Polaroid Ion Digital Camera for the Technology Impaired
I bought the Polaroid Ion digital camera brand new in box for $4.95 on Ebay. Usually they sell for about $20, so I was lucky. There are very few features on this digital camera to worry about. You can point and shoot, then upload the pictures to your computer for all to see. It comes with the Ion digital camera driver, digital imaging and editing software, Microsoft Networking, Adobe Acrobat reader, and user guide all on one CD. When you install the software on your computer, it allows you to decide what to install. To get full use of the Polaroid Ion digital camera you must install the Polaroid Ion digital camera driver and photo imaging software. The other software is optional. It allows you to choose what you want by simply clicking a box of options during setup. Entire setup was easy, taking about 5 minutes. In addition, the camera came with everything I needed. It was packed with 2 AAA batteries and USB cord.
The Polaroid Ion digital camera is fun to own. It has very few features to worry about. It just has a shutter, lock, and mode buttons. To take a picture, you press the mode button to turn it on. Frame your picture and press the shutter button. It can't get easier than that. On mode screen you can choose high resolution, low resolution, continuous, clear memory and self-timer modes. It will also indicate how many images are remaining and if you have a low battery. The lock button is just to prevent unintended use of your camera. To take pictures it needs to be unlocked. Once you have taken picture with the Polaroid Ion digital camera, plug in USB cord and upload.
On the downside, the Polaroid Ion digital camera has 640 x 480 resolution. Obviously, it is not intended for professional photographers. It is just a simple to use and easy to understand camera. Great for people that just want to take pictures and upload them to the Internet without a lot of hassle.

You are more or less an idiot. The camera you are reviewing is NOT made by Polaroid. Rather, it is a Chinese camera that was probably put together for $2USD. It is typical for Chinese electronic companies to choose names like 'Durbacell', 'Energyzer' and, in this case, 'Ion' to fool idiots into thinking these are real products. I own one of these and I can not believe you said it is a good camera. This is an absolute Cracker Jack box garbage camera that has a lens with an aperture as small as a pin hole. It has SDRAM which looses the measly 8MB of pictures you take when u remove the batteries. Trust me, if anyone out there is even remotely considering buying this camera, it runs roughly the build quality of a watch from the Dollar Store.
