Rating: Summary: An absolute steal! Review: I LOVE this camera, and have been singing its praise to all my friends! For it's price ... it is unbeatable. The picture quality is excellent (and compares to scanned images from my Olympus 35mm), it is so easy to use (32 photos load in 2 seconds and the Corel Photo House software is fun & easy to use), photos can be seen on tv, battery life is excellent. For my priorities (price, ease of use, quality) to mainly e-mail friends & post photos on the web, it is perfect. ... However, if you try to take a close-up indoors, I've notices that the faces can get over-exposed (which the software can't fix). Some people have commented on the blurriness if the camera is moved, but this happens with expensive digitals, too. My experience is with a $1,000+ Sony at work, and, IMO, they are equally sensitive to movement at the time the shutter is clicked & just after (and, in my non-expert opinion, on screen quality isn't that much different - I can't vouch for the print quality of either product, since we don't use the Sony for prints, and I wouldn't use the Afga for prints). But, this one is MUCH more compact & easier to use (and less than 1 tenth the cost). The only comparible product I have seen is the JamCam (which looks more durable, the Afga seems kind of delicate), but I don't know how their photo quality compares.
Rating: Summary: AWFUL! Review: I purchased this camera for my folks and attempted to install it on their computer. After hours of frustrating work with the unfriendly software, I gave up and we returned the camera.... The software was DIFFICULT AND AT TIMES UNINTELLIGIBLE, PLUS THERE WERE A LOT OF DRIVERS MISSING. I don't know if I got defective software or if that's the way this product is, but never again!
Rating: Summary: Absolutely NOT USER Friendly Review: I purchased this camera to take pictures of house which am selling. Can not get CD's to work, if they downloaded on computer I don't know where. Wanted to give as a gift to one of my adult children but this seems to be an imperfect version of a digital camera. I don't know the quality of the pictures because I could not find out how to put them on the PC. I want to thank all of you for your comments. I am going to send it back. Amazon needs to have a rating of 0 stars, there is no rating for this item. Or Amazon could have a rating of minus stars not just positive stars.
Rating: Summary: Good Images, Relatively Cheap...Perfect gift for Christmas! Review: I received this camera as a birthday present from my boyfriend. I didn't even know I wanted a digital camera until I recieved this one. I enjoyed taking pictures, but since I am not very good at photography many of my shots didn't turn out and it was a really expensive screw up. I've had the camera for 5 days and have had so much fun with it. It can take up to 32 pictures on standard quality or 16 on high quality. (I've not really noticed a difference between the 2, but I've never printed one either.) Now everyday I take a "roll" of pictures and at the end of the day I look at all of them. I found this camera useful in many ways. For one, it is simple to use. Two, it has multiple uses: camera, web cam and you can view images on your TV or computer. Three, it is cheap...for what it does compared to all other cameras it is definately a best buy...after rebates you can find this camera as low as $100! What a good gift idea! Fourth, it is quite small so you can take it where ever you go...perfect for teenagers!
Rating: Summary: A very good camera! Review: I recently tried several digitals one being a Sony with all the bells and whistles you'd want but in comparing its photos, allowing for the same pixels, the little Agfa morethan measured up to it. It is small, easy to use and has a great package with it. Connecting to my computer was a breeze and even easier to my TV. Yes it does have shortcomings but used in the way is should it is a great little & inexpensive camera to carry around in your pocket!
Rating: Summary: Questionable quality Review: I wanted a digital camera that was under $150. I decided to buy the Agfa CL-18. I have since noticed that there are little spots in my pictures that are some kind of defect. Cleaning the lens does nothing to remove them. Another thing I noticed is that when taking pictures indoors sometimes the colors are not accurate. You also have to be careful when using the flash indoors because it is very easy to under or overexpose. There is also a large lag in between taking pictures that could bother someone who wants to take several pictures in a roll. However, the software is very easy to use, and the camera is very small and does not take too much battery power. Buy this if you want to take small, informal pictures for email and small pictures, or if you want a child or teenager to have something to play with. But if you have any desire to take a high-quality picture, and want to edit it, then use your film camera and a scanner.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: I was expecting a 2MB smart media card -- shame on me for not reading very carefully -- the real bummer is that this ONLY transfers via USB -- it's fine for my desktop, but not for my laptop. It may take nice photos - but if I can't get them out of the camera it's of no use. Seems silly not to have added a serial interface.
Rating: Summary: Basic Digital Camera Review: I was looking for a basic digital camera--mostly to send a few photos online. The AGFA CL18 seems to work well for that at its price. I first could not get photos from the camera to the PC. When I had to get a new printer, I learned some USB ports are underpowered. The camera worked once I installed a power USB hub.
Rating: Summary: Poor Quality and Few Features Review: I would not recommend this camera to anyone. Poor image quality, especially indoors, makes taking a good picture more work than should be necessary. Also, the lack of a digital LCD on the back to view your pictures right on the camera is a definite drawback. Indoor photos have very poor contrast and taking pictures of a moving object is impossible. Just try to get a cat to sit still long enough to take a good picture.
Rating: Summary: Great little camera Review: I've been using this camera for three days,I primarily bought it for e-mailing fotos to friends,and for this application it's great,simple to use and down load to PC,what a bonus the USB connection is on such an inexpensive unit!...the camera is almost to small for my big hands,I've been using the tri-pod attachment for a better grip,however it's not really necessary. You really can't go wrong with this camera.
