  • cutest cámara ever
Color: Black
I bought the cámara last summer and it takes pictures in a low quality camera vibe but that’s expected since it’s a cámara but they come out super aesthetic. It’s lightweight and I’ve taken it to the beach so many times and is perfect like it was genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever purchased but it stopped turning on randomly idk why but I bought the protection warranty and they give me back my money. Trust me is worth it ... show more

  • Doesn't work! Don't buy.
Color: Red
Bought this as a birthday gift for my son. He was so excited. But the camera wouldn't stay on. It was such a disappointmentfor his pool party. Figuring out how to format the SD card was impossible. The camera kept turning off for no reason during the set up and would just shut down while using. We would have to let it sit and rest before we could get it to turn on again. It also drained the AAA batteries within 15 to 30 min. Cheap material and poor photo quality also. The only nice thing about it is the case that came with it. ... show more

  • Surprisingly lightweight
Color: Red
So this camera is above all else incredibly lightweight, almost feeling like a toy. It needs two AAA batteries to work and a Micro SD card, neither are included in the kit. Granted, this does have its pros and cons as rechargeable batteries for cameras can be very specific and costly if you want backups, but any AAA batteries will work for this, just make sure you have them on hand. For stuff like this I tend to buy rechargeable batteries so I essentially have exactly what I need just in a different form to keep this powered up. In terms of picture quality, it ranges from low quality, about 2m up to 16m, depending on your preferences and storage space for your device. The interface is fine, you'll get used to it eventually if this is your first time using a Polaroid or digital camera. Not exactly intuitive but, again, it will just take a couple uses to get in the groove of using this quickly. Initial setup was simple enough to figure out in terms of setting up my language and time/date. There's a function to automatically send photos to a social media account of your choice, do I haven't really mess with that too much. I got this as a gift from my mother for upcoming trips and cruises on the horizon. The strap included wraps around tightly and gives a good grip around your wrist in case of sudden drops or going over Bridges and you do not want to risk the camera falling away. The waterproof casing is something I have yet to fully test but it is noticeable mostly around the battery port which is pretty tricky to open, at least with one hand, and has a Tight Seal around to protect the battery and memory card so do use a bit of force when pushing this open. The data cable is fine, pretty standard USB type a cable for transferring photos back and forth between computers and the camera itself. The color is extremely accurate for the product, a very distinctive vibrant blue, and the matching silicone case is the same general color but provides a stronger grip all around the camera to make this easy to use for beginners or Pros alike. ... show more

  • Perfect kid camp camera--and very waterproof
Color: Black
We got this camera for my son to take to sleep away camp, where cameras were encouraged but he couldn't bring "electronics" and wouldn't be able to charge devices. Though I was initially discouraged by the reviews about the poor photo quality, I decided to buy it after reading the headline, "Only slightly better than a disposable camera." Our only other option was a disposable camera and this was a way better option, considering the price, the large number of photos it could hold, and its ability to also take video. It also was the only inexpensive digital camera that used batteries, which was essential in our case. Sure, the picture quality isn't great but it definitely captured very special memories -- even the memory of the camera accidentally falling into the water and being perfectly fine. (He then took a video as he deliberately jumped in the water holding the camera.) When the camera first arrived we took some test pictures indoors with the flash and they really were quite terrible (a grey wall--and everything else-- appeared orange!) but at camp without a flash the colors look perfectly fine. Close-ups aren't always focused on the intended object. Outdoor, daytime, long-view scenic shots turned out best and are quite nice! We were able to upload the pictures to our computers and watch the videos with sound (playback on the camera is visual only). It was well worth the price and a much better deal all around than a disposable camera. ... show more

  • !!Mac Users - format SD card on Mac first!!
Color: Blue
DO NOT FORMAT SD CARD ON CAMERA IF USING A MAC. This camera drove me nuts before I stumbled on the solution to SD card problems. Lost two trips worth of photos and video because my Mac wouldn’t read the SD card and spent tons of money on recovery programs without recovering anything. HERE’S THE FIX: you have to format the SD card on your Mac using Disk Utility and choosing “MS-DOS (FAT)” . . . After this, I could freely access all new photos and videos without issue by plugging the card into my Mac. As for everything else, you get what you pay for. The camera takes grainy photos and video, and the battery life is very poor. The menu buttons must be made for a different camera, because the functions don’t match and navigating is not intuitive. But it works and is cheap if you aren’t expecting much in terms of quality and user experience. ... show more

  • Great for the beach this summer!
Color: Teal
This camera has been so fun on our latest beach trip. Being able to use it in the ocean or by the pool, it allows us to get pictures that we would never be able to capture otherwise. My kids love it, it’s the perfect size for my 7 year olds small hands. Also it’s very simple to use. It's very lightweight and the compact size is great for tossing in my beach bag or pocket even. It has a wrist band so that my daughter can wear it and not misplace it. I like how quickly it charges, you won’t miss out on any photo opportunity due to a dead camera - it has a long lasting battery life. The picture quality is great, clear, crisp and vivid photos. I can’t wait to see what fun memories we capture this summer. ... show more
