POLAROID A500 QUICK START GUIDE

COMMENTS

 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, works well
