Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:

Good 8x10 photos... Great Macro.... Great ISO performance... Great Flash Range... Great Portrait camera.... Good Battery life... Exposure Compensation too... Easy access for review and settings. Also has a alpha LCD to veiw settings at a glance. See www.pcphotoreview.com http://www.pcphotoreview.com/1+to+2+Megapixel/Polaroid+PhotoMAX+PDC+1300/PRD_83135_3072crx.aspx This camera is a point/shoot with some control over exposure. Everything else is automatic. Check Polaroid for specs. Things that make this camera unusual/nice is the auto-focus macro mode down to 4 to 18 inches, and the pictures are sharp and clear. The flash even works well in macro mode, without white blow-out. Normal focus > 18" is very good. Under just about any condition, one can expect a good picture. Ratings below reflect similar mp, not with higher mp cameras (apples-to-apples). Strengths: As above: 4" auto-focus macro (doubled with 2x digital zoom), dependable performance. Excellent nmhi battery performance. Simple/easy to use. Packaged with everything you''''ll need: all cables, AC/DC power supply, etc. Weaknesses: No video output. Obvious limitations of 1.3 mp

Strengths:

Extra LCD to see settings, Awesome flash control for portrait and macro and distant shots (Flash Range=>15'''', Easy control of reveiwing pics. Low light/ISO capability for steady hands. Gread color results. Feels good in hand.

Weaknesses:

Typical Digital Camera Shutter Delay time, improves outside in bright light.
