This camera, though it appears somewhat bulky, fits the hand well and is comfortable to hold while shooting. The fun, sweet little pictures are a hit, no matter who you show them to! It's so quick and easy to grab a picture and bring a smile! :)
One thing I became aware of... a couple of times when trying to transfer the digital pictures to my computer, I got a "No camera connected" error. In each case it was just that the plug wasn't all of the way plugged into the camera (it took me awhile to figure this out because it appeared to be plugged in well, but wasn't). I was relieved to find that it wasn't a fault in the camera, because I was having so much fun with it!
The biggest drawback I find with this camera is that it seems to be made somewhat cheaply (though I haven't had time to either prove or disprove this impression). For example, the battery compartment cover on mine doesn't fit really well, and made me that much more aware of the concern about breaking the plastic when closing the compartment. I don't think the plastic will be a problem as long as it's not rough handled. I also found that, while a lot of instruction isn't so much necessary, I think the manual is lacking. For example, I had no idea if I should pull out the film right after I made the exposure, or leave it in the camera (I don't have instant camera experience, yes, you can pull it right out) and all I found in the instruction manual about that after the camera's operation instruction was "press the shutter button to take the picture" DUH! (no, I'm not from Florida )...
I should also say that the "troubleshooting" part of the manual was very helpful!
The quality of the pictures, both digital and instant, is good! I just had to be sure not to get too close because the flash will blast out the image if it's less than... maybe 4 or 5 feet away. So resist the temptation to get in close because the picture is so small on the instant shots.
The software that comes with it is a blast! Lots of fun stuff to do with that!
I like the camera A LOT and am so far VERY happy that I bought it! This really is a positive review, I just wanted to give a very honest review of the product. I'd buy it again in an instant (no pun intended)!
It only comes with a 6 exposure non-sticky "roll" of film (but everything else you need), so you might want to get some extra of that right away. ;)

The Polaroid i-zone digital and instant Combo Camera splices together the popular i-zone instant camera with a basic digital camera. You can take an i-zone postage-stamp size picture, and then turn the camera over and take the same picture with the digital camera at a resolution of 640 x 480. This device is essentially two separate cameras that share one set of batteries. The digital camera has 1 MB of built-in memory and can store up to 18 images. Both the i-zone and digital camera use fixed-focus lenses, so you never need to worry about taking out-of-focus pictures. A serial cable is included to download your images to your PC. Software is included to spruce up and modify your digital images. Included in the box are a serial image transfer cable, batteries, sticky film, and assorted software.
