I would love to buy this, just two questions... 1) does it come with a battery. If not, what type of battery should I buy? 2) is this a Polaroid?

It didn't come with a battery and I haven't really used it. Just bought it for collection display..

Ummm, it isn't a digital camera so it doesn't have a main battery. All it requires is a watch battery and you can buy thoes for like $6.

Thanks CAMPJEEP.Most of my photos will be outside, so it sounds like I should be able to expect well over the stated 260 shots (CIPA standards).I'll purchase a backup battery to be safe. Probably the Maximal after market battery listed here on Amazon. Only $3.45 and the reviewers say that it lasts as long as Canon's.Thanks again.

Personally, I think the "original" handheld Yahtzee game is better quality. However, if you search for them you will find that they are very expensive and in "used" condition. For the money, this one is just fine and I have no complaints with it. Yes, mine did come with a battery. Hope this helps :)

I no longer have the film. It did not fit my camera, so I got rid of it. I am still looking for the Polaroid for my camera.

Everything comes with the camera, but the camera is not worth the money. The battery lasts for about 20-30 minutes and then needs to be recharged. The battery is built into the camera and can not be replaced. I returned it a few days after I bought it.

I ordered 3 of them and 3 out of 3 where DOA. Polaroid says they are a discontinued product and where likely sitting on the dealers shelf too long. Got my money back easily from Amazon. I have had Polaroid Digital Cameras in the past and they both worked better that expected. I am considering the Polaroid XS10 or XS100 now. Sorry I can't answer your question, but good luck.

I checked out what model my camera was and it is your EOS. It is an after market battery. Most brick&mortar; stores don't carry batteries. My Best Buy salesman told me where to get them.

It is battery operated. It is like a "polaroid" camera so you need to buy film with it. I do not understand #3 unless you mean angle and there is really nothing to show. Check out the specifications and you can get an idea of its actual size and dimensions.

I wondered too about the battery. Way back at the first Q. in Aug. of 2013, it was stated that it uses LR44 or A76 Battery. Those are easy to find and pretty cheap. I'm ordering it now. If it is different, I will post back.

I found it. You can buy at Ebay. The seller ID(name) is trusyou11730. You can buy extra battery too.

I really love the camera. I collect polaroids and it's one of my favorites. But unfortunately Polaroid discontinued the film in like 2008. They use to sell film that would take 10 pictures in a pack and now you have to buy it through the Impossible Project and they only produce film that is 23$ a pack and takes 8 pictures so your counter on the camera will always be two off. Just really think about what pictures you want to take with it and I suggest color film because it's so pretty.

As long as you take the pictures in good lighting and protect the film as soon as it is exposed to light, your pictures will look great. I feel like people sometimes expect digital quality pictures out of a polaroid camera, but thats not what you are going to get. Polaroids are vintage, therefore so is their film quality.

The battery comes with the camera and Amazon will recommend a battery for it so you can get a second one. The battery life depends on how many pictures you take or if you use the video setting. It is always wise to have a second fully charged battery with you just in case yours dies when you least want it to happen. Let me also point out while you are asking about the battery that the memory card DOES NOT come with it so make sure you order one when you order the camera.

Batteries ONLY!! PLEASE - Do NOT buy this camera! Mine is still in great shape but already will NOT KEEP the time/date? Contacted Canon only to find out it has an internal battery that only THEY can replace and if I wanted to PAY to send it in, the repair would be about $100 ! Are you kidding me? $100 for an internal battery? WOW! No thank YOU! -- Yes, it's over a year old, but still! Now ever time I turn it on, I need to reset the day/time. Totally disappointed in Canon and this camera! Do NOT waste YOUR money, they are FAR better cameras with "chargers" that you can find for your money! GOOD LUCK!! Batteries ONLY!!

Thanks for the heads-up. I was ready to buy this camera until I started reading about the battery situation. Looks like a good camera but unfortunately, if you can't keep it powered up, it just becomes drawer junk.
