Polaroid x530 Review and Sample Photos

Polaroid x530Orac.vu have posted a quick paragraph about the Polaroid x530 including sample photos - the camera is the only consumer point and shoot digital camera to use the Foveon sensor - and it seems rarer than even the Contax i4r. The camera was recalled in the UK due to "quality and demand issues", but may still be available in the US. It features a 1.5/4.5 megapixel Foveon sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens, and a 2" screen:

"I’m taking all these pictures with a really weird digital camera: the Polaroid X530. It’s got a strange type of image sensor in it from Foveon, which isn’t used in any other cameras except one Sigma SLR. It’s pretty cheap, focuses like crap, and takes photos which are sometimes really janky, and super grainy in low light, but have an amazing film-like quality sometimes. I think of it as my digital Holga."
