Cons: You have to hold button down for awhile to take picture.
Overall: I liked the picture quality on this camera but thats about it. The button you have to hold for at least 2 to 4 seconds for it to take the picture when you have little kids you want something thats instant. I brought this is 2004 and it stopped working all together 2007. The price was good but not worth it if you need something fast. There are other canon brands that are way better then this. The battery power doesnt last long so i brought rechargeables and you get alot longer out of them. Overall i wouldnt recommend this because of the issues this one had.
THE BAD: Extremely poor image quality not worth the price.
OVERALL: The camera is small, which is good, but it feels like JUNK. The AAA batteries add a little bit of weight to it, but not enought to make it feel like this Polaroid is an actual camera. The LCD screen is fairly small and of low quality. Unless the photographer using this camera goes outside in bright sunlight the image on the screen will be too dark too see the shot. The beeping noise the camera makes is intolerable, however, it can be silenced. I don't recommend this camera.
Cons: take a long time to take a photo, you have to hold the button down for 2-3 seconds
Overall: Takes good photo's but chews through the batteries. The instuction say you can get about 75 photos for from the batteries but i only seem to get about 10 -15. i have tried 3 sets of batteries all good brands for camera but this has not extended the amount of photo's stated in the instructions. I went to purchase a power pack to use with it when i was downloading the pictures of it but it cost over $120 for one.
so what im saving on not purchasing film and developing i am spending on batteries.
