Polaroid SC1630 hands-on

For someone who wants an Android for some of the apps, but doesn't need another cell phone, this may be interesting? Thanks. (Oh wait I have four pocket cameras now, I think I need to wait before I spend the money.)  But I'd want one...

There's also this, but its Japan only at the moment...

The Polaroid seems more like an iPod touch competitor...

I suppose this might be the place for my newest camera... free with Amazon code credits from banking and some other offers. Including a 8GB SD card, cost me nothing.



Lucky for me, the best setting on it is "P" for professional, where I can actually choose the ISO.   

But it's the "pocket" camera, a viewfinder, uses AA batteries, takes 720P video, small and 12MP with a real lens. That's where the rest of the camera/Phones die. Smaller sensor and tiny little lens. The ones people have shown in the posts look interesting. By the way, the A1200 in Black is under $80 delivered so my phone is still, "just a phone" (although it does tell time?) And my cameras are just cameras.

Where the S90 failed was 1) A pop-up flash that was as aggravating as all heck and 2) No viewfinder. Loved it, nice pictures, good features. It's for sale $229 delivered, spare batter, 2000 clicks on FM forums.

Where the G12 failed was, just too darn big. I ripped my pocket carrying it in my Winter jacket. I love the G series. Nice remote now, amazing settings and features, really nice photos for a Bridge camera. 1 FPS burst rate. LOL But now black and 12MP, perfect for travel and touring.

Everyone needs a toy camera in their pocket at all times.

Long story, here's the shortest version ever. I can do the whole saga if anyone wants?) JamCam 640x480, that I carried in the glove box. Used 9V battery and when I came upon this accident, car upside down in the middle of the road. I called 911 and blocked the road so someone wouldn't hit it. I took two photos (crummy ones at that) and the battery went dead! I was finished. Since then I've tried to have a pocket camera that used standard AA batteries.

Yep, and what better way to have it but on one device such as a phone. The Iphone is proof there's demand. Once the manufacturers start making phones that have cameras that aren't a pain to use and have better technology there won't be a need for a pocket camera.

I just bought an S100 and yes, the auto-popup flash is already bugging me.  I wonder why camera manufacturers don't make a circular flash that goes around the lens. I would think this should solve a few different problems.
