This review is from: Polaroid A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 4x Digital Zoom (Electronics)

I was looking for a cheap digital camera, because the previous one I had broke and the company refused to fix it. So I saw this, thinking it would be a good camera. But its not. This has to be the worst digital I've ever seen. And I've seen some bad ones.

The main issue I have is that the display screen sucks. No matter how bright it is around you, the screen is always dark, to the point where you can't make anything out. I read through the manual to see if there was anything I could do to remedy the problem, but I had no luck with it.

The second issue I have is that the battery life sucks. I've never seen a camera eat up batteries so quickly in my life. You can take maybe 5 pictures and then the whole camera shuts off and your batteries are dead. Even if you put brand new batteries in the thing.

Other issues are that the flash is just right out annoying. You have to constantly wait for the flash to be ready, which seems to take forever. And then when its finally ready, it wont let you take the picture. Or the batteries will go dead. And forget about taking a picture without the flash, because you'll be left with an almost black picture, which you cant make anything out.

When you do take a picture with the flash, you get an okay picture, but it looks grainy. I had to use my photo editor to clean it up.

The video option sucks as well. You only can film 60 seconds. And the video turns out dark and you cant make anything out. Plus you can barely hear the audio of it.

Dont waste your money on this camera. I ended up just tossing the thing because it was so bad.

Pretty simple & easy to work with. I had problems with lighting for a while, pictures turned out VERY DARK. Finally, I found the setting that fixed this problem... now pictures are way better. It really doesn't take good pictures in the dark, but you can make the picture out if you're on the right setting. Camera is nice overall, and very light weight, which is a pretty good thing. This is a good priced camera, but you are getting what you pay for. If you're not too serious about your pictures, and just need something at a good price; this camera is for you! (:

All I wanted was a cheap digital camera. I understood that for the price, I would have to sacrifice quality. But, really, when the box says "16MB of internal memory" I expect it to take pictures without paying for a memory card. When the box comes with a USB cable, I expect my computer to detect it... at all... ever.

I had a digital camera ten years ago that eventually broke. The camera, back then, cost $50. It wasn't very good, even by ten years ago's standards... but guess what? I had fond, nostalgic memories of how good the picture quality was, how good the display was, and how great it was to use my old, cheap, obsolete camera.
