It REALLY is a toy!!! NOT a camera!!! - iceman2058 - Israel
There is no other way to put this: as a camera, it is totally useless. It can only take a somewhat useable picture under the most perfect of circumstances, and even then, you are horrified when you zoom in on the pixels. Now, add any kind of unfavorable lighting to the equation, and you end up with TOTALLY UNUSABLE PICTURES. The whites bleed into big blurs, the depth of field is so shallow that all your pictures end up out of focus (and no - that does NOT add a charming bokeh effect at all - it just makes everything look horrible).
Do NOT buy this item if you are shopping for a camera. You’d be better off taking pictures with your camera phone, even if it is an old one!
If you are after this item for nostalgic reasons, and you have 0 to stick on a shelf, then by all means - it looks nice, and gets a lot of attention from people.
Is it for real ?? - Margaret Igne -
I should be more careful and look more when I purchased my little Leica toy…. its a toy … can be cute if you are 15 years old and go to a party with this camera, but its not real. It comes with a nice wood box.. but its not what I thought it was going to be. Again it was my fault I did not look in details before purchasing it. But its a toy…. at my age having a new toy can be fun !!!!!
Nice miniature toy camera - J.J. - South Korea
but not digital camera quality pictures but looking soooooooo good so happy with it 
This is a great camera, especially for the price. I got mine on black Friday for .99. It takes great pictures, it’s 10.3mp but shoots at 10.1mp. Pictures are crystal clear, it is extremely easy to use, very very slim compact design with a massive screen, video capture is great and records in 480p high definition. The zoom feature is amazing! The pictures are great quality even when zooming all the way in. I was on one side of my yard and my friend was about 20feet away and I used the zoom feature to capture a perfect face shot even from 20 feet away! I am highly impressed with this camera, if you’re debating I highly recommend it!
Bad construction quality and low light photo - Oceanlight - USA
It worked well for about three months but failed later. When we pressed the power on button, nothing happened anymore except the light blinked for a few seconds. We recharged it but didn’t work. We had the same problem again with the replacement. I had a Fuji digital camera for years and it still worked. I won’t ever buy camera from Kodak any more.
Not Good In Low Light Conditions - J. Wagner -
Like another reviewer, I purchased this from Target during Black Friday in 2008. The camera takes great pictures — as long as there is lighting. I cannot get the camera to take good photos in low light conditions. I have missed getting photographs of many occasions now due to them being in low light. You take a picture and basically you get a solid black picture. Very upsetting. Researching to get another one this year. Other then in low-light situations, I have been very pleased with this camera.
Highly Recommended - J. Younis - Tampa, Florida
I received the Kodak EasyShare MX1063 as a birthday gift from my son and I love it. It is easy to use, nice and small and the pictures come out great. My son purchased it for less than 0 on black Friday. Great value for the money.
i bought this camera 5 months ago and it’s all i need plus more ,astonishing photos. the camera has so many features to list (need some time to learn it all), even the video is good (not great) . i think it’s one of the best camera under 0 . i bought another for my brother. check out the video i took with this camera in a concert.

What a bettery PIG - G. Mathias -
First let me say that I love Samsung products. However, this camera is a battery PIG. I can only take up to 15 pictures before the camera starts beeping at me that the batteries are low. The video recording feature is very useful until you get 30 seconds into your video and the batteries are dead. I have tried 6 different kinds of batteries and the best have been the Duracell for electronic devices, which got me 23 pictures before being dead!! Great camera poorly executed. Come on Samsung, get it together.
Decent photos in daylight, but… - Amey Maffucci -
This camera takes excellent, high-resolution pictures outside. I found that it even worked quite well for action shots when there is plenty of sunlight. However, taking pictures indoors was another story. If there is any motion, indoor pictures come out blurry and grainy. I had tried taking pictures of hockey, in a very well-lit ice rink, and the pictures always come out brown and grainy. I have adjusted the settings as well as I could, but the amount you can change the aperture and speed of the exposure is very limited, even in the “Manual” mode. I even used a tripod, and the improvement was only marginal.
Now, after 1 year of working normally (and the warranty expiring), it has developed a severe problem. It shuts down unexpectedly, regardless of the charge in the batteries. It does with with new, alkaline batteries as well as fully charged NiMH batteries. It takes pictures for a minute or two, then just shuts down. It does not even retract the lens. It just goes black. Obviously, there is some kind of short or poor connection in it, but it does not appear to be related to the battery door (a common problem area on many digital cameras).
Thankfully, the credit card I used to purchase this extends the warranty, so I should be able to get my money back.
I use this camera for taking pictures and videos. I find this camera really perfect,especially the picture quality (crisps and clear). The videos are clear too! but make sure you should buy a higher memory card, so you could take a long video. I also noticed the battery lasts for 4-5 hours which is cool. Another feature I like(voice recorder) you can record your voice on the pictures sweet!! I love the touchscreen seems like It’s fun to touch. A lot of features that you would love about this camera. I would recommend it for everybody whose looking for a picture quality,longlasting battery,touchscreen kind of camera.
camera - Mary Jo Hertsenberg - spring, tx USA
Really like this camera—the touch screen makes more sense to me from an operational standpoint and it takes great pictures. The seller was immediately responsive and I received the camera before I expected it to arrive.
A must buy for the picture taker! For its low price, you get a high resolution and a user friendly camera. The only problems I have are the indoor shots, which require precise aim and control to reduce blur, and the automatic focus. I like to focus my pix by myself.
Polariod i832 - Travis - Kentucky, USA
I’ve had this camera a few years now, just ordered a new one here on Amazon and out of curiosity looked up my old one on here.
It has been a good camera, and still works. I’ll second the review about the battery cover. I had the camera replaced once for it, but the second one did the same thing. The pressure of the batteries in the compartment bows out and cracks the battery door, and the cracks keep expanding with use to make it fall apart. Now I have tape holding the door together, and tin foil to complete the circuit on the batteries.
Photo wise the images were good. I can’t go into technical detail, but it was satisfactory for normal use. I did attempt to photograph things like the moon with no luck, it’s automatic settings were unable to compensate for that it seemed, or I did not know what settings to use. Also it has no compensation for shaking or movement, a lot of photos are blurry. Taking photos indoors is annoying, with the flash on it is too bright and you have reflections, with it off there is no way you can hold it sill enough to get a clear image without a tripod.
I would not recommended this camera for the battery door only. You have to use it a lot to access the SD card. (My computer has a reader built in, and I use it, so I needed to open/ close the door frequently.) If Polaroid had not skimped on quality in this area it would last much longer, and be a good, small, point and shoot camera.
