About the Polaroid i735

The Polaroid i735 is an affordable and stylish 7 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera. Especially great for beginner photographers, the Polaroid i735 takes incredible, crystal-clear shots. This camera is perfect for kids or pre-teens looking to get used to using digital camera and the variety of features they have to offer. Although not recommended for photographers looking to upgrade to a better camera, the i735 is easy to use, lightweight, functional, and the price is great!

There are many nice features on this camera. Despite being only 7 megapixels, the images usually come out sharp and detailed. You can create high quality prints up to 14 x 19-inches. Even though it takes great pictures, if you're looking for a camera that will last you a while, you might want to skip over this one or give it to your kids. Since the camera can only hold about five pictures, you will need to buy a memory card for it, and a lot of batteries since it goes through them like crazy.
