    Not bad for an inexpensive camera that will take pics/videos underwater. I have to say, though, the picture quality is not the best. I'm not a professional photographer, but it's pretty hard to get a good, clear picture. The kids have enjoyed it though and it was a good buy for a family who spends time in the water.

    This is the worst digital camera I've owned since 2002 or so. The image quality is potato and the battery life can be measured in hours. Maybe it doesn't have an auto power off? The menus aren't even written in correct English. Poor product, zero QA. I honestly don't recommend it.

    Bought this for my daughter. Overall quality is good it is what you would expect out of a budget camera. For younger enthusiasts this will get the job done. Only true reason for the 4 stars is it takes triple A batteries not rechargeable which can be a hassle. But very good camera overall.

    Like many of the other reviews, made it through one charge cycle and then bricked. Didn't expect much based on the low price point, but I figured it would at least make it a few months. Bought this for my kid since he expressed interest in taking pictures. What a disappointment.

    Durable camera but image quality is horrible. Despite low cost, camera sensors should be higher quality at this point of a basic cameras life cycle.

    This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my wife. She does not have nor want a cell phone but wanted to take an occasional snapshot while on cruises. Simple to operate and light enough to not burden her purse. She really likes the simplicity of use.

    I got it for my 10 year old daughter. I thought that they would improve upon the design and functionality since the last time i bought a digital camera in 2006, don’t expect anything new with this one.

    This camera simply did not work, period. Best Buy made it clear that I had to get redress from Polaroid. Polaroid has an impenetrable website for technical assistance and returns. Kiss that $50 good bye.

    Does not work at all.

    Not functional as a camera. Pressing the power button displays a blue screen with the word "Welcome". No functionality beyond that. That's all it does. Pressing any button besides power does nothing. Possibly useful as a paperweight, but badly overpriced for that purpose.

    Got this for my 9 year old daughter. Not super easy to use. Menu items don’t match up to the buttons as they should. Slow to focus, as with most pint and shoot digital cameras. So lots of blurry pics. Definitely not the best quality. Did expect better even though it was inexpensive.
