Polaroid Splash Waterproof Camera

We were going on a Caribbean cruise and I wanted to try an underwater camera. I didn’t want those disposable film ones because they only take 27 pictures and you don’t know how they came out until you develop them. I saw this and thought I’d try it.It does kinda look like a toy, but honestly I’m pretty pleased with the photos. We had waves wherever we went, so I was bobbing up and down so they’re not pristine. Also they look better once uploaded on your computer with some simple editing.Others mentioned the door not latching properly but I think that’s user error. You DO need to be sure of closing the door to the SD card/charging port and I wish it was designed a bit sturdier, because make SURE latch it closed.The camera floats; it’s very easy to use; very portable; and it takes very decent pictures. I love it

I purchased this camera for a vacation in Cozumel. At that time it told me the SS card was bad. So last week I took it to Nassau for a vacation. This time I took some pictures not in the water & they showed up. Then took some while snorkeling & now all pictures are gone.

Updated- simple, easy to use just be extra, extra careful to make sure charging port door is fully closed. I used a couple of times for test runs, went on vacation charged night before and somehow didn't pay attention and door wasn't fully shut which I didn't notice until on ocean and totally too late by then, it was ruined.BUT, also I did want to add that not only can the memory card not be higher than 64GB, it cannot be an SDXC. It has to be the older generation SDHC micro memory card. I learned this after first mistakenly ordering a 256GB micro SD card, then realizing it said only up to 64GB. The I ordered a 64 GB micro SD card, but it still didn't work. After lots of googling I found info that sounded like the problem was i needed an SDHC card, but no where did anything say it couldn't be an SDXC. However after then ordering a 64GB SDHC micro memory card, the camera finally worked! (Error message kept saying memory full for the cards that wouldn't work with camera)

This is a value buy FOR SURE. at over $100 less than a gopro style device this You would not be happy to social meida post any photos received fro this underwater BUT on our family vacation my kids used this non stop and LOVED looking back at their underwater video "creations" at the end of each day. The microphone worked for about 2 days before it stopped . still for the price, grab it up!

I bought this for a trip to Japan where I knew I would want to be taking a ton of video. This camera is perfect for B-roll video that you might edit later into a YT video. I also use it for recording martial arts classes where I keep it running for an hour straight, or as a backup camera for interviewing someone.If I’m taking short videos, I use my iPhone, but this has been decent for keeping it running. Video is good, but audio is not stellar. It’s good enough for an interview, but not for recording music events.The back of the screen is plastic and got scratched up quickly. I recommend putting a screen protector on the back. For the money, it is good, but if you are needing top shelf quality, you need to spend more money.

I bought two of these cameras for my daughters to take to overnight camp since they couldn't bring iPhones to use as a camera. It is too late for me to return them since they were both gone for a month. These are not inexpensive cameras, but I still didn't have the highest expectation, but they didn't even come close to that low bar. Both girls took still and video. All the video is unwatchable and it is not from their skills at taking video. I have been watching their videos since they started using an old iPhone 3GS and they know how to hold the camera reasonable still. This video jumped all over and frames are just plain missed leading to choppy playback. The picture is grainy as well. I confirmed and the video says it is recording 1920 x 1080 @ 30fps and it saves as an AVI. Almost every picture is blurry. They were shot at 4896x3672 and it says most of them were f2.8. The problem there is likely the 1/15 or 1/25 exposure time they cameras were choosing. They never went in the water so I can't say how they did with waterproofing, but it doesn't matter. These things are total crap. I can see why polaroid has collapsed over the years. Don't waste your money on this product, even for your kids. For just a few dollars more you can get a much better actual camera or find an old iPhone which will run circles around this thing.

I wanted a tiny camera I could film with in addition to my nicer camera, and while the quality isn't the best, I do enjoy using it more so for fun, rather than for "serious" filming. Overall, I'd say it's a good option for kids or for documenting in a more filmic style.

I got this camera because I wanted to get my girls a simple digital camera, as I have NOT given them a phone. I was so happy for the camera because it was cute, small, very portable and seemed easy to use, plus it's a polaroid. Well, the software is a massive disappointment.... You can't just download it you have to use a Polaroid software that you download, and set up, and create a profile and ultimately download..... But then the pictures are ONLY on the software, you can't just download the pictures to your phone or a simple file. It's horrible and NOT user friendly at all and I hated it.
