Customer Reviews

I bought this camera as a spare to keep in my purse -- it's very small and lightweight. It's very inexpensive, so I knew there would be some concessions, but for me, it's still not worth the price (I paid $88 on sale).
The LCD is extremely dark. In low-light(indoors, lamplight), I couldn't see anything at all. Images are only visible in very bright light, and even then appear a bit dim.
There is a long lag time between snapping the picture and the image being available -- 5 or more seconds.
Buttons are sometimes unresponsive -- both the on/off and the shutter.
Photos are poor quality, even though they are 5 MP. Images are not crisp and flash is too bright for objects closer than 3 ft. Video is also poor quality.
I would not recommend this camera to anyone.

After seeing the poor reviews below, I had to come review this Polaroid i532. I have had this camera for many years and have loved it! Despite what the others said, I have NEVER had any problems with responsiveness and I have always gotten great pictures from it. Check Flickr for the same user name here and you will found thousands of well done photos I have taken with this camera. It shoots well both indoors and out, does great close up text and small item pictures, and the video mode works fine for the camera size and price point. Though 5 MP is "small" by today's standards, for most casual photographers just wanting 4x6-8x10 pics and to share pictures online, that is more than enough. However, at its max resolution, this camera can produce smaller poster prints and images of good enough quality to go into a photo book I printed earlier this year. This was my second digital P;S, with my first also being a Polaroid.
Like any digital camera that uses AAs (its only minor flaw), it does drain them fast (especially on video mode), but this is easily dealt with by getting some rechargeable batteries. $10-20 investment for a charger and four batteries and you're good to go. It is a great sized camera, easily slipping into most shirt pockets, jackets, purses, etc. Considering how long I've had mine, and all its been through, it is also very durable. This is a great camera for anyone wanting a simple, easy to use point-and-shoot digital at an affordable cost. Highly recommended!
