Polaroid i735 7 MP Digital Camera

Polaroid i735 7 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD
If you're looking for an inexpensive, stylish camera, with many of the features found on more expensive models, then you should take a look at the Polaroid i735. I recently purchased this camera for my sister who was looking for an ultra compact digital camera that wasn't over-complicated, that she could easily carry with her. I first looked at the Canon PowerShot SD1200IS but then discover Polaroid's camera has many of the same features at a fraction of the price. So let us explore the features of the i735:

First I'll note the color -- Polaroid Pink...which is a great campaign for breast cancer awareness.

-- The camera sports 7.0 megapixel resolution...not quite the 10 megapixels of the Canon PowerShot, but it is comparable to 35mm film,and allows you to resize your prints without losing quality in the detail.

-- Both the Polaroid i735 and the Canon PowerShot have a large 2.5" LCD screen.

-- Both cameras have 3x optical zoom/4x digital zoom which allows you to preview and review images on that bright 2.5" screen.

Side-by-side, the Polaroid i735 7 MP Digital Camera is one of the best cameras for the price. The only real cons are the low battery life and a shake reducing option for the photographer who doesn't use a tripod. Overall, this is a great camera at a great price.
