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. [...]

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.

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.

I had the same problem. The Camera never worked for me. It always did what I didn't want it to do, and it was horrendous on batteries. It gives Polaroid a bad name, and I am not happy I was misled by the stores.

I've had this camera for a few months. And it's terrible. The buttons frequently do not work, the shutter often gets "stuck" outside of the camera, and the battery latch keeps falling off. Will never buy from Polaroid again.

I purchased this camera the day after Thanksgiving last year and now the Lens will not re-tract or extend. I contacted polaroid and they will not repair the camers (even at a charge). I contacted a polaroid authorized dealer and they cannot reair the camera either because polaroid will not sell them parts. DO NOT PUCHASE DIGITAL POLARID CAMEERAS unless you want to throw away money.

We had the same complaints as cited previously. The start button was always erratic, which was very frustrating. It used up AA batteries very quickly. Eventually I dropped it and the latch over the batteries broke so it wouldn't work. Unlike some, I thought the pictures were okay and the camera's appearance was okay. I would not recommend this camera; it is just frustrating
