So much fun, and great for travel journaling 
2008-06-24
I am so sad these aren't being made anymore. I bought one last year before embarking on a two month trip through India. I wanted to take photos of places and things along my journey and be able to stick them into my journal so as to better remember things when I came home and had to put the photo albums together. It was wonderful. The image quality wasn't stellar, but it isn't meant to be.
I am leaving a review now, because I am beginning to compile another preparation list for an extended journey and thought this would be great to have again. (I lost the one i purchased last year in transit home :(.
Love it!

I've been a fan of the i-Zone since they first came out. The tiny photos are so much fun and everyone seems to love posing for them.
This i-Zone 200 is a step up from the original. Still as easy to use, still gives the same great little pictures. It just looks a little more "grown up" than the colorful little i-Zone pocket cameras. Feels a bit more durable too (which is good, since I like to carry it around with me to get spur of the moment shots of friends and family).
My only complaint is that the film is sometimes hard to find locally, but it's a good thing it's always available here online!
This is a Great Camera! 2005-12-28
The Polaroid I-Zone 200 is a great instant camera that produces photos that are unique, small (an inch by an inch and a half) and quite endearing.
The I-Zone 200 is easy to use, basically just point and shoot, then pull out the photo strip and let the image expose. Like all Polaroid cameras, watching the image expose is half the fun! The camera is powered by AAA batteries and I've been surprised at how long the batteries last.
Quite a few of my friends have this camera as well and we are always snapping pictures of each other. I use the photos in crafts and they are the perfect size. There are many things you can do with them, from small magnets to bottle cap jewelry.
If you are looking for a fun instant camera, look no further. This is it!
A bit awkward, but unique 2005-12-04
It can be a bit of a pain to keep pulling the pics out of the camera, and to get just the 2 x 1" pic you have to use scissors (at least on the sticky film), but it is a fun little device. Seems to take great pics in all kinds of light. You can't find anything like it on the market, at least not without a printer and a glue stick. It's not a Leica, but if you have reasonable expectations, you won't be disappointed. I got this for a wedding reception; we snapped pics and put them in the guestbook. It was a big hit.
A tip: Those having trouble may be either using the "outdoor" setting indoors as I did a few times (it makes dark pics), or shooting too far from the flash (you need to shoot within 5-6' to illuminate your subject).
Get a different Polaroid - this design is bad 
2005-11-29
We got this for my 4 year old nephew to learn photography. He understood the mechanism well except that you have to manually remove the film after you take a shot. I kept forgetting this as well! If you do not remove the film, you just take another picture over the other one. This camera design is somewhat flawed, there should be a better fail safe mechanism.
Get a different Polaroid. Don't get me wrong, Polaroids are great for kids though! My nephew is a definitely budding photographer.
Exactly what I needed 2005-11-16
The i-Zone 200 Pocket Camera lets you use your camera for more than just pictures. Collect and trade our instant pictures as souvenirs, or print them out and stick them anywhere. Put them on books, lockers, even your friends. Have some fun with your photos! Works with i-Zone Fortune, i-Zone Pocket Sticker and i-Zone Pocket Film Operates on 2 AAA batteries(not incl.)
Polaroide has failed 
2005-10-25
I just picked up this camera few days ago from Wall-Mart, got home too excited to start shooting pictures. Opsssssss Polaroid is too cheap to have a at least a sample film included.
Fine I went again to Wall-Mart to buy films for the camera, so I got the i-zone film, and got home too excited to try it out Oppppppsssssssss, the film fits perfectly fine, but it does not work with this camera, so waited another week before I make my run again to Wall-Mart. So I was looking to get i-zone 200. But believe it or not, I didn't find the i-zone 200 films there. So you would find the camera to buy but there are no films to get this piece of junk to work!
Finally at Amazon, I found the 200 films but they are non-sticky ones, I believe Amazon does not have them either. So it isn't a problem of Amazon or Wall-Mart, it is a problem of Polaroid of not knowing how to launch a new product.
I just came to realize how Polaroid succeeded in making a nice new product, but failed miserably in distributing the most essential thing which are the films to have their camera working.
Great inexpensive item for little kids 2005-06-04
This is not a camera any adult would enjoy in today's age of electronics, but what a winner with kids! My daughter received this for her 4th birthday and still loves it a year later! She takes pictures of everything "important" to her and has made her own little scrapbook. I now give them as birthday gifts for her friends, and it's always the "favorite gift."
If you need an inexpensive gift for someone age 4-14, this will be a guaranteed hit! Even if they already have a conventional camera, you can't beat the instant gratification of having the picture develop right before your eyes. (Buy extra film to go with it, though; it's difficult to come by and may be discontinued soon.)
One of the last curios of the era of film photography 2005-05-28
While this isn't something you want to take "picture" pictures with, it is a unique little device that creates an unconventional product, almost in the same vein as the Pixelvision camera.
You have to put in a little practice to get the hang of capturing clear images with the i-zone. You have to be very still holding the camera, the light has to be right (that is to say: abundant) and even the best pictures are still only 1.5 x 1" in size. In this digital age, most will consider it a pain to take that kind of care for such a small result but those who do will probably be able to use these cameras in an innovative way. I've heard that this has been discontinued and have stashed away several clips of film so I can continue to use this when I want.
INTERESTING SIDE NOTE: You can actually get a Polaroid double exposure with these things. Take a photograph. Leave the strip inside the camera. Take another photograph. Extract the film and you'll see two images, one on top of the other. The second snapshot you take tends to be the dominant image, while the first one is fainter. I recommend using the flash if you plan to experiment with double exposures.
