1 Don't waste your money
This is the worst camera I have ever bought. As soon as I replaced the battery the thing went dead. The pictures were decent but the quailty of the camera is awful!!
2 electronic fan i totaly agree with u....
These Other Reviewers are Rediculous!, December 25, 2003
Reviewer: An electronics fan i agree with 100 %. this camera is 20 bucks and just a little cheap cam to take fun pics. i bought a 150$$ 1 off hsn and i could see me writing a bad report about that cuz it was over 100$$ but not over 20$$!!!!!! relly did u did u actualy think that this camera would be all that great??? im buying 1 of these 2morrow and will write another review about how really bad this $20 camera wuz.
3 Look somewhere else...
I bought this item thinking it might be fun to have a webcam that doubles as a handy digital camera. It was cheap enough, so I ignored the bad reviews for this item. And now here I am giving my own bad review.
The quality of the images you capture with this camera (as a webcam or a digital still camera) is just plain horrible. Everything turns out very fuzzy and color washouts everywhere. As a webcam, it's quite difficult to position this thing. You'd have to come up with your own make-shift stand of somesort.
If you're looking for an affordable webcam, look somewhere else. This one's a horrible lemon. I've learned my lesson the hard way. Shopping for a new webcam right now.
4 Don't
Once you get this camera your going to wish you spent the extra money to pay for real camera. It takes good pictures out side and terrible pictures inside, it doesn't have a flash so don't expect to see anything. After I got this camera I bought the Kodak EasyShare CX6200. Which is a better camera and just about 50 bucks more. So spend the extra dough and get a better camera. You'll be disappointed when you get it. Basically you get what you paid for 26 bucks for a digital camera, Come on Get Real
5 Not worth even 5 dollars
For twenty dollars, I'd expect the item to work at least more than a week. Seriously, invest in some other product. I returned this item; a new one was sent. The second one broke in less time than the first. Seriously negative recommendation? Yes.
Amazon was really great about getting the merchandise replaced though. 5 stars for Amazon. Negative stars for this product.
6 These Other Reviewers are Rediculous!
I figured somebody should give this camera a decent review to balance out the extremely unrealistic negative reviews.
This is a TWENTY DOLLAR CAMERA PEOPLE!!!! Did you REALLY expect to get professional quality photos from it for TWENTY BUCKS????
I think this camera works perfect for what it costs. It takes very good photos for the incredibly low price. I bought this for my nephew to have fun with and mess around taking fun pics with friends and the photos look good. Granted you wouldn't print any or use this camera for important or special events you want to capture , you'd have to spend a lot more money for that type of camera. I have a very nice 600.00 camera for exactly that!
I wish people would stop reviewing products with thier extremely unrealistic expectations. If you seriously cared about getting great photos with a digital camera, you'd spend the money and buy a higher end camera.
Not spend a measly 20 bucks and expect superior quality. I suggest learning even a tiny bit about digital cameras before buying one and definitely before reviewing one and THEN you would probably realize you got a great camera for the money it cost.
7 Not worth it!
I received this camera as a promotion and it has never worked. I went to the company's website and requested technical support . . . that was over a month ago and I still have not heard from them - not even a follow up. It is JUNK!!
8 I've got what I've payed for....
This camera's picture quality is deplorable at any resolution. I should have figured this out from its .3 or so megapixels. But this isn't the worst thing about it: It's life span is comparable to a mosquito's....
9 [shodd]y and poor
the size is really nice, but it ends there. the picture quality is very grainy along with the video, no amount of settings could fix that. not worth the amount of money, spend a little more and get a better webcam. my 20 dollar webcam has better picture quality then this guy.
10 Useful, Small, Overall Good
I have to say the camera works great, if you know how to use it. In answer to those who say that the pics were not of high enough resolution, use a higher resolution. This camera is so small you can carry it in your pocket, without having a bulging huge looking pocket. It has a good battery life and overall may not be as good as the other cameras, but for it's price, and size, it is reasonable.
11 Cute and works, but the photos ...
I got this camera because I wanted a cheap way of taking photos of some items I own for online auctions. My plan was to take photos of only static objects in well-lit areas so I wouldn't have to worry about the quality of the resulting pictures. Unfortuntely, the quality of photos ended up being so poor that no amount of photoshop editing could help and I ended up returning the product.
It's definitely a cute camera and it feels and handles beautifully, unfortunately, it fails at its main purpose, which is taking at least decent (or at least recognizeable) images. A better choice is to save up some cash and get one of the neat digital Elphs by Canon (great quality photos, cute and slick, and handles great).
12 no
Ugh! I suppose this camera would be great if it worked. I bought it, and before I even installed the software, it broke. I guess if you have faith your's will work, go ahead and buy it. As for me, I'm looking for a better camera, and I might even splurge a bit.
13 Small Wonder
Why choose this small camera? Consider is its size and battery life. About 1/4" thick, like a Visa card. Shoot 500-1000 pictures before requiring a recharge.
Images are saved on 8Mb internal memory, 26 and 101 images at once, depending on resolution. It also has technology called AutoBrite, which fixes lighting conditions that can ruin a picture, like backlighting and glare.
