Polaroid Studio 4 Camcorder

by tica03 May 19, 2006 7:23AM PDT

Has anybody ever had any experience with the Polaroid Studio 4? I have seen them available on ebay, and would like to get something cheap and functional. I'm not going to be making independant films or anything, but would hope it looks better than the old fashioned VHS recorders. If these things are crap does anyone know of any cheapo under $100 camcorders that are worth anything?

Polaroid Studio 4 Camcorder

To call that a camcorder is misleading at best.

It is a very inexpensive digital camera, made to look like a camcorder.

To be perfectly honest, I would classify it as a toy.

If you buy one, do not buy it on ebay.
You need to buy it at a store, where you can return it and get your money back after you try it out.

You cannot buy a camcorder for under $100.

Kodak C300.
It has a video mode, that is not as good as a camcorder.
