A complete waste of money

I bought this for Christmas my 14-year-old daughter. It was stylish and compact, and seemed like a good fit for her iPod lifestyle. I can't return it fast enough. There was only a quick reference guide for the instructions, and they were poor. The full...

Stylish and compact

Forget the flash; SW wouldn't load on 98SE

Polaroid Won't Stand Behind a BAD Product

I openned the camera out of the box, and charged it as the instructions said. The camera has absolutely no life. It won't turn on, it won't do anything. I contacted Polaroid about fixing it, and everything is at my expense. I haven't even owned the...

I can't even make it work

The camera never worked and I have to pay to get it fixed

small pics, but what FUN

purchased this camera and film package for a party 'photobooth/scrapbook' was a HUGE hit. takes a while to get the pics framed correctly, the scope is off slightly. that aside, it is a fun little camera and everyone loved!
