It has an improved resolution for crisper, more professional looking photographs, point-and-shoot simplicity and all of the features normally associated with much more expensive cameras.

It has a storage capacity at 640x480 resolution of 12 images in superfine, 24 images in high resolution and 36 images in standard resolution. In 320x240 resolution, the PDC 640 will hold 96 images. Plus, the camera comes with an easy-to-use image-editing software for manipulation, resizing and retouching of images.

Not bad for a second camera, but..........2003-10-19

This was the second digital camera I picked up, to replace an early one that was fine for the time, but...

The PDC640 takes decent pictures "for the web," as others have said. If that, and simple needs, are all you want, great. Do yourself a favor, though, and pick up a USB media card reader. The software and serial cable are not supported under WinXP, or on a Mac - but the images are stored on the card as .jpg files, readable anywhere. The USB reader will be *many* times faster than the serial cable, as well, and no special software is needed.

If you print the pictures (full page) you'll notice some problems - but if you're to the point of printing pictures, you'll want a higher resoution camera anyway. It also takes a LONG time to charge, and several seconds between shots to recharge. Battery life really depends on what batteries you buy - cheap ones, it'll eat like a kid with candy. Buy decent batteries (or rechargables) and they'll last a long, long time.

When the batteries are ready to go, though (1/4 left in the indicator) the pictures get awfully dark - you can see them get darker and darker. The viewscreen will, of course, eat them faster.

If you need high resolution, zoom, etc. this isn't the camera for you. For quick family pics, though, it's fine.

THE BEST LITTLE DIGITAL CAMERA IN THE WORLD !.......2002-06-12

I BOUGHT MY CAMERA TWO YEARS AGO IN A WALL MART STORE . AT THAT TIME I PAID [money] FOR IT ; I HAVE USED THIS CAM. ALOT I TAKE ALL KINDS OF PICTURES WITH IT . I LOVE IT ; I HAVE TWO FRIENDS THAT BOUGHT THE SAME CAM. AFTER THEY SEEN PICTURES I HAD TOOK WITH IT; NOW I AM E-MAILING YOUR ADD. TO ANOTHER FRIEND WHO IS GOING TO BUY ONE. (I SHOULD BE A SALES LADY FOR YOU )LOL
I HAVE THREE MEMORY CARDS AND I KEEP ONE IN MY CAM. ALL OF THE TIME; A VERY GOOD CAM. AT A VERY LOW PRICE;

Great first time camera.......2002-06-10

I bought this camera a few months ago and love it. It takes great pictures and loads to the PC easily. Only draw back is theres no zoom lens. Take a look at the pictures taken with it in my webshots pages: [website]

Very Good For Beginners But Needs More Resolution.......2002-06-08

I won a Polaroid PDC 640 Creative Kit in a contest. Given its current MSRP, I would not have purchased it due to the limited resolution (640 x 480 pixels). The market is full of digital cameras with better resolution (1-1.5 megapixels) for about the same price.

As ease of use goes, it doesn't get much better than this. You simply put in the batteries, install the SmartMedia card, turn it on, and start clicking away. In order to download the pictures you've taken the software must be installed to your computer. In response to the one reviewer who complained about the software not being compatible with certain editions of Windows, you need merely to go to Polaroids's website and download the patch for Windows 2000 or in my case, Windows XP. It took only a few minutes to download and I was soon up and running.

This camera is fairly intuitive if you have at least a working knowledge of digital cameras. I found myself only having to review the user's manual once, and it is fairly straightforward. The green flash indicator in the viewfinder makes it difficult to frame your shot as one previous reviewer noted, and aside from the limited resolution this is about the only other negative thing I can say about the camera. Although it interfaces with the computer via serial cable as opposed to the much faster USB, I haven't found this to be a major problem. I downloaded 14 pictures to my PC in only about 2-3 minutes just the night before writing this review. Picture quality is fair in the high resolution mode, good in super high resolution mode. I don't recommend using either the medium or low resolution settings.

Lastly, regarding battery life complaints I haven't found the PDC 640 to be any worse than any other digital camera. The kit includes an AC adapter which I highly recommend be used for downloads, which accounts for considerably more battery drain than actual picture taking. The resolution mode you use will also make a difference (higher resolution = more battery use).

If you're looking for an easy to use digital camera the PDC 640 is a very good choice. If you want the highest quality that digital photography has to offer, look elsewhere...but you'll have a slightly more complicated camera.

