Or how does it get energy?** A: The Polaroid has a battery that is included with the camera. It should not need a new one but if it does you can look up what kind you need and how you change it on Google. **Q: what kind of film does it use?** A: It can use the original Polaroid 600 film that is no longer made since 2008 and is thus expired with no guarantee of quality and it can also use the Imposible Project film that is the only film for most Polaroid camera models that is currently manufactured. Some older Polaroid cameras from the 60s also work with FujiFilm. **Q: where do you ship to?** A: I ship worldwide. **Q: Does this item come with the film? If so, how much?** A: No it did not come with film. Polaroid film is pretty pricey... I lucked out on a box for about 13$ plus shipping & handling and another box for about 19$. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***E on 14 August 2020* Es una pasada la cámara y viene genial empaquetada ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***O on 7 September 2025* Ein Klassiker der Fotografie.
