Amazon.com Product Description
Polaroid's PDC 2300Z digital camera is a great entry-level 2-megapixel digital camera. To get closer to the action, the camera features a 2.3x optical (2x digital) zoom lens. The 2.3-megapixel CCD produces images at a resolution of 1792 x 1208, which is more than adequate for prints up to 8 x 10. The built-in flash features red-eye reduction, fill, auto, and off modes, providing a flash mode for virtually every situation. Images are stored on the included 8 MB CompactFlash card, although those interested in taking lots of high-resolution images at low compression ratios should consider investing in a higher capacity memory card. Images can be transferred to a computer via the included USB or serial cables. Polaroid says the PDC 2300Z is 'video-capable', meaning you can view photos on a television, or, for the more enterprising, record slideshows onto a blank videotape with a VCR.

Good...Kinda.......2004-07-12

THis camera worked for about 2 months. After that time it started not working properly. I couldn't use the LCD and the Optical Zoom didn't work. But I left it sit for about 2 months and it worked...wat a phenominom. I thought the image quality was good for 2.3MP. I found the software confusing though. I hated also how it sucked up batterys and it used 4 batterys. Also it was pretty heavy. But overall it was a decent camera but had some flaws.

Easy to use - great quality Digital Camera.......2002-07-30

This camera is so easy to use. I have not cracked the user's guide. The quality of the photos is more than good. The software that comes with the camera makes transfering photos to your PC simple.

You can't hurt yourself taking pictures with this Camera. Simple yet powerful!

Great Value.......2002-02-21

This will be my second Digital Camera in over 4 years and I think it is a great value. The opportunity to switch from several different pixel levels is great for just about all ocassions. The resolution on the best setting is phenomenal. I haver used it at work and at home. The uploading from camera to PC is quick and easy. Erasing unwanted pictures is also easy to do. You can view the pictures on the LCD screen on the camera, on the PC, or on the Television set. I owned a Canon Previously and it was not as easy to use the resolution was not as good quality as the Polaroid PDC2300Z and I paid double the price for that camera. Also, one more thing to add.... The batteries seem to last a long time. You do not have to use the LCD screen to take pictures you can use the traditional camera view finder. That saves a tone of $$$$ on batteries. If I could rate this camera 10 stars I would!

Great Digital: I Went Through 3 Others To Find It!!.......2002-01-21

I've been using this camera for a couple of months and find it easy to use, easy on the batteries, and takes some great photos (be sure to stock up on glossy photo card stock to print them out). You won't buy 35 mm film again (unless you're a total professional photographer). The zoom gets you in for most shots; the selectable resolution will stretch the life out of the memory (buy more than the 8 MB installed to make the most of it). My only regret was that I had to go through 3 lesser cameras to get the right one = don't make the same mistake.

2300Z Great camera.......2002-01-03

Polaroid came out with a 10! Great camera, takes great pictures.
