This camer is ok for a beginner. I had an old JVC vhs camcorder which is lower quality than this one, so I'm happy with this product. I needed an inexpensive DV recorder, plus this one takes great pictures too. The lighting is KEY with this camera. The night shot is useless as it does help with the brightness for the video, but it's really really jerky. Don't even bother shooting in dark environments. The still like I said are great, but again.. darkness is an issue. It does have a flash though, so that helps a little. Price for this camera was the key selling point. If the camera was terrible, I didn't lose much, but I'm happy with it. I have recorded about 5 minutes of video and taken 11 stills since I changed the batteries so far and it still says full battery. You will want to get a couple pairs of good rechargables though. AA's was another key point. I prefer it over Lithium Batters with A/C charger. If you forgot to charge your cam you're out of luck, but AA's can be bought at any convienience store in a pinch! The zoom on this is digital, so when you're zooming in during a video, it does have a little herky jerky motion, but all in all it's ok. The mic is placed on the TOP of the camera.. that's a small issue. It will pick the camera man up very well if/when they speak, but the subjects will be muffled/hard to hear. You'll want to tell your subjects to speak louder than normal to get them nice and clear. There is an small power button under the LCD enclosure. If the camera is on, just tap the power button and it turns on the Video Light (not much help, but it's there.) The polariod website says this cam can only read up to a 1gb SD card. This is false. You can use a 2gb which gives about 40 minutes of video. Transfering the files to the computer is a no brainer. Although the camera is a little slow to transfer them to the cpu. You may want a good SD card reader if transfer time is an issue for you unless your tower has one built in already. 80mb video file took about 2 minutes to transfer over for me directly from the camera. The videos the camera does make are relativley large in size, so you'll want a good video editing software to compress them and whatnot. I have not yet transfered my videos to DVD, but i'm sure I'll get what I paid for. Definitly a beginner's camera.. A pro would not be very happy with quality / function. I'd recommend this to anyone that needs a beginner camera and doesn't want to spend hundreds on a bigger model.
Finally, a camera/camcorder that actually does what it says it will do. Be aware of the storage size. It only holds 6 pictures before you by a SD card. It works very well, wouldn't exchange it for another camera!
this is my first digital camera and it is the best choice for someone like me. the price was good and it's so easy to use. the only downfall is that it takes like ten seconds to wait for the flash to recharge so you have to wait awhile between pictures. the quality is really amazing.
bought this little beauty for my wife, cant believe the price, the ease of use, or the quality. outstanding value!
The video is superb, but the camera does not work too well for still photos indoors. The camera has some awesome features though, and as a college student looking to have a camera/video cam for general use, this is small/cheap/good enough for anybody who does not mind having an okay camera.
The camcorder is a great size, great price, and my son is loving it. But I bought it for me. I had a hard time figuring out how to delete files on the camcorder - my son figured it out, but directions would have helped since you have to hit a nearly hidden button away from all the others to do it. And I have still not figured out how to actually put the files on a CD - again, no instructions as to how to do it. At least I figured out how to upload the files to the computer. I am not sure how much use we will get out of this other than playing with it, because if I can't put the files on a CD or DVD, they are very limited in thier use. Yes, the SD card is a necessity - you get about 6 seconds of video without it. And get a BIG SD as video files take a lot of space! I agree with others, it's difficult to use in low light and the quality in lower light is not good, but again, for the price, I didn't expect too much. I like the camcorder and would recommend it to others as a great entry level digital camcorder with an amazing price, but expect some frustration with it, too. A little more information and instructions on how to make it work for you would go a long way!
Bought this video camera for my daughter's 11 th birthday. She had no problem figuring out how to use it on her own. It's perfect for the short movies she and her friends like to make. It has provided countless hours of entertainment. Great item for kids, but no where near the quality an adult would want.
Is an excellent video camera for newbies to the picture world. I only gave 4 stars because of the problem of getting a dark site lit. The video light isn't enough and the flash is, many times, too bright. It's really tempermental about light. Otherwise I've been having lots of fun.
