Great 1st camera for teens

Great deal, but lacking quality
, December 29, 2006Reviewer: Joe E - See all Joe E's reviews3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this Polaroid a520m review helpfulPros: Cheap - less than $90 with retail coupon, large LCD panel on back, easy to use menu
Cons: No viewfinder, can't frame dark pics, all backgrounds are fuzzy, 3 secs to display pic on LCD
Where do I start on the reasons I didn't like the camera:
- Pictures were underexposed without flash
- Pictures were overexposed with flash, some were really overexposed as in washed out completely white faces
- Even in a moderately lit room, it is difficult to frame the picture in the LCD because it shows up so dark
- No viewfinder means this is not an alternative, even though you know the flash will brighten up the picture you can't frame in the LCD
- Any background object will be out of focus unless it is directly behind the subject
- Subject is sometimes out of focus when the camera is still, always fuzzy when there is any significant movement
- The LCD panel
- Out of 100 pictures, nearly all had some flaws due to the above problems and most were not worth printing
The things I liked about the camera:
- It's inexpensive
- It's off-pink which is the perfect color for my daughter
- Large LCD panel for picture taking (although the 3 second delay in displaying the picture is annoying)
- Easy to use camera, although buttons may be a little confusing at first
- Small size and slim from front to back easily fits into a pocket
- Lens does not extend, but that also means that the only magnification will be digital (cropping of the picture)
- High resolution would be great if background was not so fuzzy ...

Pros: easy to use, appealing colored camera body, great price
Cons: limited features
This camera was selected for our teenage daughter who really wanted a camera that would stand out in appearance from the sea of silver and black. The a520 is just the ticket and it's not only very pretty to look at, it also is easy to use and takes nice pictures. The features match, or slightly exceed, expectations for a camera in this price point. If you want an affordable camera with a stylish camera body that appeals to the younger photographers out there, the a520 fits the bill. It can definitely get the job done. ...
