Not THAT bad

Date of Review:  Mar 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you are a beginner or just looking for something basic, I would recommend this camera. It takes descent pictures and you can always edit the picture to your liking.
Review: From reading the reviews, it seems that I am the only one that has had any luck with this camera. Now I'm not going to say this is the best digital camera. I find that it meets basic needs for those wanting something a little more high-tech then...

Do Not buy this camera!

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2007
Review: I used this camera twice and it simply stopped working. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone. After only taking a few pictures with it, and having it for less than 2 weeks it would no longer turn on.

Date of Review:  May 26, 2007
Review: got this cam along w/ a digital frame for Mom on Mother's Day...do you know how awkward it is to ask for a gift back so you can replace it w/ something else? Image on LCD is so dark as to be unviewable indoors, and, lacking any other kind of...

Problems overwhelm positives for this Polaroid

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: I returned ours and I noticed they pulled the sales at the store. Not even fool proof for beginners.
Review: Where do I start on the reasons I didn't like the camera:
- Pictures were underexposed without flash
- Pictures were overexposed with flash, some were really overexposed as in washed out completely white faces
- Even in a moderately...

Just okay...

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's just okay-- I regret not shopping around more.
Review: I wish I would have spent an extra $50 and bought something nicer. I wanted a small, easy to use camera to carry around in my purse that took fairly good quality photos. I'm disappointed with the picture quality on this camera. Indoor pictures turn...

Polaroid a520 Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2007
Review: This camera is AWFUL!!! The picture quality and battery life are horrible. The first time I used this camera was at a wedding. I only took a few pictures during the ceremony (turning it off when I wasn't using it) and by the reception the batteries...
