Haven't had much luck with this model of Polaroid. The rainbow makes is look cool but I have purchased 2 and they quit working after only a couple of months.

I'm not sure. We had a prior model of this camera and it lasted forever. If there was a warranty for purchase, we didn't buy it. If it came with one, I don't know the specifics of it.

Just facing a major repair issues with this camera, it is about 2 yrs old. But if you are an amateur or pro shooter who go through thousands of photos a month, this could have come sooner in 3-6 months. My use of this camera has not been as heavy as my previous K5 in the same frame of time. Just a thought, how has your camera done since your Jan 2013 purchase? I purchased mine in summer of 2013

Sorry, I don't remember... I'll look for it when the camera breaks :-). I think it is at least 1 year, but this info should be easy to find out online.

It is a good camera compared to the others I have had. Not sure what kind of warranty other than i had a month to return it. I have asked a question and never got a response yet from the tech guys. I guess they exist.

I don't know, I'm not that good with a camera. I do know the battery last for ever.

I can't answer that directly as it depends on use, I expect. I don't think I've replaced one in over 5 years, but I always keep an extra on hand. I did buy one that was a dud, but think it wasn't a Canon one. Would never again try to get a cheaper one. Not worth the savings. I would recommend getting an extra new one to keep on hand if you're traveling, but sounds like yours are still going strong at this point.

I dont know as mine broke before i even had a chance to use it. Just wanted to let you know that it is a very cheaply made camera that more than likely wont last long. Best of luck to you .

One year from date of purchase. Canon has been good about fixing things past warranty if it is a defect over a large sample of cameras. The old Powershot S1is had a batch of bad CCD sensors from sony. I owned one, and the co worker I sold it to, had it repaired at no charge 5 years later.

I don't understand your question, if your asking: Does this camera have time as in how long has it been in the market? : I bought mine like 4 or 5 years ago so it's been a while, (and stopped working properly about 6-7 month after buying it; but looks good as a decor element) or Does this camera have time as if this camera has timestamp? yes it has but can't remember where is in the menu sorry..

Mine lasts at least an hour of filming. I haven't used it longer at any given time so I can't speak to the exact duration.

It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used. I charge it to the full extent for a couple hours and it will last me for the month on regular use,(I use it a couple times each week). I have charged it and taken it on weekend trips as well where it is in constant use while I am sightseeing,(I won't shut it off for hours,) and when we get home from the trip it still has at LEAST one bar. I've realized I have never even had an occurrence where I had to question whether it was going to die or not. I have not however, used it to record video for long periods of time, so I have no idea on how it lasts for recording. Hope that helps! It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used.

Ours died after 338 photos - The CCD (part that inputs images behind lens) is dead - Return it if you can, warranty it if you can, otherwise its trash.

Of course, it depends on how many pictures were taken in that hour, the flash, video, replay, and speed. I simply take pictures of my twins on special occasions. I've never really had a problem w/the battery life and can do a good 2 days while traveling w/out recharging. If it continues maybe you can contact customer service about replacing the battery bc the camera must be relatively new. Mine is only 5 months old.

Thank you Guys for all your answers. Just want to ask one more question. When is the time to recharge it to prolong its lifespan? When it is completely dead, when light is red when pressing that little button or should I rely on camera battery status?

I have had mine on about 12 hours of use. Still have the factory batteries in it. The camera batteries going dead is the problem I run into when do time lapses.

I've been using it for 8 month now. The camera is great. Survived in 100F - 120F daily last 2 month.
