Polaroid

For 18 dollars its worth giving to a kid for his birthday, otherwise its useless if you want to watch what you recorded in the future, i got mine at www.justdeals.com, it took longer than usual for the package to arrive but the product was new, however not worth the money if like me you want recordings worth watching

Nothing

Poor image quality, Poor sound

Good camera, good pictures not particularly great price

The Polaroid DVF-130 is a very compact, simple, and easy to use device, but if you want a serious video camera look elsewhere.

Small Size, Very Easy to use, User friendly interface, TV out connection, Very easy to use software on your computer

Price can be as high as $50 and as far as i'm concerned this is way too simple to be $50, Zoom quality is not that great, no autofocus

bargain

For the price the device is worth the money. It ain't perfect, but performs well. Internal memory is only 16MB and only holds 7 seconds of video, but adding an 8 or 16GB sdhc gives adequate room for several video shots. Handy, compact, user friendly...

decent camera for the price

I was given a polaroid dvf 130 as a present. I kept it as a spare camera, and recently, on my trip to Cambodia, I had the opportunity to take it along as a backup. The camera has some pros and cons. The bad points are, it has no standard port for a...

Polaroid digital camrecorder

I bought one last year and used it in the summertime and took pictures of a Koi Pond and the pictures turned out fantastic. If you are just using it for taking pictures in general or sending it through youtube, they come out pretty clear. I even picked...
