Not worth the money.......2007-06-17

I got this free when I bought a laptop late last year, and even then, it's barely a value at that price.

As other reviewers have said, the picture quality (yes, at the highest quality settings) is barely better than the <1 MP camera in my cheap-o cellphone. Whether using the flash or taking in a well-lit environment, you'll still need a rock-steady arm to avoid getting a big blurry mess.

I had hoped this little free camera, cute as it was, would at least help me get by after my old Fuji 3MP camera was stolen. I didn't expect it to match the Fuji's quality, but this extreme difference is inexcusable. Instead, I've gone back to using my 35mm film camera and scanner.

If you actually decide to pay money for this camera, well, I feel very sorry for you. Please spend a few bucks more and find a REAL camera...

Do Not buy this Camera.......2007-06-08

This is among the WORST customer service I have ever received in my history in the industry. The item was damaged. The company took calls on a what seemed to be a cell phone. It took a week to get an answer, they did not offer to make what was wrong right. They sent an invoice slip with no # on it or a return address. The associate was rude. You have been warned.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A DISPOSABLE CAMERA IN DISGUISE.......2007-05-11

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! IT IS ESSENTIALY A VERY EXPENSIVE DISPOSABLE CAMERA!!! I WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT ZERO OR NEGATIVE STARS BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION!

I bought this camera about a year ago for my daughter because it is relatively inexpensive and Polaroid has been around a long time. The picture quality was pretty lousy, but that really didn't matter since it was for a child...BUT, right from the start the battery did not charge...we assumed we were doing something wrong, and recently the camera was completely dead...we tried to find out how to change the battery and ended up contacting the company...this is the reply we received:

Thank you for your recent email about your needs for service.
There are no replacement parts available for the iZone 300 Digital Camera, including batteries.
If you need to order a replacement part for your Polaroid product, please call us at 877-388-3779 during office hours.
When you call us, please give the service agent your EMAIL ADDRESS so they can find you in our database for prompt processing of your request.
Regards,
Polaroid Technical Support

Not only is it crazy not to be able to replace the battery in a non-disposable type camera, but then they tell me to call to order replacement parts that they just told me don't exist...

You're better off spending a little more and dealing with someone that supports their product, like Fuji or Canon...please beware!!!!

a complete disappointment.......2007-05-01

For years I have had my old Samsung Digimax 300 of 3.2 mp, And let me tell you that is a pretty good camera, I'm using even now, and the quality of the pictures it is great, so, when my brother gave me some weeks ago the Polaroid Izone 300 I was very exciting about my new camera, cos I thougth this one it could be the choosen one to replace my old camera.

But the whole thing it was a complete dissappointment, I mean, I can not compare the quality of the pictures of my old Samsung Digimax (it is almost 4 years with me!!!) with this new one Polaroid iZone.

So if you are looking for a new, cheap and good Digital Camera, I suggest to buy a Samsung Digimax, maybe of 5 mp, you can find it here, in amazon for less than US$ 100 I think... actually I am very exciting cos I am waiting for my new Sony Cybershot DH 2, a more powerfull camera than my old Digimax, so I think that camera will be a decent replacement of my old camera, but avoid to buy this one, trust me!!!

THE WORST CAMERA I EVER HAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-02-20

I got this camera for my birthday last year and...let me tell you...DONT GET IT!!!!...this is what i dont like about it...
1. that annoying beeping noise it makes while taking a picture.
2. you take like 5 pictures and the battery dies!!!
3. (i) cant recharge it with the wall adapter thing...
4. pictures dont show up good on the screen.
5. well...its just a peice of junk!

