COMMENTS
 so far so good ;) , haven't been able to use it yet without the manual. Ok , great starter camera for our teenager, i like this camera. i just need a manual.. I don't have much opinion since i haven't used it yet, haven't been able to try out the camera because it is packaged without a user's guide, and i could not find one at the polaroid web site. the quick-start page provides incomplete information.. Takes great pictures. not too user friendly, menus are too complicated, ok camera, scores would be higher if i knew how to use it ?.  i found the menu options and settings vague and not intuitive. , muy buen . Csn not use effectively, not as reliable as i'd like, poor image quality, easy to use though.. Poor image quality~ easy to use though., having trouble with it right now. Not much, not much..., for the money a fair camera., its a nice camera.  i love it, its easy to use and i would buy another one
, it is fine. The little tiny manual that came with the camera is pointless...i want to know how everything works., the lcd screen is very dark hard to see if i got the picture can't figure out the buttons to set the date or other features. need the manual to explain it. senior citizen, it's a great kids' camera.. Easy to use, good camera.. Great camera., i love the camera., average camera, nice quality picturs..  it is great
, nice camera. It is good, i like the cameras ease of operation., it's not a bad camera.. Blurry pictures and trying to figure out how to fix this
, it's ok. So far so good, excellent picture quality, easy to use, even for a senior citizen and thats a big plus., i am just trying to see if mine still works, its a very nice camera.  i really like the quality of the camera., was a good camera for my kids. Need to fix date, i found it difficult to learn how to use this digital camera. its definitely not a "plug & play" product. once i finally picked up on this camera i findiit easy to use but i still can't figure out how to set the date or hae it appear on the picture print outs. i am a contractor who purchased this camera to log my construction work. i use my cell telephone for date stamped photos., i put all fives because i bought it second hand and i did not get a manual with it.. Great camera, i havn't used it yet. i need the manual first.. It doesn't appear to be user friendly, i want the user's guide
, have used it in the past, but forgot how today., itw as cool.  need english.
, it was a good buy for the money.. Its alright but ather cameras are better
, confusing and the flash is weak
, good camera
