and vacations for fun moments. It always generates a buzz.
My teens think it's a blast.
I love the instant photos for craft projects, bulletin boards, messages.....CLEAN YOUR ROOM!
I just have to keep enough film around....film bundles are the best options.
This would be a great graduation gift.
Welcome back Polaroid!
Note: Buying the fujifilm film is cheaper than the Polaroid film for this camera and works the same!
