Comments about Polaroid X720E Waterproof HD Pocket Camcorder (Blue):
Recording quality and features are very good for a handheld camcorder. That's about where the good points end.
The interface is baffling. There's no dedicated "Play" button, and you actually need to press the weird large "Enter" button twice to play a video. There's a button with a menu icon that's used to delete videos. Instead of directional buttons, you use the zoom buttons to move around the menu system. There are certain conventions with buttons that help make devices easy to use, and this device violates too many of those, and the result is a frustrating experience.
The buttons themselves are lousy. They're hard to press, and don't have any tactile feedback to indicate that they've been pressed. They make the tips of my fingers hurt. Zooming while recording is especially painful.
A single press frequently results in double-triggering the button, which is no fun when you're trying to move one video to the left or right.
The plastic chassis is very easily scratched.
