General Comments

This Polaroid PDC3030 digital camera although very cheap is very nasty. How it can have 3 million pixels beats me as the pictures are terrible. The lens is the size of a mouse's eye so cannot capture images clearly. The camera takes a long time from switch-on to be ready to take pictures. It also takes about 4 or 5 seconds to take a picture, as you need to wait until the beeping stops while keeping the camera steady. Certainly not a camera for action shots. I bought one to take on holiday and lost it after 4 days. I was quite pleased I lost it as I then bought the fantastic Casio Exilim EX-Z40.

    I'm not going to get overly defensive as everyone is entitled to their opinion. Everyone who saw the pictures I took was very impressed, but then neither I nor they were expecting that much. If you hadn't noticed, digital cameras tend to have very small lenses. The camera does take a few seconds to turn on, but I have never found this a problem. As for taking 5 seconds to take a picture, sorry but that's wrong, it takes exactly 2 (I counted), and even £2k digi cameras have a fraction of a second delay between pressing the button and taking the picture. Finally, it's hardly fair to compare an £80 with one that costs over £200. If you wanted to replace film then you should have bought the Casio to start with; I bought this as an addition to my regular camera. I would love a full on digi cam but don't need it right now.
