Summary: Decent
Review: For the low cost, and small size, it's a cute little toy. The pictures are somewhat decent, but all images are web cam quality.

I wouldn't replace my other digital camera with it since the quality isn't that great, and the resolution isn't even 1MP. But to play with and just carry around for random snapshots of junk I see on the street, it's a great little thing to keep in my pocket.

As much as I like it, I have to admit that the worst feature is the annoying beep which simply cannot be disabled. What the hell were they thinking when they added this was a "feature?"

Summary: doable in a pinch - a real toy camera
Review: Granted the price can't be beat but what I can't seem to get over is how quickly the batteries run out and how unstable the software seems to be. I take it out to the beach for quick scenic shots. The pics came out decent. Though, any indoor or people shots normally come out rather fuzzy. I didn't take any more that maybe 10 pics each time, but I had trouble getting the software to download them. Had to boot and reboot several times to get the viewer app to load. Photos have to be downloaded right away, as in within an hour, else the battery will deplete and photos are erased. I've lost many that way. It's great for quick snaps for ebay and such, but other than that, I wouldn't count on it for much.

Summary: Too much fun.
Review: I asked several co-workers if they would like to have the camera for free. Unfortunately, they have already heard about the problems of the camera and no one wants it. The biggest problem is that you need it to be perfectly still when taking a picture, or it will be blurry. I am unfortunately unable to keep that still. I ended up buying a new Minolta Dimage XI which takes much better picutres in all kinds of situations.

I would avoid this camera at all costs.

Summary: Too much fun.
Review: I bought on of these cute cameras on ebay for 19.95 for the heck of it. What a fun little camera. I've had no problem with
batteries, taken numerous pictures, and made a bunch of short
avi movies. It really does great outside, not so good inside. But for the price what a load of fun. A truly great toy for the
youthful camera bug and a good bit of fun for the grown up folks, too. Don't let anybody sour you on this really quite amazing little camera.

Summary: Great Camera for what you paid
Review: I bought this camera a month ago, and I am very happy with it. Those that are not satisfied is probably because they were expecting a high-end camera for 40 bucks which does not make any sense.
Problems of the camera: 1) No flash. It will NOT take pictures unless it is very clear. This poses some problems for those that want to take a lot of indoor pictures. 2) Batteries run out very fast (Solution: buy rechargable batteries, and make sure to turn the camera off everytime you use it). 3) Picture quality: pictures are not perfect, but the software can help you with that (EDIT option). Ideal if you only want to take pictures to put them in the web, and then print them by a professional service (I put them on yahoo photos, then order a print for 1 dollar, and it was of farily good quality). Good things about the camera: 1) Price. You will need to pay at least $... to get a better camera, but if you have that money, go for it. 2) Portability. I took it to a ski trip, no problems, it did not break, and it was not a hazzle to carry it around. 3) It serves as webcam also, and it delivers 'movies' of superior quality. 4) It is a cool gadget to have. 5) Price Price Price.

Summary: A piece of junk
Review: I bought this camera for a Christmas gift. My mistake was to buy it more than 30 days before Christmas [Amazon.com will not refund anything over 30 days]. So I have to eat the [expenditure], I spent. The camera will not take a clear pic,in any setting. All pic look like they are out of focus. In addition the software that comes with the camera continues to create faults and re-boots both of my computers. The camera is going into the wastebasket

Summary: Great camera but keep your expectations realistic....
Review: I bought this camera for my 8 year old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves it, and I must admit that I borrow it for a quick photo from time to time.

Both the camera and the software are easy to use. I noticed that the photos are blurry around the edges, most likely caused by the tiny size of the lens. We learned to transfer the images to the computer right away, because if the battery goes too low, we lose all our pictures.

I think it's the perfect camera to give to the kiddo's as their first camera. No film to develop keeps this one in use a lot more than the others. If you are taking photos for online auctions it would be fine, too, but don't expect workable images for print or otherwise from this one.

Summary: Great for the money
Review: I bought this tiny wonder for my 13 year old son for X-mas and he just loves it. It takes decent pictures, does short 'movies' and he uses it as a web camera. His friends all want one. He can take it to school and if he loses/breaks it - I can afford to buy him another one. I read previous warnings about the battery so he downloads every day and changes the battery often. I would highly recommend it. No, it's not the best camera but for under $40 its a great deal.
