Rating: Summary: Great Cam! Review: Bought one about one and a half month ago, and its of very good value for the money. Battery life could be better, but we cant expect miracles with an lcd display. Love it!
Rating: Summary: Save you money and buy a quality camera Review: I bought this camera and actually got the pictures to download one time through th usb cable, never through the serial. It never downloaded again. The lcd didn't work right. It only showed half the picture and half the time you could not even get it to come on. The one time it downloaded, the pictures did look good. I called support a number of times and that was a total waste of time. Three different people, three totally different answers and no help at all. Finally took the camera back and exchanged it. More problems than before. Forget this camera. Save your money and buy a decent camera like the Olympus D-450 or Sony Cybershot.
Rating: Summary: Hope you have better luck than I. Review: I bought this camera and had nothing but trouble with it. I got a really good deal and thought I'd try it. I ended up returning it to the store and did not get another. I didn't want another! I had lots of trouble with the camera freezing and had to do things over and over AND OVER!! It drove me crazy. I am giving up on cheaper digitals and going for something decent the next time.
Rating: Summary: I Love This Camera Review: I had been looking to buy a low-end digital for a few months. When I saw this one on sale recently, I bought it. I am extremely happy with it. If you turn it off when you are not using it and if you plug it in when possible, the batteries will last a lot longer. It turns itself off after a few minutes, so the batteries will not drain if you forget.The pictures are great. Even when taken at the poorest quality, which allows 78 pictures on the card, and printing on plain paper, they look decent. The software is easy to use and a lot of fun. You can play with the pictures and turn them into card, novelties, etc.

Rating: Summary: Learn how to use a camera before bashing it Review: I have used this camera for a while and it takes a real nice pictures. ...The freezing up problem is caused by a corrupt picture (called Polaroid) and is an easy fix. As for short battery life all cameras have this problem. I've been in the tech field for about 10 years and know how these things work and why they don't. ...If you format the card through Windows (as someone did) don't expect the card to work in the camera. Windows formats cards using FAT32. Digital cameras use FAT16. Guess why it doesn't work. Overall the camera is not perfect but if you are willing to take 2 seconds to do it correctly ...you may have a little better luck. A good deal for under [the money].
Rating: Summary: Useless with windows 2000 Review: I just received this camera as a gift and when I went to load the software it was incompatable with windows 2000. After calling customer support I was told that no drivers are available for windows 2000 and they were unable to tell me when they will be available. You would think a company of Polaroids size would be able to keep up with the times.
Rating: Summary: not good service Review: I recieved this camera as a Christmas gift. The very first time I tried to take a picture, it froze up on me and the only way I could do anything with it was to remove the batteries. As soon as I tried to take another picutre, it did the same thing all over again. I returned the camera and got my money back because the store didn't have any more in stock for an exchange. Later, I bought another camera - same model. This time, I can take 4 or 5 pictures and it freezes up again! Unfortunately, I bought the second camera at a store that went out of business so I'm stuck... can't return it! DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$ ON THIS CAMERA.

Rating: Summary: it could be better Review: i recieved this camera as a christmas present and was initially very pleased with it. however, once i started using it more i began having problems. the camera would click and then shut off without taking a picture. if i put brand new batteries in it, it will work, but after about 10 pictures it starts doing that shutting off thing again. i talked to polaroid and they basically told me that the batteries will not last long and that's the problem. i rarely use it now because the batteries won't last (even if i don't use the lcd monitor). also, it won't keep an accurate record of how many pictures i've taken. i don't think it's right when it tells me how charged the batter is either, because it says it still has half a life and then it shuts down due to batteries. all it all, shop around before you buy this one!
