Disappointing
- 24 octobre 2017This is one purchase that I regret. The camera is a pretty color, but that is about the only positive thing I can say at this point. It is very cheap. The compartment with the batteries/memory card is very difficult to open. There is no rechargeable battery- instead, it uses 2 AAA batteries. Furthermore, it only uses micro SD cards- I found one to put in and now it has gotten stuck in the compartment and I can't get it out. I'd love to comment on the picture quality, but between the SD card not coming out and it not working when I connect the camera via the provided USB to my computer, I honestly cannot. It definitely appears that getting pictures off of the camera is very time consuming and frustrating, and I guess I'm assuming that eventually I will be able to get them off. I would not recommend this product- pay a bit more and get one that is better quality and does not have these issues.

Battery eater!
- 28 février 2020I bought this product to take a few underwater pics when snorkeling. This product needs 2 AAA batteries. I used 4 sets of batteries for 50 pics and 3 videos. Ridiculous! Also it's not super clear when you buy the product that there is no internal memory and you need a micro SD card take a picture. Quality of the pics were so so. I returned it!

piece of junk
- 9 mars 2019I took this camera on vacation with hopes of getting pictures in and out of the water. Don't know how many batteries I went through. Terrible purchase. Expected so much more form Polariod

The worst camera ever
- 18 décembre 2017Battery compartment very hard to open, came without a user manual, the buttons on the back of the camera did not match the ones on the screen, tried to set the date and time - gave up after 30 minutes, I'm afraid to give it away- the person might hate me for the rest of his life. The camera was a gift fom my wife and daughter they thought Polaroid was a good brand ...... lesson learned.

Disappointing
- 5 janvier 2021Camera EATS batteries. When the batteries get low, the camera freezes. Memory card does not hold in place allowing it to pop out when you open the battery door.

Less than expected
- 31 décembre 2016First of all, it has a brand name that in its day was the instant cameras of instant cameras. And the price was certainly great, which should have been a warning. It is a very compact and light (in weight) camera). Unfortunately, the image quality is quite disappointing. In fact, it is reminiscent of the old original Polaroid instant cameras. Not a compliment in this age of phone cameras, which probably outshine this Polaroid.

Terrible Product
- 26 octobre 2021Poor picture quality, on screen button instructions don't match the buttons on the camera. Bewildering to use and there is no instruction manual available. Consumes batteries waaay too quickly. Connection s/w for PC can't find the camera. Windows can't find the pictures on the separately purchased SD card. Nothing positive to say about this camera - I will be returning despite the BestBuy re-stocking fee.

Useless
- 27 décembre 2020Bought this for my 4 year old to play with, but I'm returning it. Can't download the software anymore for the latest MacOS Big Sur. My computer doesn't recognize it when plugged in with the included USB cable, and I don't have a card reader. The buttons/interface are awful and way more confusing than any other camera I've ever owned. I was really hopeful that it would be better than the $30 amazon junky kids cameras but it's basically un-usable.

great price, gets the job done
- 17 avril 2023I didn’t have any expectations based on previous reviews, but for 54$ I took the gamble. The photo quality is great, we used this on a snorkel trip and the pictures were excellent. We used and SD card reader to get the photos off, super easy, didn’t try it with a computer. Cons would be battery life and AAA, as well as micro SD vs SD, but honestly for the price you can’t really complain.

Don’t do it
- 3 novembre 2019You have to download a program to get your pictures off the camera but then the program doesn’t work. You cannot take the pictures off or do anything with them. I have hundreds of pictures from a trip that are hostage on this program. It is a waste of money and time. I am disgusted with this.
