 Good to Grab and Go December 28, 2008
My eight-year-old son had been agitating for his own digital camera for nearly a year. This fall, he made sure *everyone* - grandparents, great-grandmother, basically everyone who usually gives him a present at Christmas - knew he wanted a camera. My in-laws charged me with the task of finding an appropriate camera for them to give.
After checking stores (even those going out of business...) and comparing specs and reviews online, I selected the Polaroid i531. My criteria, for what it's worth, were (1) easy to operate (remember, he's eight); (2) good preview/review screen (if he has to wait to see the pictures, he won't use it); (3) enough resolution to yield good 4x6 prints; (4) common battery type (no plug-it-into-the-wall-and-wait-for-it-to-recharge); and (5) under $100.
With respect to those criteria, the camera is quite easy to operate - the default mode ("Q" mode) makes it a true point-and-shoot camera - with numerous modes, options, and controls for the experienced (or adventurous) photographer. The preview/review screen is a good size, well lit, and good color.
The default resolution is 5MP, but I have him using it at 3MP, in part to cut down on the picture size in storage. Finally, the camera uses two AA batteries. When he first got the camera, he seemed to go through a lot of batteries, but I think that may be because he was taking a *lot* of pictures in a dimly lit room, then reviewing those pictures with everyone there.
In summary, the Polaroid i531 seems to be appropriate for anyone needing a good, quick, everyday camera, whether they be an eight-year-old beginning shutterbug or an experienced photographer.
 Great for beginners, but should know that it doesn't hold many pics without a memory card and you "shouldn't" use a 2 or higher April 8, 2008
I bought for my 55 year old mother-in-law for Christmas. I thought it was a good size and easy to use. The only thing is that without a memory card, it doesn't hold but three or four photos. You have to buy a memory card and it needs to be a 2 or below.... still not alot! Will need to download often.
