  • Surprisingly lightweight
Color: Blue
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

  • Toy cameras are better made
Color: Teal
Reviews said the quality was poor. I was willing to give it try as I thought the reviews were maybe a bit harsh considering the price point of this camera. But my 2yr olds vtech toy camera is literally better made. The Pic quality itself does not seem bad for the price point but the buttons are poorly fitted, feel like they will break when you press down on them. Worst of all is the battery compartment Latch. It is a cheap poorly fitted plastic lock Latch. Sliding to unlock position did nothing cause the Latch had shifted. So I had to try push sideways so when I slid it to the unlock/ lock it would either unlock or catch the lock. And on top of all that it felt like the Latch was going to pop out, so while shifting sideways I had to hold it down tight to stop it from just popping out. I was frankly shocked that a $20 toy camera was literally a better and more sturdy build than this Polaroid. Such a disappointment for a brand name camera. Would expect some sort of basic standard quality! I'm guessing it's the luck of the draw if you get one where the Latch is better fitted than others. And I get it's a super low end price point for a brand camera... but it's still over $50 and the point of going for a branded camera is the expectation of decent quality. ... show more

  • good mini cam
Color: Teal
It takes awhile to get a hang of the little buttons that navigate it, butttt it’s good for what it’s worth! These are just pictures out of many that I’ve taken and I love how they came out :)) It’s flash isn’t great, and to get good pictures you need good lighting. Took videos and the audio isn’t the best either, bought sd card, card reader, and batteries separate as well. Its battery usage has been okay so far, I don’t use it much but I see ppl saying it burn quick. I just turn it right off after I’m done using it! I also have rechargeable batteries that seem to be doing well. But I’m happy with it! ... show more

  • !!Mac Users - format SD card on Mac first!!
Color: Red
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

  • Not Great
Color: Teal
I don’t know if I missed this in the description or not, but you cannot take any pictures on this camera without a micro sd card. Also, the directions don’t match the camera. Says to push buttons that aren’t even on the camera. So you can’t really do anything with it. Lame.

  • These cameras glitch/freeze constantly and picture quality of very low
Color: Teal
Bought 2 for my 12 &10 yr old daughters. She wanted the silver lens cover which is what we ordered. It came with black instead. It constantly freezes and glitches. Pictures are blurry. Its on the cheaper side for cameras but the quality is still not worth the price. Disappointed.. Spend a little more for better quality. ... show more
