...I know Digital cameras have moved on quite a bit and to say I have had a few might be an understatement but as well as telling you about the good, I also feel I should tell you about the bad.
So Im going to turn the clocks back to 4 years ago to mention the cheap and not so cheerful offering from Polaroid. The PDC 4350.
REASONS I PURCHASED
I bought the camera (or rather my mum did) because I needed a camera that could do the following:
Store images on SD cards to fit in the card reader in my laptop at the time.
Have at least 4 Megapixels (as anything less looked very grainy)
An optical zoom lense.
A colour preview screen.
So after scouring the various high street shops and other outlets, I found Argos offering this camera at nearly half price. £169.99 to £89.99
With this bargain in mind and seeing that it met my minimum...

This camera was my very first digital camera, and I was more than impressed with it……..at first. I received this camera as a present from my then partner for my Christmas all the way back in 2003. I know that he paid around £100 for it, and this was a reasonable price back then. He bought mine from the now extinct Index catalogue store, but on doing some research I've found it difficult to see any brand new cameras for sale in UK, There are however still a few for sale on Amazon and Ebay, but bear in mind these will be second hand usually. The cheapest I've seen is on Amazon second hand for £25.Which is not bad if it is in good condition...

Advantages: cheap, small, good photos for web Disadvantages: battery life, hard to use,
...The biggest thing I do not like about this camera is, battery's.
As they are four aaa & do not seem to last too long, even if not takken photo's, they do not last too long.
Then it turn off quite a lot, more so when battery's are low, which is one of the reason, when I got my next camera, I did not get one with disposable battery's.
Photo's, are quite good, just a pain to use & I find it very hard to use.
The camera can be used with a Windows computer, as a web cam, with power via USB cable, this is one time, it will not turn off by itself.
IMHO, it better to spend more money for something better & ignore this camera, look for a camera with a rechargeable battery pack.
As much better cameras are much cheaper now, I can not see any reason to get this, unless you like something with the Polaroid name....