For the price, it is a wonder. Does everything. Weight is about 8 ounces, under a pound. Very compact and light........2007-05-05

It does everything, but you need a PC to playback the sound with the video recording. Audio and video recording is easy. Can be used as PC cam. It is not too small so easy to hold and shoot, but light and nicely designed for the hand and for travel. Can easily switch between functions, delete images, safeguard images, work with images and flash. My photo tech said the photos look arty and professional at times. You can get many different effects by changing settings, which is easy to do. Can insert a SD card for huge number of photos on the road. Takes low light very well, even without flash. Auto features. I used it for 2 years and have some really fine and unique images. The downside: It can be touchy with lighting situations. Take care to avoid solarized images. Sometimes psychedelic looking poster images. Some people really like its color saturation. Have to set it for best pictures, even though it has easy auto settings, including auto flash. You can have lots of fun with it, but if all you want is snapshots, this is still worth the money until you can afford something over one hundred dollars. It does not eat up batteries the way higher end cameras do. Uses four triple AAA batteries. Very inexpensive to use. Dramatic non-flash pictures are possible.

not bad if your looking for a cheapy.......2006-07-11

i went looking for a cheapo digital camera. this turned out not to be so bad after all. its been the best. stills, video,audio, web cam, microphone, all in one. [...] bucks. what a deal. i love it.

Buying it was a big mistake.......2006-07-11

I'm so upset that I paid 70 bucks for it...it's not worth it. There are not enough features, the voice record doesn't work, and you can only capture images when they are standing still. You cannot catch anythign while it is in action or else the picture will come out blurry. Every time I took a pic with it, I had to adjust the lighting on my computer. The price is ridiculous and I would recommending everyone to save their money.

Actually too expensive for what it is........2006-02-03

I know this is one of the cheapest digital cameras you can buy. I got it on clearance at Target when it was really marked down. And I'm not picky about cameras. I always used to use $15 film cameras. But this camera is really not worth anything.

As soon as I opened the package I knew something was wrong. It's really light and plastic-feeling, like a toy. I shot a few pictures at the highest quality setting, from up close and at distance, with and without flash. When I downloaded them to my computer I was shocked at how bad they looked. Although this camera says it's 3.2 megapixels, I have to say I've seen photos of this quality from free webcams. The colors are all wrong and skin tones come out an unapealing yellow. The images are grainy. Without the flash, backgrounds are heavily shadowed. With the flash, the whole picture is white. In short, there was no way I could have used any of the pictures for any purpose at all.

I'm returning it tomorrow because I think it's a total ripoff, even at the clearance price. How much would I pay? I don't know, but the old, cheap, film cameras I used to buy are still much more useful than this thing. So you figure it out.

Don't buy it.........2006-01-02

This camera is really crappy. The only good thing about it is that it works, and it's kind of cute (despite being large).

The pictures are grainy and fuzzy and very poor quality. The flash sucks so I never use it - and in turn I can only take photos outdoors on a sunny day, because all the photos I take indoors turn out dark and orange, no matter HOW well the room is lit.

You have to press the power button REALLY hard to get it to turn on. Also, the battery compartment is poorly designed, and if it is touched when the camera is on, the camera will turn off! It's very annoying!! Not to mention it eats up batteries like there is no tommorow. I could dismiss the awful battery life if it took mind-blowing photos, but it doesn't (FAR, FAR from it.)

To sum it up:
Don't buy it. Seriously.

Good For Casual Fun.......2006-04-25

Alot of the reviews for this camera compare it's quality to those other newer cameras. Of course this camera is going to be a little less quality... it's 1.2MP!! duh.

Bottom line, this camera's main downside is it's battery consumption. Get some rechargables and problem solved. When you print out photos on standard size photo paper, the prints don't look too bad. Thus this camera is good for going to the beach, having fun around the house, etc. If you're looking to do more serious photography, pay more and get a higher megapixel. But this one will do for casual stuff.

Not the greatest.........2003-10-24

I bought this cause I needed something fast and didn't want to spend a lot of money. The unit ok ok. It eats batteries fast and picture quality is mediocre at best. I should have ponied up the cash for a better camera.

Don't bother, even for the low price.......2002-11-27

For the price, I might have accepted the noisy images, the blurry focus, and the slow response time when taking a picture. But the camera showed poor quality from the beginning, with a dim screen, flaky behavior when pressing the selector wheel, a battery cover that failed to stay closed, and poor compatibility with standard CF memory cards. Finally, within a year of purchase, the screen died and the picture counter failed.

