    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 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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Only thing i dont like its how sensitive it is on the sd card needs below 32 Gb microand how confusing the buttons can be but once you mess with it you get use to it but really easy to use other than that!!

    Does not work at all.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Poor Design

    This has a poor design to get into it and add your memory card and where you plug in the cord. Its all in the same place as the batteries so the battery terminals are easily damaged just by every day use. Time and date must be reprogrammed every time the battery compartment is opened.

    This is a HORRIBLE camera. It just doesn't work. When I say it dosen't work, I don't mean that it takes bad pictures, I mean it actually won't start. I bought one and it didn't work, the camera feels really cheaply made and you can tell it has kind of a subpar early days of digital camera quality feel to it so I didn't expect great pictures. But I did expect it would actually take pictures. It never would fully turn on. I returned it chalking it up to just being a cheap poorly made camera and figured we had a lemon. Well.....turns out the camera itself is a lemon. The 2nd camera I bought also would not fully turn on when we opened it. I even stopped at the Geek Squad desk and asked them to see if they could get it working. They also agreed it was a dud. Don't buy this.
