I've had this camera a few years now, just ordered a new one here on Amazon and out of curiosity looked up my old one on here.
It has been a good camera, and still works. I'll second the review about the battery cover. I had the camera replaced once for it, but the second one did the same thing. The pressure of the batteries in the compartment bows out and cracks the battery door, and the cracks keep expanding with use to make it fall apart. Now I have tape holding the door together, and tin foil to complete the circuit on the batteries.
Photo wise the images were good. I can't go into technical detail, but it was satisfactory for normal use. I did attempt to photograph things like the moon with no luck, it's automatic settings were unable to compensate for that it seemed, or I did not know what settings to use. Also it has no compensation for shaking or movement, a lot of photos are blurry. Taking photos indoors is annoying, with the flash on it is too bright and you have reflections, with it off there is no way you can hold it sill enough to get a clear image without a tripod.
I would not recommended this camera for the battery door only. You have to use it a lot to access the SD card. (My computer has a reader built in, and I use it, so I needed to open/ close the door frequently.) If Polaroid had not skimped on quality in this area it would last much longer, and be a good, small, point and shoot camera.

A must buy for the picture taker! For its low price, you get a high resolution and a user friendly camera. The only problems I have are the indoor shots, which require precise aim and control to reduce blur, and the automatic focus. I like to focus my pix by myself.

I purchased this camera almost one year ago so this an informed review. The pictures this camera takes can't be matched for the price. The features and ease of use are also outstanding. By this time you are probably wondering why only 3 stars. Well, I am about to send the camera back for the second time. The battery cover is made of a soft and flimsy plastic. Since the camera runs through regular AA batteries and the SD card is also in the battery compartment, it gets a lot of use and subsequently breaks relatively easily. If you can put up with the pain of sending it back, the service has been great. But if for no other reason than that stupid little cover, I probably wouldn't buy this camera again.