Oh, and the rebate that was offered at the time of sale was a scam. Lots of bouncing between Amazon and Polaroid before determining that the rebate was offered by the Polaroid distributer, whos non-toll-free number hangs up after five minutes on hold.

All in all, the aggravation wasn't worth the difference in price.

Polaroid PhotoMAX PDC 1100 Digital Camera.......2002-09-10

I have had the Polaroid PhotoMax PDC 1100 digital camera for over two years now. I really like it, it has performed well. However, I must mention two items I needed to purchase in order to make this a great camera:

1. AA battery charger, saves a lot of money on batteries. 2. Extra flash memory. I bought 64 MB of flash memory which is actually over kill. I can now get approx. 108 photos on super quality (the top choice).

Keep in mind that the above purchases can be used in many other electronic hardware, so the purchase was not only isolated for the use with the digital camera.

Update Dec. 2005.

My camera finally died. It was the battery compartment that was the weak spot. I had to use duck tape for a couple of years to keep the battery door closed. But now it is not working even with good batteries in it.

Okay two years ago, but I'd go with something else now........2002-08-30

When I got this camera back in 2000, it cost about twice as much as it does now, and it was pretty good when compared to what else was available in the price range. This camera could certainly still be useful, particularly if you are using your pictures for a website, or some other low-resolution purpose. However, having used several other digital cameras since then, this really pales in comparison to what is available out there now. I would suggest spending maybe fifty dollars more, and getting a camera with optical zoom and more megapixels. This just has digital zoom, which turns out fairly grainy, and even on the highest resolution setting, it really isn't all that sharp.

The other problem with this camera is the little wheel you turn to make menu selections. Within a month or so, it was already not working well. It's kind of hit or miss now as you turn the wheel to get it to stop where you want it to. My father had this same camera, and his wheel wore out quickly as well.

If you want to buy this camera, I would suggest buying a used one, and using it to familiarize yourself with digital photography. If you are at all serious about taking good photographs, you are inevitably going to want to upgrade, so I would spend as little as possible on a camera like this one. If you're just looking for something basic to take snapshots and email to your friends, there are much cheaper models out there that could accomplish that.

POLAROID PDC-3030.......2006-05-24

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAMERA OFF EBAY FOR $24.99 W/FREE SHIPPING....CANT BEAT THE PRICE ONE BIT....

THIS IS MY FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA WITH AN LCD SCREEN....

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS ITEM....IT IS SMALL, COMPACT, EASY TO HOLD AND CARRY....IT FUNCTIONS PERFECT....I WAS EXPECTING IT TO NOT WORK SINCE THE LOW PRICE ON EBAY....IT CAME WITH EVERYTHING THAT COMES IN A BOX (EXCEPT BATTERIES)....

THE LCD SCREEN IS SMALL, BUT IT SHOWS WHAT IS NEEDED TO SEE....AUTO LIGHT FOCUS WHEN OUTSIDE....YOU TURN THE CAMERA ON IN THE SUN AND YOU CAN SEE IT FIX LIGHT IN THE LCD....

AS FAR AS THE BEEPING GOES, ITS NOT AS BAD AS EVERYONE THINKS IT IS....IT ACTUALLY HELPS....THE BATTERIES ARE A DIFFERENT STORY....IT DOES SUCK UP ALOT OF BATTERY USE EVEN WITH THE FLASH NOT IN USE....I RECOMMEND USING RECHARGABLE BATTERIES....

Polaroid PDC3030 digital camera.......2004-11-29

This camera is very small, the digital display is also hard to read in bright sunlight. For the beginner it would be great. One has to consider before buying this product that it does not come with a Smart Card, where other cameras do, [example Canon, a few dollars more]. A Smart Card for this Polaroid, 128MB, cost $45-$50, 64MB, $26-$35. One has to use a bit of grey-matter [brains]. I now live with this product as opposed to sending it back. Enuf said --30--
