Rating: Summary: RCA Digital Camera Review: I purchased my camera through my retail electronics store (...) The picture quality in fine and normal is great. Ecomony is usable for websites. I wish it came with a larger compactflash card, but that's easily purchased. I also wished the access doors felt a bit more beefy, but it will hold up OK. I heartily recommend the CDS6300. 4 1/2 stars!
Rating: Summary: What a deal! RCA has done it! Review: I purchased the RCA CDS6300 over a month ago and have found it extremely user friendly. The software that came with it is not user friendly and have been trying to locate a better program. The pictures are extremely clear and the use of the flash just really lights everything up. I purchased an additional 64MB Compact Flash along with the 8MB Compact Flash that comes with it. These CF's are amazing little data holder. Also, purchased a SanDisk downloader which saves on the batteries quite a bit. Also, realized that rechargeable batteries were needed and have been a good move in the right direction....
Rating: Summary: Great for the price Review: I purchased two of the RCA digital cameras 11/02, one as a gift for my son. They took very nice photos. Exactly one year after purchase, my battery compartment cover cracked and the camera became useless. The same thing happened to my son's camera at almost the same time. As the covers were attached only by two small screws, I assumed (my first mistake)I would be able to order replacement parts and have two working cameras. I got nothing but the run-around from RCA customer "service," and the generous "offer" of allowing me to buy two replacement cameras for a couple hundred dollars. They refused to allow me just to buy the parts. I will never buy another RCA product and will make sure as many poeple know it as possible.

Rating: Summary: camera died quickly Review: I received this camera as a gift. This is my first digital camera and it seems to have fantastic features for the price. After taking about 10 pictures, the camera froze on me while I was in the process of taking a picture. The camera will not come back to life and it is not a battery problem because I tried to use the AC adapter. Maybe I had some bad luck.
Rating: Summary: Nice litttle camera GREAT IMAGES - poor battery life Review: I would get the rechargable batteries if buying this camera, although the menu options are simple, the features are well thought out. The size, weight and shape are much like a traditional 35mm. BUT the lens cap should be on a small lanyard - lens cap is lightweight and can be lost very easily. Two nice features - seperate viewfinder and ability to shut off LCD screen to preserve battery life. Which is HIGHLY needed in the daytime. Especially beacause this little guy SUCKS BATTERY LIFE to no end!!! - Keep spare batteries on you at all times!!!I took some of my best photos with this little gem - overall a GREAT camera for the cost. Uses generic COMPACTFLASH memory cards. The software that comes with it is FANTASTIC!!! I great buy - for a starter digital cam owner!!!!
Rating: Summary: What a wonderful camera! Review: I've had mine for about 2 weeks. Have taken hundreds of pictures. Simple to use. Easy instructions. Owners manual is in English. It's not one of those instruction manuals that has 3 pages of impossible to understand English, and 40 pages of other languages. I read through it ONCE, and completely understood everything I needed to know about this camera. It's a joy to use. Takes great pictures that look like you used a film camera. I know one of the complaints is battery life, but I haven't had to replace batteries yet. If you use the included AC adapter when transferring pics to computer, it helps save battery power. The pictures transfer very quickly to the computer. I love this camera and haven't found one thing I dislike about it.
Rating: Summary: VERY SATISFIED OWNER OF RCA CDS6300 Review: THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR GLOWING REVIEW OF THIS CAMERA. YOUR INFO CONVINCED ME TO PURCHASE THIS CAMERA AFTER TRYING THREE OTHER BRANDS. I HAVE SHOT OVER 200 PICTURES AND MY ONLY DISAPPOINTMENT IS THAT THE FLASH DOESN'T SEEM TO GO OUT FAR ENOUGH IN DARKER SITUATIONS. OTHERWISE, I WILL PUT ITS NORMAL QUALITY PICTURES UP AGAINST ANY. I HAVE NOT FOUND THE BATTERIES TO BE A PROBLEM AS SOME HAVE REPORTED BUT BECAUSE OF A COUPLE OF THE REVIEWS, I BOUGHT A BATTERY CHARGER AND 8 BATTERIES AT SAM'S CLUB FOR 19.95. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I'M READY FOR ANY SITUATIONS. OTHER THAN MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE FLASH DISTANCE, IT'S A 5 STAR CAMERA. THANKS AGAIN FOR POINTING ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Rating: Summary: POOR Engineering_Battery Door Review: The RCA CDS-6300 camera is a piece of junk and RCA knows it. We all know about the horrible battery life and that is to be somewhat expected. The pictures were good but the major issue is the battery door which fails. It would be simple to engineer a new door for retrofitting. They claim too costly so they ignore it and tell you that the only thing you can do is to purchase a replacement camera. Contacting customer service is a joke either through email or through their 800 number. We need to get together as a group to make them stand behind their product. For what I have spent on this camera, I could have purchased a decent Sony.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Camera!!! (...) Review: This Camera is Completely Awesome and is probably the best specs for the price.. (...) Also I agree with the other reviews, it does eat up batteries, but there is an easy solution to it.. Go and get some AA Nimh Rechargeable batteries.. and a recharger.. the batteries last twice as long as normal batteries.... besides that the pictures are professinal quality, if not better...
