Review on Polaroid IS048: 16 MP Waterproof Handheld Action Camera for Instant Sharing by Katie Lee

Revainrating 1 out of 5

If you are thinking about buying this camera. BREAK. DON'T SPEND MONEY

I read the reviews, was skeptical and got this camera anyway as I wanted something for my 10 year old who was interested in photography. Since the interest is likely to be fleeting, I didn't want to spend a lot. Polaroid has been a big part of my life since the 70's but this camera changed everything. Impossible to get a decent picture. I kept trying different settings; My tech savvy husband spent almost 2 hours trying to get just a decent picture - to no avail. The manual is NOT a manual for this camera and the online manual does not mention anywhere that it is almost impossible to get this camera to focus. I went ahead and bought a cheap generic camera on ebay and it does its job ten times better. So in general, listen to most reviews and don't spend your money!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
