I bought this camera for my daughter for her 13th birthday and she loves it. She’s in love with the color, how crystal clear the picture quality is, & how you can makes videos on it. Her older sister has a camera, and she is jealous of this camera! I would really recommend it!
I had the same problem I noticed other reviewers complaining of. After about a week the camera just stopped working. The lens gets stuck in the open position and refuses to turn back on. At first I was able to push on the lens, make it close and go back into the camera. It probably “worked” for another two weeks if you were gentle and patience with the device. Now it seems beyond repair. The lens is stuck half way out with the shutter open. The picture quality was great while it worked, but we only got to take picture twice before the problems begain.
I ordered this camera because I was needing to upgrade the one I currently own and I trust Polaroid. The price was reasonable and the product sounded superb…I loved the fact it was a 10 mega pixel camera and the LCD screen was huge! I was ecstatic when I finally received it and started using it. There are plenty of great features and the menu is fairly self-explanatory. The pictures are of excellent quality, too…I can’t believe how crystal-clear they turned out! In addition to this, you have the option of changing the screen size, something I was not able to do with the other 2 cameras I owned, and it can be fun. I also purchased a 4 GB SD card as a bundle package with this camera, so I have well over 3,000 pictures left even though I’ve already taken 100 (I’ve had the camera for about 2 months).
The only complaint I have? I’ve noticed this stated by other reviewers, too. The battery life is HORRIBLE! When I’m taking pics quite a bit, it only lasts a couple of hours, and that’s on a full charge. I then have to charge it with the battery charger that’s included, but to get the battery completely charged takes a few hours. SUCKS!! So if you’re looking for a camera with a good quality battery, don’t buy this one! Spend the extra money and buy a Nikon or something comparable.
Other then that, though, it’s perfect! I’m overall satisfied with my purchase.
I bought this camera from Amazon and actually Amazon has ripped me off repeatedly, I wont be shopping with them anymore unless Im 100% desperate. They are no help whatsoever. I bought this camera it came with the wrong charger wrong battery wrong everything….it was a mess the seller gave me a $20 refund to buy those items myself which ended up costing much more but whatever. The camera one day out of the blue stopped working I sent it to Polaroid because its under warranty. Well come to find out this suposed new item I was sold from AMAZON’s 3rd party seller had tampered with the camera and made the warranty invalid. Although they claimed it was new. I contacted Amazon they said there was nothing they could do that I should contact THEIR 3rd party seller. They were aware of the first issue but didnt care. I contacted the seller who is New Harbor they didnt respond. So if you buy this camera go directly through Polaroid they will atleast fix the problem because if they sell you a defective camera they will take responibility. Amazon and NEW HARBOR dont care and will rip you off. The overall quality of the camera was ok but they do have nicer ones. I would stay in the T series but not this camera.
Great little camera. Good quality. But, was not Macintosh compatible, could not use USB to hook up to my computer. Did not recognize the camera as did my flash drive. my external hard drive etc. Too bad! I loved this camera. Sold it to a friend w/a PC. I hope to find a similar camera here that I can use w/my Mac.
