It was not worth a plug nickel
Burned up 3 set of batteries trying to download instruction etc. Returned it to Staples for a full refund.

It’s a terrible camera
Poor image quality negates the very reason for a camera - even a basic point and shoot. Save your money and buy one of the 3 big Japanese brands. You’ll spend more money but will be satisfied with the quality of results.

Great little camera
Need to get used to it as my other camera was a bit larger. Takes a good picture and easy to review.

Easy to use but not great quality
This camera is easy to use but the picture quality is much worse than I would have expected for a Polaroid.

Missing Memory Card
Gave this camera to my 12 year old grandson for his birthday not knowing that it needed a memory card ( guess I didn’t read the package) . When he opened it he was unable to use it right away because we did not have that essential part. He was so very disappointed. I think that one should have been included - even a small capacity card so the camera can be used upon o...

Disappointed
I had trouble uploading from the camera to my computer. In the process of trying to do so, I got the memory card jammed. It remains stuck so far. :( I been disappointed to find out that I needed a mini-memory card to make the camera work. I thought I could use my memory card from my old camera, but that was not a mini-memory card.

Polaroid camera, waterproof, iS 048
I did not learn memory card size limited to 32 GB or less until I opened camera package.
Instructions are minimal. Camera buttons difficult to read. Impossible to tell what you are viewing when screen times out or in bright daylight. Microscopic memory card the size of my little fingernail -- easy to drop and lose. Haven't tried to download yet, but assume that too ...

my experience with an understaffed store

Upon my third visit, I...

This does not have a great picture. I guess you get what you pay for. There is a short delay between the time you press the button till it actually takes the picture so if something is moving you have to press it a second or two before it gets to the frame.

Powerful camera
Camera requires two AAA batteries which is good for a few shots which is expensive to operate if you plan on using it on vacation or special events. Not very good for moving shots. Doesn’t have a macro setting. Great for emergency backup which I did. Don’t think I would buy again.
