5.0 out of 5 stars What a great camera, what a great price!, June 16, 2000

I had been looking at digital cameras for several months when I ran across the Poloriod PhotoMAX PDC 1100 here at Amazon. I was a little skeptical as I had not seen it in any B&M stores and I already knew I liked the Olympus 360L, but I decided that for the price, I would try it and if I didn't like it I would just return it and get the Olympus. I am very happy I decided to try the Polaroid first. I love the single button control and full function menu. It is so easy to operate that even my 7 year old can take great pictures. In the week that I have been using it, I have gotten some wonderful pics and was delighted with the detail and clarity of the prints. There are 4 resolution settings, option of color or B&W, 6 focus settings, time/date imprinting, and 2 LCD light settings. The software has little documentation included, but it is really self explanatory, and I have found Polaroid to be more than willing to answer my questions. Also, I can use the software with my scanner and digital microscope as well as the camera. The USB connection is one of the best features, as it reduces download time signficantly and makes the purchase of a card reader unnecessary. I can download the entire 4 mb card almost instantly with this camera, where as with other camera's serial connection it can take as much as 10 minutes. I would recommend purchasing a larger memory card, but a 16 mb should cost less than the $50 rebate and, when combined with the 4 mb included, should be adequate for most users. This package also includes an AC adapter ($50 for most cameras), serial and USB cables, NTSC cables for viewing pics on your TV, a soft carry case, wrist strap, 4 AA batteries, 4 mb compact flash card, camera, and software. I would recommend this camera to anyone in the market for a quality digital camera. Whether you want to replace your 35mm or just publish to the web, the Polaroid PhotoMax PDC 1100 is a wonderful camera with a wonderful price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great camera for the price!, May 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Polaroid PhotoMAX PDC 1100 1.2MP Digital Camera Creative Kit (Electronics)

This camera is a great buy for the money with a maximum resolution of 1,152 x 864 pixels and a great LCD monitor. The high resolution for this price range provides a slightly better picture quality than a 35mm. The pictures are quite stunning and detailed. I have one recommendation for anyone buying this camera, buy a 8mb card. The 4mb provided card works fine but only provides 12 pictures on the "high" picture setting(1152 840) and just 6 pics on "super"(1040 1040). So I'd buy at less an 8mb if not 16+mb card.This camera is very simple to use with only one botton controling the menu. The software provided is pretty good and can greatly improve the quality of your pictures. I really enjoy this camera and recommend it for anyone.

I purchased the Polaroid PDC1100 digital camera and would recommend it to anyone. I like the complete package. AC Adapter, USB connecting cable, Camera Case & TV connecting cable are all included. Since purchasing the camera I have spoken to tech. support at Polaroid. They are extremely helpful. But most important is the quality of the pictures you will get with this camera. I have in front of me beautiful printed pictures taken with this camera. If your looking for a moderate priced camera I recommend this Polaroid
