Sorry for asking but I just found the same camera in the attic but i don't know what film or if it needs batteries?

It uses a polaroid 600 film and the battery is built into the film cartridge. So you need a film cartridge for the photos and to power the camera.
2010305
It takes Impossible 600 FILM. You can buy it on amazon or in the impossible project website. The film pack comes with the battery already in it.

I don't believe it needs batteries, just the film activates the camera. Film is Polaroid 600, I think you can also get "impossible PRD2785 or PRD2959"

No problem. The batteries are in the film cartridge itself. The film is 600 film. It is rather expensive today. But a great find none the less.

Polaroid Co. is no longer in business. Your camera uses film now made by The Impossible Project. Google them and find their website, which has a nice introduction to their selection. It does not need a battery--the camera is powered by a battery in the film cartridge. You may want to track down an empty cartridge with a good battery to test the camera functions before you spend money on film. The film isn't cheap.

It doesnt take batteries. It takes 600film. Best to get the kind on amazon called "impossible 600film" as all original polaroid film is expired.

This camera take AA batteries, but I would not buy one. The one I bought did not work and their return policy is horrible and so I am just out the money and had to buy a different camera.

Must be a Sony Magic Stick that's comes with camera. Next to the battery inside the compartment. Have fun this is a great camera.

I've left them at a friend's and can't check but, yes, it is a common battery type. Just not sure if is is AA or AAA. I carry both in my camera bag.

"I need to go back to check on the camera which I have one left in storage room; they are using the old style 400-speed color negative film, I guess should last one or two years, so they could be treated as roll film, take it to Costco, which is the cheapest exposure and develop cost I found." answered on March 8, 2013Correction: This is 800-speed, not 400. I bought on May 2012, expiration on camera shows 2014-02

For some reason it does not mention a battery in the description, but I did get a battery with it. You might want to get an extra one. Also, if you are going to use the IR option I would get the Polaroid Studio Series Rechargeable IR Night Light 36 LED Light Bar For Camcorders Sold by DBROTH for $39.99

We have had the same problem , my son was interested in the instant camera so we have bought 2 different cameras on line and have bought film at the camera store as well as Amazon, it's still the same. Maybe the cameras are too old or the film is just not manufactured right.

These are just dummy cameras. There is no motion sensor in it just a blinking light. I installed mine show that it uses an AC power adapter. That way I do not have to keep changing batteries

I have no idea. I just needed a new battery or I would have had to pitch the camera. So far all is well.

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

This camera is now obsolete, so if you want to buy it, check Ebay. I sold mine last year. Sorry.

Opps! Hit don't know by mistake. Think I stopped it in time. The camera takes AA batteries. I would recommend the brand name ones as the cheaper ones don't last long. If you use it alot you may want to carry enough for a reload.

As far as I can tell, the only power source for this camera is via a wall outlet. There are no batteries. Not truly wireless, as it does require the cord for power. I did shop around for another option that used batteries but was unable to find an adequate solution.

Yes the film is powered by the battery which contains the film so this package is all you will need!

I would say they are uncommon to find in a store, but easy to get on Amazon. The batteries I bought have lasted through about 5 packs of film so far and still going.
