This review is from: Polaroid CAA-544HC 5.0 Megapixel Digital Camera with 2.4-inch LCD Display (Blue) (Electronics)

I will admit that I didn't research this product thoroughly before I bought it. I wanted a cheap digital camera for my 1st grader and thought the kid cameras were too "babyish" looking for him. I thought he'd like the sleek blue grown-up look. And he did. But between opening it yesterday morning and when he went to bed, we changed the batteries 3 times. Kind of annoying. The camera also got stuck once in some kind of busy loop, and I had to restart it by popping out the batteries. Of course the Polaroid support site is useless for trouble-shooting problems. The pictures were easy enough to download to my Mac and iPhoto. Not sure positively about the picture quality: I'm fairly sure my son got off of auto focus at some point. The viewfinder's picture is somewhat grainy, so it's hard to tell if the resulting picture is a good one or not.

All in all, my son loves this camera and it is easy enough to use. That is all I wanted from it, and that's all I got.
