Its a great camera..... for now!, July 1, 2010

This review is from: Polaroid 5.0 Megapixel Digital Camera with 2.7 Inch LCD Display (Electronics)

If your looking for a cheap camera, here ya go! Its light weight, easy to operate, easy to handle! Not exactly what i thought it was going to be but it'll work for now, considering the fact that it doesn't seem very durable. I bought this brand new and when i pulled it out of the package, it sounded like something was loose inside the camera. I Found out that a 1GB memory card only takes about 15 minutes of video. I suggest a 3GB or higher for longer videos. Also, it doesn't seem to play the audio until it gets on the computer. It takes a while to adjust the image to where its not blurry. This particular camera comes with the cord and two AA batteries already inside the package. I'm sure adjustment can be made when you upload pictures and video. Just buy some rechargeable batteries and a 3GB+ memory card. I expected better but like i said, its a great camera....for now!
