Polaroid PDC-300 (1997)

< Zurück Weiter >

After the commercial failure of the PDC-2000 and PDC-3000, Polaroid decided to outsource their digital camera production line. The PDC-300 therefore is the first OEM-licensed digital camera Polaroid marketed. Shown at Comdex '97 and CES '98. With the PDC-300, Polaroid introduced their PhotoMAX label. The camera was available in the US only and was the perfect response to the ever growing request for cheaper digital cameras. A basic point-and-shoot digital camera with all the necessary features for a low price. The PhotoMAX kit contained everything one needed to hook the camera up to a PC and start downloading and editing pictures. Very basic, very simple. Actually, Polaroid was on the right path with this one as many other digital cameras didn't have easy-to-use camera software.

Fixed focus, self-timer, built-in flash, LCD screen, macro function and video output. The camera was made by Premier Imaging Technology, a taiwanese manufacturer.
