The Target site has 2 awful reviews of this camera. Couldn't find any other reviews.

http://www.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=1877709 woot sold this so there is some discussion on it. I saw it last night, the $65 was a turn off, but a $40 rebate makes it a good deal for a "I don't care what happens to it" type camera.

This is a cheap junk camera, let's not have any expectations from it.

Since Polaroid declared bankrupcy, they've been owned by Chase bank, who are licensing the brand to anyone willing to pay the fees. All their cameras are cheap junk.

has anyone actually used this camera before trashing it? the price is right for a non-perfectionist! thanks for posting (now to figure out the walgreens easy rebate system, can do online in some states now plus you can add 10% bonus if you request giftcard rather than rebate ck...this rebate ends aug. 30)

Maybe it's good enough to leave in the car in case you need pics of damage from a collision.

Green for you OP. Not all reviews trash it ... and it will make a wonderful stocking stuffer for one of the grandkids at Christmas.

Is it a store rebate, or somewhere else?

I got one and the rebate can be done online w/o having to cut UPCs and mailing forms out. Great deal for the price.

These people have tried this camera: Review link (Target)

Some excerpts from those reviews:
"it is horrible"
"Absolutely the worst pictures ever."
"i'd only recomend for a first time camera buyer. or a ten year old."

Good try OP, it was worth looking into at this price, but the reviews make this sound like a $25 money toilet.

I just bought one - I've been looking for a cheapie, and since I shop at Walgreens, that extra 10% that will come back in just a few days (when you refill an existing card) makes this a really good deal.

I've just taken an assortment of photos. Not stellar, not bad. This is a far, far more complex camera than you/I'd EVER expect. It's loaded with features and options including a lot of manual adjustments at the tap of a button on the back right where a lot of people would place their thumb. It's easy to bump a button and find yourself adjusting the aperture or shutter speed and so on.

Overall the main shortcomings are digital noise in low light conditions where the flash (while surprisingly strong) can't compensate. Also less than perfect focus from time to time - often due to a wrong setting or nearly impossible situation for a low-end camera. I'm looking at my photos on a 22" monitor, and I know if I printed them on 4x6 stock, most would be acceptable. You just have to learn to get the best out of this camera and work around it's limitations.

Alright I just got back with mine and I must say For $25 its well worth the price. If I paid $129 or $99 like those guys on the Target site I would write a bad review too.

This one is great to toss in the glove box in the car.
