Polaroid DVC-00725F Reviews

Consumer review by: morris.davis (cnet.com)

The DVC-00725F camcorder did exactly as stated.

If my primary computer was Windows OS, I would be very upset that I did not buy two of these cameras at $100 dollars. This camera works exactly as they stated on the box. The software works as they state on the box. I did call Polaroid, but they had no...

This camera is very simple to use ; Worth $100 dollars ; Installs and runs on my Acer Net-book with zero problems ; The software is better than I expected ; Editing in windows is a breeze ; The software is configured for windows OS users

Setup is the hardest part of the camera ; Mac users must convert files first ; Editing in Final cut sucks big time ; The tripod mount is easily breakable

Great sports video on a budget for soccer moms/dads.

I wanted nice videos of soccer games with good zoom and at the cheapest price possible. I was pleasantly surprised by this camcorder and have really enjoyed it. At the price I got it for, it was a steal. Battery life has been very good. If you're a...

I bought one a year ago strictly to capture my son's high school soccer games, day and night games under lights. I purchased it for a hundred less than the listed price. Using the high def settings, I got amazing results (for $130 buck camera)

Tough to see screen in bright sun, but not impossible. Putting the video clips together to make one video of a soccer game (using the software that comes with it) results in videos with less resolution than the individual clips by themselves

Not worth it

There wasnt enough room in the "Cons" box. Basically everything about this camera sucks. But the camera itself looks nice.

Looks nice, allows you to zoom in on video playback, HDMI output, usb, records to SD card, Decent still pictures with flash

Supposed maximum of 4gb SD card, Horrible video quality in dark light (not so great in bright either), cheap construction, slow zoom, cheap screen, numerous lines in the lens, turns on randomly, plastic tripod mount hole, DETESTFUL audio quality

Do not buy this camcorder!!!

Worst thing I have ever had te misfortune of spending my money on!!!

Its light, inexpensive and the body looks nice

The video quality is beyond horrible. There is no way that they can even consider this a 720p quality, my phone takes better video

Can't recommend it

This is a cheap Chinese camera sold under the Polaroid brand name, but it's also been sold under other names. I bought this about a year ago on Woot for $130, which was a great price for a camera that shoots 720p, although the video was not so great:...

Terrible product

This is the worst camcorder I have ever seen. Every part of this camcorder is terrible. Video looks dark, grainy, and is worse than my video cell phone. Although the resolution is in "HD" the pixels are blocky. It will require a lot of work to get a...

You get what you pay for.

I got this camera from another e-tailor for about $100. In short, it's a great camera for the money, but don't buy this thinking it's an alternative to a $1000 CamCorder. The old saying "you get what you pay for" applies here more than ever. DO NOT...
