VIDEO. The Polaroid Cube+ takes good video, at a quality like nearly all Action camcorders. Pictures were sharp though not as much as the better models, which means you can see much but not all details and subtle patterns in the image. In low-light situations, the video was good: quite viewable but not as bright or clear as the better models. It captures HD video at 1920x1440 at 30 frames per second (fps), progressive-scan (p) and has an above-normal frame-rate mode 1280x720 at 120p fps.
AUDIO. It captures poor audio in mono.
PHOTO QUALITY. In Photo mode it captures at best 8-megapixel stills with merely fair quality.
LENS. The lens has a fixed focal length; it has no zoom capability.
IMAGE STABILIZER. Shooting in well-lit scenes, this model did a good job of minimizing the effects of camcorder shake.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. It survived our repeated-drop test. (Our water-resistance results are still pending). This model is about average in size and much lighter than the average action camcorder.
