Summary: One Star is one too many for polaroid
Review: I just spent the whole Saturday trying to get the ArcSoft software to download the 30 photos from the Fun? 320 polaroid camera onto my computer (it was only going to take 18 shots according to the manual). Unsuccessful, after several downloading attempts, I started sending an email to Arcsoftware, not expecting an answer in the hurry, I tried [their website] for help and landed here, being offered to buy a book about the camera. So glad I read about the experiences of fellow sufferers and I am sorry for the time and effort we all wasted. Let us send Invoices to polaroid for time spent with such a product. So glad I was saved from actually seeing the results of my efforts. I will be taking it back to the shop in the hurry - no worries. Will have to spend a heap more dollars..., but won't spend them on a polaroid product. A sure way to get happy customers - sell them something bad as long as it cheap. Smart business move polaroid!

Summary: waste of money!
Review: all the effort you go through hooking up the serial cable to your computer is not worth the bad quality photos you'll get from this camera. before you buy a digital cam think first -"what do I want to use the pictures for?". Go with a camera that has a flash and 640x480 resolution....

Summary: I should have known...
Review: I bought this camera on impulse after viewing the AOL Ad. At this price I should have known not to expect much, and really I didn't. Yet, even with low expectations, Poloroid was able to plunge me into making many self-deprecating statements and other fits of depression. The 320 x 240 resolution is too terrible no matter what lighting or other circumstances prevailed. I was so disappointed in my own stupidity, I didn't even have the common sense to send it back. Truly, this is a case where the advertisers have led the public astray, and I was one of the first. Poloroid should be ashamed of itself

Summary: Awful, don't waste your time or money
Review: This camera is just awful. Although you can't expect much at that price, you sould at least get pictures that you can recognize. Just don't bother.

Summary: Not -SO-Good
Review: I found that the camera was not as good as they had admitted. Oh dont get me wrong for the price it's great ( for outdoors in daylight ) it takes a good picture but still pixelated and it does show up "boxy"

Summary: Where did my [money] go???
Review: I was robbed. This camera is HIDEOUS! Sure, I know it only cost ..., and the packaging LOOKS nice, but it should be a crime to dupe people into buying this. Let's see, where to begin? I know, how about: 1) The camera is deceptively good-looking. It's light, small and is ergonomically designed. Hmm... so far so good. 2) Although it's light, it feels CHEAP. 3) It IS cheap. Both in price and in quality. Not a good trade-off. 4) The software is lame. 5) (This is the important one) The program would not recognize the camera even though it was all hooked up correctly. Ok, at 320 x whatever, we know the quality is going to be awful, but not this bad. It's not even a good present for a kid if they can't use it. I can think of a lot better things I can do with [my money]! Buy the kids a Playstation game, you'll save ten bucks and they'll probably use it more. At least the game is guaranteed to WORK everytime. Happy Holidays...you've been warned.

Summary: Stop Whining
Review: It's really cheap and it functions like a really cheap camera. When you pay this kind of money for a digital camera expectations should be minimal and thats exactly what the 320 is. Its a really fun toy. I admit I was a bit dissappointed in the image quality even considering I didn't anticipate it being particularly good. We paid $19.95 after rebate and I bought 2, one each for the kids. If they loose it or it breaks no sweat. If they enjoy it, I'll spend more next year on a better product. You get what you pay for. It's worth the price.

Review: This is junk the images are awful. You can hardly tell what the picture you took was. forget about low light you have to have max light to even take a picture.

Summary: Great digital camera for beginners
Review: I've owned my Polaroid 320 for about 6 months now and enjoyed it. I used it mainly for my online auctions. Most of the pictures were fair-good but after figuring out where to take the pictures(because of no flash) and how to use the software my pictures got somewhat better.It's a great camera to buy but I would advise learning about the software and experimenting with the camera before "officially" using it. Unfortunately because this camera is not USB "compliant" I am unable to use it with my new computer.

Summary: Save some Money
Review: Digital cameras, like computers approximately double in power and halve in price every 18 months. True, digital cameras are easy to use and fun to play with on your pc, but please save time and money, and don't be tempted by the promise (or price) of anything under 1 megapixel. This camera looks nice, and thats about it - grainy picture quality over 3"x5", blocky resolution, and poor light enhancement. Do yourself a favour, and stick with a normal camera until you can afford to really experiment with something worthwhile.
