Summary: CAVEAT EMPTOR!
Review: RCA has really let the consumer have it on this camera! It works fine on Windows 95 and 98, but you will end up with hours of frustration and difficulty if you happen to upgrade your system to XP. The RCA digital camera tech told me on the phone that the camera and XP are incompatible and I could only run the camera on Windows 98. He said something about buying a flashcard, hooking that up, and then hung up on me. I will never buy another RCA product again as long as I live. Instead of developing a driver to work with XP, they just discontinued the camera. So buyer beware: THIS CAMERA IS CURRENTLY DISCONTINUED AND THERE ARE NO DRIVERS FOR XP. There's a file you can download from RCA that's suppose to update the drivers, but it doesn't work, and there is no one available with RCA to help you figure out how to make it work. Your $200 is better spent elsewhere. Take it from someone who spent $400.

Review: Very disappointed in an old familiar company that use to stand for service, quality and integrity.
I bought this camera because I was working for a newspaper and needed to be able to send photos immediately. It is difficult to use in anything but broad daylight, because the buttons are so difficult to read, and distinguish. If you barely touch the battery hatch, the batteries fall out. I was filming a magic act, and the entire audience had hushed; I prepared to take a picture and all of the batteries fell, one at a time to the hardwood floor. It sounded like gunshot. I was so embarrassed. Now, I have the XP upgrade, and I find that this 400 dollar white elephant is a thing of the past.If you, like me, Got stuck with this lemon, I commiserate. (That's just too much dust, RCA- Where is your sense of customer service? RCA, if you ever read these, I'd really like a driver for my camera. I might buy accessories for this if it worked. If I don't get a drive, I will NEVER buy RCA again!!! )
