Did anyone else buy the Samsung D53 digital camera at Walmart? How does Samsung compare with Polaroid?

This must have been a Walmart exclusive because it's not listed on the Samsung web site as a model. Does anyone know how this camera would compare with the Polaroid A700 which was on sale at Kmart? Any opinions on who might make the best inexpense digital camera--Samsung or Polaroid? I do know that the Samsung is very confusing to use out of the box. There are many features but a steep learning curve on figuring out how to use them.

1. Neither. I don't know how much retailers are advertising these for, but if Canon, Olympus, Fuji or Kodak had one within $100, I would opt for one of those and consider it money well spent. I use a Samsung digicam at work for taking passport photos and it is completely unimpressive. Polaroid spent a lot of time in bankruptcy, and is behind on the digital curve. Good luck in finding the right camera. BTW, if you are switching from a film camera, ALL digicams have a steep learning curve!
2. I bought the Polaroid camera on sale from K-Mart this weekend. I am not impressed. But then again, you get what you pay for. For $100, it is an okay camera. I have not seen the Samsung D53, but I have seen pictures taken from different Samsung models and they are pretty comparable to the Polaroid. Pretty even. Clear and colorful, but lacking that crisp, even effect from better models. I have had awesome luck and beautiful pictures from my Sony cameras. Might want to check out a Sony!
