1 out of 5 stars Horrible Quality.......2007-08-30

This was my first digital camera and I though I was getting a good deal because it was by Polaroid. Well, I was wrong and if this is the quality I get from a Polaroid digital camera, they need to stick to - well - Polaroids. Not only was the picture quality horrible, but the images took up so much memory I had to constantly upload the images to my computer before I left to go do something.

The battery life is terrible and to be honest, the charging dock is pointless when you can just plug it directly into your computer via cable.

It takes horrible pictures in the dark and the flash produces nothing but a blank, white image.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's you get what you pay for and a quality camera is going to cost some extra. I've since bought a Kodak digital camera for about $200 and it is wonderful! Don't waste your money on this sorry excuse for a digital camera, instead, save for a better one. Not even worth giving to a 6-year-old as a gift.

EDIT: I just now looked at the price on this thing. $100?! Are you kidding me!? I bought this camera at Wal-Mart something like 3 years ago and it was only $25! Even at that price it is a huge waste of money! I could have fed starving children in Africa! If you just want to get rid of $100, donate it to a charitable foundation, not to Polaroid!

1 out of 5 stars Not worth the money.......2007-06-17

I got this free when I bought a laptop late last year, and even then, it's barely a value at that price.

As other reviewers have said, the picture quality (yes, at the highest quality settings) is barely better than the <1 MP camera in my cheap-o cellphone. Whether using the flash or taking in a well-lit environment, you'll still need a rock-steady arm to avoid getting a big blurry mess.

I had hoped this little free camera, cute as it was, would at least help me get by after my old Fuji 3MP camera was stolen. I didn't expect it to match the Fuji's quality, but this extreme difference is inexcusable. Instead, I've gone back to using my 35mm film camera and scanner.

If you actually decide to pay money for this camera, well, I feel very sorry for you. Please spend a few bucks more and find a REAL camera...

1 out of 5 stars Do Not buy this Camera.......2007-06-08

This is among the WORST customer service I have ever received in my history in the industry. The item was damaged. The company took calls on a what seemed to be a cell phone. It took a week to get an answer, they did not offer to make what was wrong right. They sent an invoice slip with no # on it or a return address. The associate was rude. You have been warned.

1 out of 5 stars THIS IS ACTUALLY A DISPOSABLE CAMERA IN DISGUISE.......2007-05-11

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! IT IS ESSENTIALY A VERY EXPENSIVE DISPOSABLE CAMERA!!! I WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT ZERO OR NEGATIVE STARS BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION!

I bought this camera about a year ago for my daughter because it is relatively inexpensive and Polaroid has been around a long time. The picture quality was pretty lousy, but that really didn't matter since it was for a child...BUT, right from the start the battery did not charge...we assumed we were doing something wrong, and recently the camera was completely dead...we tried to find out how to change the battery and ended up contacting the company...this is the reply we received:

Thank you for your recent email about your needs for service.
There are no replacement parts available for the iZone 300 Digital Camera, including batteries.
If you need to order a replacement part for your Polaroid product, please call us at 877-388-3779 during office hours.
When you call us, please give the service agent your EMAIL ADDRESS so they can find you in our database for prompt processing of your request.
Regards,
Polaroid Technical Support


Not only is it crazy not to be able to replace the battery in a non-disposable type camera, but then they tell me to call to order replacement parts that they just told me don't exist...

You're better off spending a little more and dealing with someone that supports their product, like Fuji or Canon...please beware!!!!

1 out of 5 stars a complete disappointment.......2007-05-01

For years I have had my old Samsung Digimax 300 of 3.2 mp, And let me tell you that is a pretty good camera, I'm using even now, and the quality of the pictures it is great, so, when my brother gave me some weeks ago the Polaroid Izone 300 I was very exciting about my new camera, cos I thougth this one it could be the choosen one to replace my old camera.

But the whole thing it was a complete dissappointment, I mean, I can not compare the quality of the pictures of my old Samsung Digimax (it is almost 4 years with me!!!) with this new one Polaroid iZone.

