Rating: Summary: Good camera. Review: I've had no problems with this camera. I got what I expected. An inexpensive, low end digital camera. The pictures seem to be a bit better than those taken with a 110 camera. Prints at 3X5 done on an HP952C look great. It's not as hard on batteries as some have said. Perhaps if you use the flash a lot, maybe it would be. I've taken over seventy low compression pictures so far and the battery meter still says full. The flash is probably the weakest feature. Kind of a desperation option. In house pictures under regular light look great. Just keep the camera still. What's new about that. The download TWAIN driver transfers 16 low compression files to PC in about 10 seconds.I'm happy with it. Someday I'll want more quality and features, but this camera is a good start.
Rating: Summary: Unable to download pictures. Review: I've tried to install the software at least 10 times...on two computers and two different operating systems...always the same result...pics won't download, if fact, I have to shut the computer down cause it freezes.
Rating: Summary: Basic Digital Camera Review: In one year I had the camera replace three times by AGFA. Would of been more but it is about three-four month process for each and now my warranty is up. It stops working permanatly in 80 degree heat. It eats batteries like crazy. It extremely slow. It takes at least 10-15 secs between being able to take pictures. AGFA customer service is horrible. It's a Long distance call everytime. Make sure you have a half hour to wait on hold. I would not be surprised if I haven't paid the same amount in long distance as I did for the camera. I returned the third camera in Nov, they returned the camera in March and I still haven't gotten all the parts I need and it is now April. Last time I called was three weeks ago and today they said they have no new information on when my cables will be delivered. Don't make the mistake I did, spend a little more money, don't buy AGFA and you will save money in the long run.

Rating: Summary: not bad, not great Review: It works as advertised...software is really neat and easy to work with. Inside pictures can be a little dark...Outside pictures are better. I'd suggest it be used only as a "picures for email" camera. You can use it live but you need a lot of light.

Rating: Summary: A handy little snapshot taker Review: Most valuable as a pocket-sized light weight snap-shot camera that allows you to pass images round the globe that night. When travelling, its convenient to delete unwanted pictures each night by reviewing on your hotel TV (choose NTSC or PAL for US or EU TVs). On a recent trip I achieved 22 "high quality" photos which provided a great instant record. Indoor flash range is limited - still useful for reasonably close-up work, but can be confused by a bright light behind the subject, and doesn't work well as a fill-in flash, so don't expect wonderous results. Overall: excellent VFM.
Rating: Summary: Agfa Cl20 Review: Recently purchased an Agfa CL20 which looks exactly the same as a CL18 but features a Compactflash disk. This camera was inexpensive and simple to operate and download. In June I went to Europe and took about 350 pictures most of which came out very good....why?...because I know how to take a picture and more importantly learned how to use this camera....it is that simple, and might I remind some critics that cameras don't suck.
Rating: Summary: little and slow Review: The resolution on this camera isn't very good, and it takes a good 7 seconds to take the picture. So you have sit there forever.
Rating: Summary: Poor image capture speed Review: This camera is kind of neat since it can record both video and still pictures. However, I found that whenever I take still pictures if the subject is moving or I am moving even a little bit the image is blurred. In order to get a good image you must hold the camera steady for at least 3-5 seconds after taking the picture. So, If I had the option I would save my money and wait for about six months. There is bound to be something better right around the corner.
