Polaroid i-Zone 300 3.2 Megapixel

I got this camera b/c I wanted something small, cool, looking, and relatively inexpensive. This delivers it all. It really melds well with todays smaller = better lifestyle and looks just plain cool. As for picture quality, when you're in good lighting it takes outstanding pictures, and the video quality is very good too. The two biggest problems I guess are that if you want to take picture in a dark environment, you need to almost guess what you're pointing at because the camera doesn't capture ambient light very well. The second, which in some cases is a plus, is that the camera has a very strong flash. Good for medium range shots, but for self shots at arm length in your room for instance, sometimes the flash whites everything out. I remedied this easily by just covering up half the flash with one of my fingers, and it worked great.

Overall, a great buy for a first camera. Easily transfer pictures to a computer with the included USB cable, no batteries needed because it comes with the charging dock, and it even has internal memory for those emergency pictures when your SD card is full. If you're looking for a real performance camera though, to use for more than recreational photos, shell out some more cash and look for something else.
