Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Equipped with high-quality glass lenses for normal and zoom exposures, and a fast 4.2 mega-pixel CCD sensor, the Polaroid PDC-4355 4.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom is the perfect camera for the photographer looking for point-and-shoot simplicity with powerful optical performance. The glass lens system allows for exposures from 15 centimeters to infinity, including 3x optical and 4x digital zoom modes. The PDC-4355 also includes three image quality modes plus video-clip functionality.

This Polaroid digital camera features an auto-focus function, macro mode, and a built-in flash with four modes including; off, on, auto, and red-eye. The PDC-4355 comes with a 16-megabyte built-in flash memory for storing your pictures and video clips, which can be expanded using any commercially available SD (Secure Digital) card up to 256 megabytes. This camera supports Print Image Matching, so images recorded with it include information about the mode setting, camera setup, etc. This means when you print with a printer that supports Print Image Matching, the printer will adjust the image so that it comes out just the way you intended when you recorded it, giving you ultimate control of your photos.

You can easily transfer your images to your computer via an included USB cable, using PhotoImpression 5.0 (also included). PhotoImpression 5.0 will not only automatically launch your desktop, but will automatically detect any new photos in your camera and allow you to start transferring them to your computer by simply clicking the OK button. Powered by two AA batteries (included), this handy little camera includes everything that will allow you to be taking pictures within minutes of receiving it.

This review is from: Polaroid PDC-4355 4.13 Megapixel Digital Camera with 3X Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I bought this cam for work to take construction pics. It's good enough for such a cheap price. I wouldn't buy it for personal use. It's feels "plasticy" and it's kinda big compared to today's standard for compact cams. [...]

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst camera ever, June 28, 2006

This review is from: Polaroid PDC-4355 4.13 Megapixel Digital Camera with 3X Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I bought this camera and with it being 4mp I thought this would be a good starter camera. When I opened the box I could not believe the poor quality of this camera, it looked like a cheap plastic childs camera that is worth about $10. The flash worked only when it wanted too and the buttons would stick. It also paused for about 4 sec. between pictures. The pictures were blurry so needless to say I sent it back. Please stay away from this camera. Very poor camera.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too big, unimpressive finish, January 11, 2006

This review is from: Polaroid PDC-4355 4.13 Megapixel Digital Camera with 3X Optical Zoom (Electronics)

This camera is not made by Polaroid, as carefully explained in the box. (Too late for me, as I bought by mail and didn't know before hand). Some distributor had them made in China, and then paid Polaroid a royalty to be able to legally use their name. It's so bulky that it looks like a 35 mm! I haven't used it as I'm planning to return it. -Feb '06 update: I bought from TigerDirect, and returning is a nightmare: they put on hold forever (over 45 min.), then they placed so many obstacles as to make the process impractical. Stay away from them if you can.
