i recieved this camera as a christmas present and was initially very pleased with it. however, once i started using it more i began having problems. the camera would click and then shut off without taking a picture. if i put brand new batteries in it, it will work, but after about 10 pictures it starts doing that shutting off thing again. i talked to polaroid and they basically told me that the batteries will not last long and that's the problem. i rarely use it now because the batteries won't last (even if i don't use the lcd monitor). also, it won't keep an accurate record of how many pictures i've taken. i don't think it's right when it tells me how charged the batter is either, because it says it still has half a life and then it shuts down due to batteries. all it all, shop around before you buy this one!
