Polaroid digital cameras are aimed at people who want a good, basic, starter digital camera at a competitive price. That suited me fine when I bought this camera about 18 months ago. I wasn't looking for anything elaborate, just a basic digital camera for some web use and maybe a few holiday snaps. So after looking around for an inexpensive camera, I ended up with the Polaroid PDC 1100 for around £120, which was a pretty good price. Good price? Yes. Good camera? Well......
The Polaroid Photomax PDC 1100 digital camera has quite a lot of features and is lower priced than most other comparable cameras. The problem is that low cost should not mean that the camera is unreliable. There are lots of features and functions on this camera but just try getting them to work properly....good luck!
It's pretty annoying when any device fails to function properly, but a when a camera fails at the wrong time and you miss those special moments, it is particularly galling. It wasn't long before I got rid of this camera. Overall, I would only recommend the PDC 1100 to someone who is looking for a cheap camera with a lot of features, and who doesn’t mind a little (LOT OF) frustration trying to use them. Otherwise, spend a little more money and get a better, more reliable camera.
A good op :) Sounds quite good but I don't think I'm going to have much need for a digital camera.I've been wanting to get one but we probably wouldn't use it much.

a good op , lacking just one thing - a recomendation to use recharable batteries , which seem to last longer per charge than std. batteries , and can be re-used . With my camera , I made the mistake of using normal batteries at first .