Bad battery life, poor driver support, serial only..........2002-01-20

I got this for Christmas a couple years ago. The first thing I disliked was the battery life -- I'd run out by the New Year. Plus, Polaroid didn't keep up on writing drivers when Windows 2000 came out (though there is Linux/FreeBSD support via gPhoto), and the green view-finder light is annoying. Now I have a white iBook and there's basically no hope for compatibility, as my camera only came with a serial cable (not a USB cable). Polaroid's recent Chapter 11 filing probably means I won't get Mac OS X drivers any time soon (though Apple may come through in the next versions of iPhoto). If you work only work on a supported platform and like giving Energizer money, this still isn't the camera for you!

TDK smashes the speed barrier with its 24/10/40 veloCD ReWriter. The proof is in the numbers: burn a full CD in 4 minutes with 24X writing and rip a 3-minute audio track in 5 seconds with 40X digital audio extraction. If you demand uncompromising quality and unrivaled performance, you need the flagship veloCD 24/10/40, the world's first 24X CD burner.True to the TDK heritage of digital audio excellence, the 24/10/40 veloCD burner sets a new record with bit-perfect 40X digital audio extraction. Ripping audio with a typical CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is often slow and inaccurate, and the process often contaminates files with audible clicks and pops. The veloCD 24/10/40 delivers a clean, pop-free rip every time. With 40X ripping and 24X writing, the veloCD burner is so fast it may be the only drive you need. For CD-to-CD-R recording, it's a one-drive alternative that's better sounding and takes less than half the time of most two-drive setups. The 24X veloCD lets you burn while running multiple applications. With BURN-Proof write assurance technology, buffer underrun errors are eliminated. You're free to burn CDs while you surf the Web, download music or print a document. With the 24X veloCD, you're assured of perfect CDs every time - no failed sessions, no CD coasters. TDK makes CD rewriting faster and more convenient. The 24/10/40 veloCD combines the advanced functionality of 10X rewriting with the convenience of drag-and-drop recording.

Item might be good if they shipped it.......2004-09-18

I ordered two of these coolers because they have the long lasting ball bearing fans. They shipped the wrong model - the cheaper one with the sleeve bearings. Tiger accepted my return but what a hassle because some warehouse goof can't read directions. I still want drive coolers but I'll try and get them from a more reliable source now.

This HDD cooler is quiet and good looking (assuming you open your computer's chassis to look at it), but it generally isn't practical to install. Few HDD bays can accomodate the installation of this device without significant jury-rigging.

A case that actually works well.......2005-10-07

For those whom this may concern, this case also fits the iPod 30GB Photo. The case isn't as tight as people describe it but it fits perfectly. This case doesn't make the ipod much thicker. It barely adds any weight on in fact.

The plastic that it's made of is great. It is definately scratch resistant; it's so strong that you could use a pocket knife and scratch the back and your ipod won't even be harmed. When you put the case into jean pockets, it tends to stick in there so taking it out will inside-out your pockets (I hope that made sense). This case will not slid off a dashboard either (although I wouldn't recommend it). Although the packaging says that it's shock absorbant, I don't recommend dropping your iPod.

For a screen protector and wheel protector, I recommend that you cut out a piece of paper protecter and slip that into the case. The hard plastic that the cases come in will also work but after you cut it out, you'll have to use sandpaper to sand it smooth so it doesn't scratch you iPod once you put it in.

After you have the plastic in the case, you're ipod will be completely protected. The only thing i don't like is the top is too wide open and dust tends to get in from the top. The bottom of the case is perfect; it closes completely so the case also acts as a dock protector.

I have an iPod 20 GB also, and this fits that as well. As for the 40GB iPods, I wouldn't recommend it. My friends who have the 40GB iPod tell me that it doesn't not fit. Some have been able to JAM the ipod into the case but that cannot be good for it.

Taking an iPod (20/30GB) out of the case is very easy and smooth. It will not scratch the ipod at all when you put it in or take it out.

For those people who sync thousands of songs at a time, you should take your iPod out of the case because the harddrive gets hot and the skin is only making it hotter... hot = bad.

Overall, this case is wonderful. I wouldn't recommend anything as this price is perfect COMPARED TO OTHER CASES. Honestly speaking, I think that these cases took less than 25 cent to make in a factory and I believe that the price is outrageous. Like I said however, COMPARED TO OTHER CASES' PRICES, this is actually pretty good.

Pros:
+ Long lasting material
+ Cheaper than other cases
+ Scratch resistant
+ Doesn't scratch iPod when removing/putting on
+ You can dock/charge/sync iPod without removing case

Cons:
- You have to make your own screen/wheel protection
- The case's top is a little too large and allows dust to enter
- Doesn't have holes in the back to let the iPod "breathe"
