Polaroid i1237 12MP CCD Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD Display (Red)

This is the first time that I have used a digital camera. It has many features which I think will be helpful, if I could remember/understand them all. It has an Image Stabilizing Button which I have on constantly. A Red-Eye Correction function. Ability to take still images from moving action,ie running etc. Can also record Videos and Voices. Never tried this, a bit to complicated for me. Downside that I found was that in bright sunlight it is difficult to see the image on the LCD screen. I had to buy a Screen Shield which sticks onto the camera. Have not used it yet but hope it will help the problem. Included with the camera is a cd disk which is inserted into your computer and includes the User Manual. I found it easier to print this off and read at leisure.

Bought this for my 10 yr old budding photographer. Originally we had been looking at getting one of the children's cameras from V-Tech or Crayola, but despite being higher in price, the children's cameras were all around the 2 mega pixel mark, and reviewers said that the snaps they produced were of a very poor quality.

This camera was a far better option, it has anti-shake, face-tracking, video & audio capture, red-eye removal, self-timer and 16 scene selections. So you get all the features of a much higher priced camera, for under forty pounds. Not a bad price at all for a 12MP camera, with 5X Digital zoom & 3X optical zoom. It only stores about 5 images on the internal memory, so an SD memory card is an essential additional purchase. It works on 2X AA batteries, and seems to have a reasonable battery life.

It will focus automatically if you touch the shutter lightly, and it has a very bright flash which means that it produces good pictures even in low light conditions. It has a good sized L.C.D screen, the control toggles are easy to operate (no paper manual, it's on the software C.D), and my daughter loves the sleek red case !

I have 2 cameras of my own which cost more than double the price of this camera, but this little Polaroid would certainly beat them in terms of value for money. A great little point and shoot!

We had to buy a second camera as we use it for family snaps and videos. Having 2 means we don't miss a single shot or memory. The features are great, video length is better than most cameras twice the price. The crop feature is really useful. Alround good camera for casual use.

i challenge you to find a better camera at this price. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

The is camera arrived much faster than forcast and although the outer packaging was fine the camera itself was in that anoying hard plastic bubble that you can never open properly and can cut yourself on. Once inside the pack I liked the feel and appearance of the camera and got stuck into taking photographs, the results were very good, after a few days heavy rain I was able to take the camera outside, disater, all the photographs were over exposed and despite trying different setting nothing would improve the result. I went to the Polaroid website and using their contact us email for tech help explained my problem and pressed send, one hour later and I received the message unable to deliver "incorrect address" ?
I returned the camera and for a couple of pounds more bought a brilliant Hitachi camera. The moral of this review Polaroid are fine just as long as you dont take photos outside or try to use their contact us service.

I bought this for my young son who loves taking pictures and was always wanting to use my camera. I looked at the prices of the kiddies cameras and they seemed very chunky with few functions and low spec for the money. So I went for this little camera and its great. The outside doors pictures tend to be a bit better but overall the quality is good. There are all sorts of functions that allow him to crop pics and see them in black and white, sepia, reverse polarisation etc. Has a little memory card and can be easily downloaded onto the computer. Light weight and compact but with a Large viewing screen, anti shake function, face tracking and good zoom. Much more bang for your buck than you would get on a clunky, kids camera. Two downsides are its battery op and not rechargeable and does not come with a case. I am very pleased with this purchase!

Lovely little camera until it decided to stop working and nothing seems to revive it. Have tried new batteries but it no longer works. THis was a gift so not only am I disappointed but so is the recipient. Real waste of money, and has put me off Polaroid for good!

We bought this camera, like many other reviewers, for a childs birthday (our daughter who is 9). The power button was faulty from day one and it only switched on intermittently. It worked more often than not and my daughter seemed more than happy to tot around and take dozens of shots with it, so we just left it, and like all things it quickly loses its initial appeal and it gets stored in the cupboard until other events.

She began complaining that it wouldn't turn on at all, and then it would turn on randomly after several attempts, then it finally gave up responding when she wanted it most (during a family holiday this summer).

So all in all, its been a disappointing purchase. It was cheap, but then you're not going to spend £100s of pounds on a camera for a child are you, but at £39.99 (I see its gone up since though!) you still expect it to be fit for purpose. After all, why sell a camera that can't turn on?

Other than the power button not working, it seems a fairly robust piece of equipment, quite heavy, the photos are ok quality, a lot turn out blurred but its not a leica!

I would not recommend this camera, if the power button was reliable, then its a perfectly acceptable camera for a child, its pretty child proof and she enjoyed using it when it worked. I see other reviewers have experienced the same problem, so its clearly a manufacturing fault with the electronic components, poor quality testing obviously... which would make me think twice about buying any polaroid products in the future, as this product was clearly faulty and should not have been sold to the public.
