Polaroid IS048 Digital Camera - Small Lightweight Waterproof Instant Sharing 16 MP Digital Portable Handheld Action Camera (Black)

i use this pretty frequently as this was a gift. it did not come with an SD card. i don’t remember if it came with batteries however. I feel like i frequently have to change out the batteries though so im not sure if it’s the camera or the batteries im using being weird. I also had an issue with it a few months after i had gotten it where the screen just froze and would not take a pictures, it would only turn off and on. i do like the pictures it takes though

Haven't even gotten a chance to use this camera because we've run into all the issues everyone else has reviewed it poorly for. Instructions are minimal at best. We had the 'stuck on "Welcome" screen' issue but somehow my husband fixed that issue. There is no warning that you need just a plain SD card and not what every other seller is selling online (SDXC etc.) We went through two different sets of Micro SD cards until we realized that was a thing. Additionally buttons are not well labeled/easily readable and it is difficult to get the hang of how to use them to navigate the camera menu. There is a trouble shooting print out that comes with the camera but none mentioned how to fix the issues we were having. Instructions briefly mention you might need to download new firmware but does not give specifics of how to do that. That and it mentions you might need to format your card but if you're having issues with the card in the first place you can't get to the menu to preform the format. Among other things, the screen is grainy and looks like it already beat up but it hasn't even made it out the door to summer camp with our 8 year old. I do not recommend buying this camera. You get what you pay for. Straight from China piece of junk made of poor quality and sub par functionality. I returned this and bought a higher price point camera asap.

So this camera is above all else incredibly lightweight, almost feeling like a toy. It needs two AAA batteries to work and a Micro SD card, neither are included in the kit. Granted, this does have its pros and cons as rechargeable batteries for cameras can be very specific and costly if you want backups, but any AAA batteries will work for this, just make sure you have them on hand. For stuff like this I tend to buy rechargeable batteries so I essentially have exactly what I need just in a different form to keep this powered up. In terms of picture quality, it ranges from low quality, about 2m up to 16m, depending on your preferences and storage space for your device. The interface is fine, you'll get used to it eventually if this is your first time using a Polaroid or digital camera. Not exactly intuitive but, again, it will just take a couple uses to get in the groove of using this quickly. Initial setup was simple enough to figure out in terms of setting up my language and time/date. There's a function to automatically send photos to a social media account of your choice, do I haven't really mess with that too much. I got this as a gift from my mother for upcoming trips and cruises on the horizon. The strap included wraps around tightly and gives a good grip around your wrist in case of sudden drops or going over Bridges and you do not want to risk the camera falling away. The waterproof casing is something I have yet to fully test but it is noticeable mostly around the battery port which is pretty tricky to open, at least with one hand, and has a Tight Seal around to protect the battery and memory card so do use a bit of force when pushing this open. The data cable is fine, pretty standard USB type a cable for transferring photos back and forth between computers and the camera itself. The color is extremely accurate for the product, a very distinctive vibrant blue, and the matching silicone case is the same general color but provides a stronger grip all around the camera to make this easy to use for beginners or Pros alike.

Okay, the camera is crap. The buttons are crap. The UI tells you to press buttons that don’t exist. The latch is crap. But for the price and for an 11-year-old, it’s great except… Nowhere does it say on the camera description on Amazon that you need a class 4 card. So I bought an Amazon’s Basics card 128GB for $15 only to discover that it didn’t work because it’s a class 3 card! Anyway, picked up a 32GB card class 10 and all is great.

The quality of this camera is reflective of its price. Not the best out there. It is easy to use, and the photo quality is just meh. It kind of has that vintage feel to it, grainy for sure. Only takes the microSD, which is hard to use sometimes. The camera itself is a good size and I like that it came with a case.

I bought the cámara last summer and it takes pictures in a low quality camera vibe but that’s expected since it’s a cámara but they come out super aesthetic. It’s lightweight and I’ve taken it to the beach so many times and is perfect like it was genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever purchased but it stopped turning on randomly idk why but I bought the protection warranty and they give me back my money. Trust me is worth it

After purchasing two of these exact cameras no luck ion functioning, my daughter wanted to bring a point a shoot camera on vacation this summer, it was near impossible to put batteries in, I actually went to local best buy for assistance and we broke the battery compartment attempting to put batteries in on the first camera. purchased a SECOND and this one did not work. was able to struggle and get batteries in then it powered on and nothing was visible, unable to take a single photo. Also what needs to be mentioned here is although the camera will cost about $50 bucks, you need to purchase a mini SD card and batteries so you ultimately can expect to pay at least $100 for something that DOES NOT WORK, no returns or refunds! THIS IS THE WORST CAMERA ON THE MARKET do not waste your money.

Note you need a micro SD card, not SDXC. I bought a high gig SDXC card and it didn’t work with it and came up with a “Card Error” Message. So I then got the lowest, 32 GB SDHD memory card and it worked fine! But after literally two days, it stopped working. It now says, “Memory card not ready” then proceeds to the same message as before saying “Card Error.” You definitely get what you pay for- so you get $50 photo quality. Audio on videos is really bad. Even though I bought the camera on Amazon, when I was talking to the target employee about the memory card and showed him the camera I have (they had them for sale at target too), he said a lot of people have been coming back to return them because they’ve been having issues with this camera- so I definitely am returning and just going to buy a nicer, expensive digital camera.

Great camera. My daughter loves it and loves taking photos under water.

Looks cheap but make the work

Got this for my nephew to use on our cruise! Took great photos, waterproof, easy to use! Great for the price!

The camera doesn’t even turn on. It came with a completely discharged battery and a lot of scratches. I received the delivery after 8 days, even though I was promised it would be delivered within 5 days. I thought maybe it would work if I replaced the battery with a new one. Guess what? It didn’t. It turned on for 3 seconds and then shut off. I received a defective product. Even before the delivery, I had applied for a refund because you failed to deliver it on time. Then I changed my mind and decided to keep it. And what did I receive? A defective product. What was the point of all this? I honestly feel scammed.

Muy bien