So if you are looking for a new, cheap and good Digital Camera, I suggest to buy a Samsung Digimax, maybe of 5 mp, you can find it here, in amazon for less than US$ 100 I think... actually I am very exciting cos I am waiting for my new Sony Cybershot DH 2, a more powerfull camera than my old Digimax, so I think that camera will be a decent replacement of my old camera, but avoid to buy this one, trust me!!!

A variety of DE100 model numbers are available which support Ultra ATA/100 (including ATA/133) and versions that support SCSI Wide Ultra160 applications. Some DE100 carrier models support 80-pin single-connect (SCA) SCSI drive types. Options are available for an enhanced, bus-isolating "hot swap" capability (SCSI models) and/or a solenoid drive lock.

                Sonic Impact Technologies has developed a mini full range subwoofer utilizing a patented technology called MaxxBass that is critical in enabling a new category of smaller, but deep sounding subwoofers called MiniWoofers. MaxxBass dramatically improves perceived bass response in audio systems by up to one and one half octaves. The MaxxBass technology has been used for years in recording much of the world's most popular music, but Sonic Impact now offers a low cost adaptation using a MaxxBass mixed signal ASIC, which enables the design to be non-ported and a minimal form factor.

                Put the pedal to the metal with the new veloCD. Just a few years ago, it took half an hour to burn a single CD-R. Now TDK has slashed that time down to 2 1/2 minutes! And with veloCD, every CD comes out perfect - no failed sessions. veloCD now features Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) burning technology. As a result, the unit records disks faster than other drives, especially when burning less than a full disk. Plus, thanks to veloCD's buffer underrun protection, you can surf the Web, send email or do virtually anything while your CD burns.

                1 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy this burner!.......2003-10-31

                I ended up w/ this burner as a warranty replacement for my first VeloCD, which went toes up after about a month. Less than a year later, I have a completely useless burner that stalls at 6% and then freezes my entire system. After NUMEROUS emails and phone calls to TDK, I finally got "authorization" to send it in for replacement. I am so fed up, I am going to buy a Lite-On and wash my hands of it.
                Look elsewhere....this burner is not work the carboard box it is packaged in.

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent product performance.......2003-10-21

                I won't spend any time on hardware installation - they're all the same when you get right down to it - but I would like to pass along my comments on the drive's performance and the software's ease of use.

                I value quiet operation and fast read/write performance and this drive delivers on both. It is much more quiet than the OEM drives that came with both of my Dell desktops and the kids' HP Pavillion. There's no chatter or intrusive mechanical noise at all.

                As for speed, this drive tears right through data CDs, music CDs, you name it. It noticeably outperforms a Dell OEM drive with the same nominal speed ratings.

                The bundled software is pretty good, too. Nero Express seems easy enough and the TDK Digital Blender software offers a great deal of user flexibility.

                This is an excellent hardware/software package. Can't beat it.

                5 out of 5 stars made a novice happy.......2003-02-26

                I was considering an external CD-RW because I've never had the guts to open up my PC, but when I saw the good reviews of this model, along with a very nice rebate, I figured I'd give it a shot. The installation instructions were extremely helpful, both the "video" and the quick-start poster. It took me about an hour because I was being extremely careful at every step.

                So far, it has worked very well. Thanks, TDK!

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent drive.......2003-01-06

                ... This drive SUPPORTS Mt. Rainier (UDF 1.02), Mt. Rainier is the next generation UDF packet writing technology and it is better than UDF 1.50 which most of us are using right now (if you use packet writing at all). Mt. Rainier UDF technology handles error correction at the firmware level by the drive instead of by the burning software such as InCD, DirectCD, DLA, InstantWrite. The initial format is only 2 mins instead of 45 mins in UDF 1.50.

                This drive is very quiet and this is a very rare for drives that run faster than 32x.

                  4 out of 5 stars A solid performer if configured right..........2006-05-31

                  I have run the 5610B on both Mandrake 10.1 and Win XP builds with no issues - as long as the modem is configured to operate using COM5. I found a discussion group thread on the web that indicated such; gave COM5 a try and haven't looked back.

                  It works great with WinFax Pro, too. However, this modem maxs out fax transmissions @ 14.4k. A bit pricey, but reliable.

