Rating: Summary: Great camera Review: worth the low price and extremely portable.
Rating: Summary: Cute Junk Review: Low resolution, slow shutter speeds, slow downloads, and if the single AAA battery dies while you're shooting, you lose all your photos. Yes, it can be used as a webcam- but there are better webcams for that purpose. The problem with this puppy is that while it looks promising on paper, it just doesn't do anything very well. For not much more you can get a better camera with flash memory that won't vanish when the battery dies, or a web cam with much better resolution. I didn't pay anything for mine- I received it as a corporate thank-you gift- so I won't mind giving it away to a child who can play with it.

Rating: Summary: Technicall problem Review: The camera seems to delete all my pictures for an unknown reason. And the quality is not that good. think about it .3 megapixels is bad. spend a lil bit more and get somthing better.
Rating: Summary: A lot for a little Review: I bought this so I'd always have a camera in my car, without worrying about the effect of heat and cold on conventional film. The SiPix Stylecam Blink II costs somewhat more than a disposable camera, but there are no processing costs, and it can be re-used. Plus, it is amazingly small. If you have one of the new cellphones that includes a camera, you likely won't need this too. But the Blink II also makes a fine good resolution Web cam. The Blink II is definitely worth its cost if you need either a Web cam or an extra camera for the car. On the other hand, its 640 X 480 resolution, fixed focus, and lack of either a flash or a lens cover are obvious limitations in serious photography.
Rating: Summary: My New Baby Review: Yea.. its a pretty good camera... for outdoors... for indoors and poor lighting... its not all that great... its more like a webcam quality picture... dimmed... faded... blotchy... but its good enough to tell who's who.. in the picture... sort of.. heheh.. the software.. was a little weird.. i managed to get the program to load properlly after a couple of tries.. i think some people who arent familiar with their pc will have problems.. make sure you install all drivers into your computer before you hook up your camera or things just gets weird on you or freeze up your computer... for a few secs... then.. restart your computer.. log back on.. and plug in your camera... then.. windows will detect your camera... make sure the installation cd is in your cd-drive and windows will install another or install the drivers again... everything works fine and dandy... the thing id like for them to improve is a little lense cover that i can either twist to open and close a shutter or something... i keep the camera in my pocket and pocket lint is all over the lense... i can see it... so i have to blow on it to get some of the lint off... i don't think it effects the picture but it bugs me to see lint on my lense... another thing id like them to improve is the ability to store the camera with out taking the battery out.. cause the camera drains the battery to retain the memory for the picture.. maybe i can have a switch.. or something.. so i don't have to always take the battery out... or have memory that doesn't erase when i take the battery out for more than 30 seconds... i like it so far... o yea.. if its too dark outside or to dim indoors... when u try to take the picture it will beep twice telling you that it won't take a good picture so it won't take it... if it can take a picture with good lighting it'll beep once... that way i don't waste my time on deleting bad pictures... Hope this helps
Rating: Summary: Little Review: The camera is smaller in person than what it looks like in the picture. I'm having problems setting up the software on my computer. You can's see the pictures you've taken until you hook it up to your computer. I give it 3 stars because it's so small and can fit it in your pocket.
Rating: Summary: Almost useless Review: After purchasing this camera, I noticed that the battery was dying even without images in the camera. I thought my camera defective, until I discovered this comment on p. 8 of the product manual (which can be found on amazon.com):
"Even without images in the camera, the StyleCam Blink II will slowly draw battery power. To conserve battery power, after downloading images, remove the battery from camera.
Caution: The camera will use battery power when a battery is inserted. Remove the battery from the camera after downloading pictures or when not in use."
Enough said.
Rating: Summary: Fatally Flawed Review: I bought this camera for my son's 8th birthday. The picture quality is a bit better than I expected from such a cheap camera (about the same as a camera phone). It is very tiny and can store a lot of pictures. HOWEVER... this camera has flaw that renders it useless: The memory gets cleared at random. You spend a few hours shooting pictures and suddenly, without warning, "poof" all your pictures are gone. This can happen with an old or new battery, after 1 or 30 pictures and with the camera on or off. It is totally random.
I ended up buying my son a Fuji Nexia Q1 APS camera to replace this one.
Rating: Summary: Nice chassis, but not much upstairs Review: The pictures on the best quality don't look normal. There is blotching resulting in blurred pictures. Even in extremely well lit situations, they still look odd. The previous model has better picture quality oddly. You would think they would get better in picture quality. I believe they just found more cost effective ways of producing the units as to reduce price. Unless your looking for extreme portability or a gift for a child, this is not a good buy.
