Polaroid - A310 Digital Camera Digital Camera Review

You WILL NOT win a photography contest with this camera.  Simply, it serves as a good little workhorse for your online auction pictures.  It's easy enough to use, but not easy to get used to.  The buttons are a bit small, and the LCD seems quite dark.  I haven't noticed much of a difference with lighting when using a flash as opposed to no flash.  It may require additional lighting or backdrops to get a good picture.

 I did, however, like the price.  This camera has been around a while, and you can get it from distributors at a heavy discount these days.  That's precisely why I went shopping and chose it.  I am biased a bit, as cost is probably the single most important factor when you're on a strict budget, in my book.  So therefore, this camera stuck out like a sore thumb... About $30-40, and had at least 3.0 megapixel (3.2 on this model), so I can take pictures that are finally good enough for doing online auctions.

I was impressed, once I knew what I was doing, in that the software seemed to seamlessly integrate with Windows XP.  When you plug in the camera, it appears as a removable volume (Drive J: on my system, If memory serves me correctly), and it's pretty easy to copy and delete the images right from the camera.

So, you can't beat the price if you want something "quick n' dirty" to do some auctions, and at least get a picture with at least enough resolution to provide some detail for the viewer.

It also supports SD Cards up to 1 MB.
