## Overview

The Polaroid JoyCam 500 is a lightweight, easy-to-use instant camera designed for spontaneous, high-quality color prints on Polaroid 500 film.

## Description

desertcart.com The Polaroid JoyCam Kit includes Polaroid's latest JoyCam camera model and a 10-frame film cartridge. The Polaroid JoyCam is a revision of the instant camera design that made Polaroid famous. It has a small body in comparison to its bulky predecessors and offers a frame counter and a built-in selectable flash with a flash-ready light. Easy enough for a child to use, the Polaroid JoyCam operates with the push of a single button--no focusing is necessary.The design feature that sets the Polaroid JoyCam apart from other instant cameras is its film delivery system--or lack of one. Traditional instant cameras relied on film cartridges with built-in batteries to enable the camera to expel each shot; however, this model works without a battery. Instead, users pull a plastic ring on the side of the camera to extract the exposed frame. This manual process enables Polaroid to offer a lighter camera body and compatible instant film cartridges at a more reasonable price.The Polaroid JoyCam takes pictures at a range of 3 feet to infinity. It works with Polaroid 500 instant film and produces pictures that measure 4.4 by 2.5 inches, which is slightly smaller than traditional Polaroid shots. From the Manufacturer The JoyCam is an easy-to-use, "point-and-shoot" instant camera designed to take indoor and outdoor pictures with Polaroid 500 Film. The camera produces instant color pictures that are ideal for school events, parties, and family gatherings. Features Blinking flash-ready light lets you know when to shoot Built-in electronic flash fires each time a picture is taken Flash recharge time of approximately 6 seconds Frame counter displays frames remaining Manual film ejection Powered by battery in film pack Fixed focus Lightweight Limited warranty covers defective camera or film

Review: Vintage gift! - I bought this for my sister, who is obsessed with 90's paraphernalia, and it was a great gift. Very easy to use and inexpensive for the great condition it came in. I was really happy when I received it in the mail. These cameras were really awesome, and the only downside is the cost of film. But a great idea for a 90's kid.
Review: Don't buy this camera no film for it - Piece was broken. Loaded film and camera would not spit out picture after pushing the button and following instructions on how to advance the film. Thankfully didn't pay very much for this camera!
