Summary: I'm sorry to say this but this product is not worth it.
Review: This product is just not worth the money. Its from an unknown company. The pictures are really bad. You cant take an unblurred picture unless the flash is on. MP3 player on this thing is pretty cool until you have to turn it off to save battery. When you turn it back on the Mp3's dissapear! This product was an absolute waste of money. This is like a quicky cam. Do yourself a favor and buy from a KNOWN company like fuji, kodak, etc.

Summary: no so good
Review: this product sounds great and for the price i had to check it out..however it really failed to meet my expectations..the microphone quality for the voice recorder is horrible, not even worth using,and there is no external speaker so you have to hook up headphones to it.. there is no preview screen on the camera to view pictures, which was an important feature for me...i found the pictures to be stretched and of low quality when hooked up to my tv. after seeing this it wasnt even worth me hooking it up to my comp for the cam and mp3 player so i sent it back..this product may be cool for 20 bucks.

Summary: You Get What You Pay For
Review: While this gadget does what it says it will do, it falls short on several levels. First of all, when I bought it, I needed to download the Windows ME driver (a fix not indicated anywhere in the literature) - then it worked fine.I used it regularly as an MP3 player at the gym. Took it to Mexico with me on a vacation - it crashed. Came home - it worked! Go figure... One of the advantages of digital photography is being able to see you pictures immediately after you take them. For this camera, you'd better have a computer close by as there is no viewer window. One day when I took the camera out to use it, I discovered the tiny plastic hinge on the battery compartment door had broken (this is not the type of damage that some unknown person could have done - it was in a protective bag, just sitting on a shelf). I continued to use it holding the batteries in by hand when needed (ugh!). Now for the real disappointment - I purchased a new computer system using Windows XP, downloaded the driver from Pretec's site - no go. Camera won't work. Tried to contact tech support via the web - filled out their web form and - imagine this, when I hit "send" I got "Page not found" (after a couple of tries too). So, refusing to give up, I called their headquarters. The recording said they were open 9-5 Pacific time (oh well, it WAS only 8:54 Pacific - no point in getting there early I guess) and asked if I'd like to leave a message for tech support - I pushed the appropriate number and...GUESS WHAT? It wouldn't take my message because THE TECH SUPPORT BOX WAS FULL! I wonder why.... This was a regrettable purchase.

Summary: Not bad, but not great
Review: You can't really hold this camera in your hand and take a picture because it will turn out too blurry. But if you place it on a tripod or flat surface it works allright. People don't realize that for everyday pictures 640x480 is pretty sharp. There's a 20 second timer which is also great and the video out is convenient enough (there's no way to preview window on the camera). The MP3 player works well, and I have minimal complaints with the voice recording (what can you expect for [the price]). It's poor sound quality and the mic is a pinhead sized hole on the camera. There were some problems using as an internet camera in NetMeeting where the picture started bleeding and there were artifacts in the display as if the update was too slow, but again in a pinch it's not terrible. All told I'm glad I got it. I'll take a picture or two with it and play music on it while I commute or walk around. I can't really speak about battery drainage either. I'm trying to find an AC adapter for it.
