Amazon.com Product Description
The Polaroid PDC 1300 is a potent little point-and-shoot digital camera. The 1.3-megapixel CCD captures images at 1,280 x 960--great for almost anything. A 2x digital zoom makes up for the lack of an optical one at the cost of some image resolution. A built-in flash helps ensure good photos and features a red-eye reduction mode. For those who like the look of old photos, the Polaroid lets you take black-and-white pictures. The PDC 1300 is good for just about any purpose and is a great tool for sharing photos with your friends and loved ones. Not only can you make great quality prints, but you can also post the images on your Web site or e-mail them to your friends.

4 out of 5 stars Had some challenges but worked them out.......2003-04-06

Well, I too have faced some of the challenges that you have all mentioned and once I worked them out, I have been very pleased with this camera.

I received it as a gift and found immediately that it wouldn't load on XP - quick trip to Polaroid.com and I found easy instructions on how to install it on XP - now it works - I agree about the Win2000 issues though - what's up with that?

Then I had the issues with the camera freezing up, weird pictures, stopped working, etc - then a guy at Circuit City suggested I buy a new memory card - I did and was able to take 100 pictures in a row without error. Haven't had problems with that since.

I have also encountered the battery issues - however, I found that if I keep the LCD off (which I prefer anyway) and, this is the key, use RECHARGEABLE batteries specifically for electronic devices - I've had much better luck with the battery - again, took over 100 pictures with flash.

Is this a lot of work - sure, but it was a gift and was better than nothing so I tried to figure it out. Now that I have, I really like it and have some pretty good pictures as a result.

1 out of 5 stars not good service.......2002-08-28

latch on door breaks very easily and cost to fix is [money] had to take 2 back and 3rd one had to pay the cost plus shipping. Pictures are excellent but would not buy again. Feel like it is poor quality..

I have used this camera for a while and it takes a real nice pictures. ...The freezing up problem is caused by a corrupt picture (called Polaroid) and is an easy fix. As for short battery life all cameras have this problem. I've been in the tech field for about 10 years and know how these things work and why they don't. ...If you format the card through Windows (as someone did) don't expect the card to work in the camera. Windows formats cards using FAT32. Digital cameras use FAT16. Guess why it doesn't work. Overall the camera is not perfect but if you are willing to take 2 seconds to do it correctly ...you may have a little better luck. A good deal for under [the money].
