    • Effective Pixels: 16 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)

  • General
    • Brand: Polaroid
    • Model Number: IS048-RED-STK-4
    • Product Name: 16MP Waterproof Digital Camera
    • Color: Red
    • Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm)
    • Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): false (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: auto (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Effective Pixels: 16 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Flash
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Video
    • Standardized Video Resolution: HD (720p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)

Q: What kind of Micro SD card do I need for this?

A: This camera requires a 32Gb MicroSD card. I tried larger storage options but the camera cannot handle larger MicroSD cards. The 32Gb card should give you around 2000 photos though.

Q: What happens if you put a bigger micro SD card in it than what it's supposed to?

A: The camera will not recognize the card. I did that without realizing it can only take a 32mb card. Had to go back and buy the proper sized card.

Q: How long does the camera last before you replace the batteries? Like would it last for a few hundred pictures over a weeklong campout?

A: I took about 4 pictures with fully charged rechargeable batteries before it said battery was too low to turn on flash. You'd better bring a case of batteries.

Q: Can photo images be directly downloaded to a laptop using a USB cable?

A: Yes but you have to install a software. You better off removing the micro SD card and use a card reader.

Q: Can you print right from the camera like a classic Polaroid

A: No. It does not have that function.

    At this price point, can’t complain (too much)!

    Cheap waterproof camera. For $50 it does exactly what it says it will do. View screen is worthless so you point, shoot, and hope for the best. Took it snorkeling off the coast of Oahu and got the job done. Photos include out of and in the water.

    Not a great camera, not a terrible camera.

    Not a terrible little camera, but a little awkward to operate. The buttons on the back don't correspond to choices on the menus, and make it difficult to navigate and get set up. For example, there is no directional pad or "ok" or "back" buttons, but the interface asks you to hit "ok" or "back" in the screen prompts. Some functions, like the date and time, can't be accessed because the buttons aren't correct. Pictures are not bad in full light, pretty terrible in low light, but that's to be expected for a camera at this price point. On the positive side, I bought this for my young kids to take pictures while camping and they had fun and were able to take pictures and video with little trouble.
