1 Great when you don't have your usual camera
My digital camera broke while on vacation so we picked up one of these to use for the last two days. The quality of the prints was comparable to a fixed focus camera. Not great, but acceptable. And the same could be said for the digital pictures. I'm not sure what the resolution is, but I'd say about 1.3 megapixels. I wouldn't want to make big prints from them but they were fine for viewing on screen and emailing.
As to the other reviews, I don't find anything deceptive about the product. I don't recall that the pictures require realplayer and even if they did you can get a realplayer viewer free on their site. Also, the box clearly says that the it simply gives you a digital disk of pictures when you process the film. Overall, I think in certain situations this is a good and useful product.
2 Disc works on Realplayer only! This will cost you extra!
I purchased this product and had the film developed. The prints came out "ok" but I paid additional money to get the disc in order to send the pictures via e-mail. When I tried to access the pictures on the disc I came to realize that it only works with Realplayer software. Therefore, the disc was useless to me unless I paid additional money to Purchase Realplayer software for my computer. This was not disclosed to me up-front before I paid my money for the digital prints on the disc. I cannot view the prints unless I spend additional money to purchase Realplayer. I was shocked and dismayed at this unethical business practice. This could be the basis of a good class action lawsuit againts Kodak & Realplayer.
3 deceptvie advertising at its finest
This is NOT a digital single-use camera as its name may lead you to believe. This is a regular disposable camera using regular film - you simply get a CD with it when you have it processed. Do not be misled.
4 Pretty Good Value, OK Quality
My Dad took picutres at my wedding with one of these cameras, and got back the digital photos with his prints. Both were of equal quality as far as that goes. The camera focuses well.
However, we found that even with its built in flash, the pictures that he took inside, during the wedding, were dim and relatively worthless. The exterior pictures were lit fine, but the "mood lighting" was dim, and the flash wasn't able to compensate for that.
*****Final Thoughts*****
The camera is a great one to grab on your way to the zoo or the ball game, but if you're going to your high-school graduation or with some friends to a dinner, you probably want to pass.
This is a brightly-lit-area camera.
