5.0 out of 5 stars I love it cute and compact, November 24, 2006

I just got this camera today from walgreens, after changing the frequency to 60HZ instead of 50HZ all my photo's come in clear and unblurry. It comes aready at 50HZ so if your having problems with it beeping and flashing and the picture still not right that is it. It is slow to relize your pushing buttons but it does respond. In the container I got the cord(usb), bag, batteries, and carry string. I love it.

I had had this camera for 3 months now and I can't tell you had much I love it. It has many more fetures than I would ever use but there are some drawbacks to this item. First, in low light conditions you must hold this camera steady after pushing the button or your pics come out blurred. Other than that it is a well made product.

2.0 out of 5 stars My Old Camera is Better, May 4, 2007

This review is from: Polaroid A500 5.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Digital Zoom (Electronics)

I got this camera from another site thinking it was a wonderful price for a 5.1 MP camera and a flip screen. The light sensor seems to be out of whack. Every picture I take inside without the flash ends up having a red hue (no matter what I change the setting to) and when I do use the flash many times the person is whited out. Even my old HP 3.1 MP takes better pictures, and I was buying another camera to replace it. It also can't take vertical pictures, as in when I turn the camera, the viewfinder shows it as sideways or upside down, which I found weird because I've never known a camera to do that. And when I did take a vertical picture, there was no rotate feature to be found on the camera. It also makes this annoying 'beep' when I take a picture. I'm the type of person who likes to take pictures without another person noticing and the beep is neither inconspicuous or desirable.

Other than that I really have no problem with it. It lets me change what size I want the pictures to be, which is good, I guess, even though I'll just resize them on my computer; it comes with a nice carrying case, it's a good size, and again--I love that the viewfinder flips out and that the view can be flipped as well. Had I had known everything about it before I spent my savings on it, I wouldn't have wasted my money or my time, but I suppose I can live with it now that I have it.