                  1 out of 5 stars US Robotics 5610B is a HOAX!! DON'T BUY THIS!!!.......2006-01-04

                  I bought the USR5610B performance pro modem january 2006 and it was very disappointing. First of all it is overated, my Rockwell HCF 56K modem connects faster than this USR. The whole line probing technology could be a hoax, nobody knows if it actually does what it claims. Not to mention the game mode, if the game mode is so much superior for games then why can't it be used for normal downloads? Nobody seems to know exactly what game mode is, I think that could be another hoax. Also my cd did not have the game mode software so I had to try it using AT commands. I have an old ISA 56K Lucent modem that beats this USR. This product is overpriced and the software that comes with it is hardly functional, when you set things with the control center it stores if it feels like it. When you reopen the control center you might find settings enabled that you did not set. What's the point in all those settings anyway; if you change any of them, most likely you won't be able to connect. Only buy this if you need it for Linux, any P4 could pick up the slack for a winmodem so if you got a winmodem and you are thinking about buying USR5610B then save your money. You could get dsl for cheaper than this modem.

                  3 out of 5 stars It works, but it's soooooo slow.......2005-07-14

                  It works, but it's kinda slow. It operations around 40k only, when it should be 56k. People who are ghetto should get this cuz it's really cheap, and dial-up intenet is cheap now. Cable internet is too expensive. If you're just browsing, or are ghetto, or don't have cable or DSL service, this will do. If not, get cable internet. It's so much better.

                  LAST WORD: Ghetto people should get this.

                  5 out of 5 stars Works perfectly across my WinXP, Win98, and Linux OS's.......2005-02-11

                  I bought this modem because I needed a modem that would work with my Mandrake Linux installation. I wanted the modem to work with my Windows XP & 98 installations as well. I've been using the modem across all three platforms for several weeks now and it works perfectly. Also, the install was simple for all three operating systems. I highly recommend the modem whether for single or multiple OS's.

                  5 out of 5 stars Best Modem Available.......2005-01-20

                  Undoubtedly, this is the best modem available. I've used this modem for over a year now, and couldn't be more pleased. Disconnects are rarely ever experienced, and if it does occur, it is probably the ISP's fault. For those having disconnect problems, try lowering your connect speed. My USR wanted to connect at 53kbps, which caused disconnects. I lowered the connect rate to 48kbps which eliminated the problem and gave me a faster connection than the 53kbps (due to the line errors). To do this, you have to place a command in the modem initialization string which is on the Advanced Tab in the modem setup properties (Windows XP, look in control panel for modem options). For this modem, the commands for connecting at a specific rate are

                  44kbps: AT&N29
                  45.3kbps: AT&N30
                  46.7kbps: AT&N31
                  48kbps: AT&N32
                  49.3kbps: AT&N33
                  50.7kbps: AT&N34
                  Other speeds: See the manual on the setup disk or USR's website.

                  Depending on the quality of your telephone line, you may need to connect at something lower than 48kpbs. If you have a bad line coming to your house, no available consumer modem is going to make it better. It may say it connects at 56kpbs+, but line errors degrade this speed tremendously. More is not always better.

                  5 out of 5 stars Great DVD recording media.......2007-03-11

                  I've never tried verbatim media, since there were 5inch computer floppy disc (circa 1983-85). I pleased to find that verbatim still makes a quality product.

                  5 out of 5 stars _Only_ buy Verbatim..........2007-01-27

                  For DVD+/-RW, Verbatim is the best. Other manufacturers (even the better-known, higher-priced ones) cannot compete in terms of compatibility. `Don't believe me? Check out reviews on [...] or the doom9 forums (use Google Advanced Search, people)... :o)

                  5 out of 5 stars Best I've tried yet.......2006-06-07

                  I've seen others coaster from day 1 and I've seen others coaster after day 60 (after an actual succesfull write!) but these are absolutely awesome. Highly reliable ... long-term.

                  5 out of 5 stars High quality DVD+RWs.......2004-12-16

                  These spindles are media code "MKM-A02" manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Verbatim's parent company) in Taiwan.

                  Discs work flawlessly, though I stupidly didn't realize my burner won't burn +RW at 4X, so I have to burn them at 2.4X for now.

                  Other than that, Verbatim once again makes reliable media with a lifetime warranty that I actually trust my data backups to.
