Summary: A rather shoddy product
Review: I really can't believe all the other positive reviews about this product. Apparently they've never used a REAL digital camera. Admittedly, the price is cheap. But so's the quality. The image quality is really bad, even for the low resolution. There's no zoom. There's no preview screen, and you can't delete bad shots. It eats through batteries like wildfire. The images aren't stored in a standard format, so you can only download them through the camera, not through a MMC reader. Now that wouldn't be so bad, but unfortunately, the JamCam software is quite unstable and crashes often during the download, which means that if you have more than about 40 images on one card, you'll never manage to get them out. Overall, I can only recommend you to stay away from this camera unless you really only need a toy for your kids.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!!
Review: This is a lousy camera, even for the price! It drains alomst an entire battery with 8 pictures. Do not buy this under any circumstances!

Summary: Pretty Good for the Price...
Review: The JamCam's photo isn't exceptional but is handy for taking pictures about the house for most purposes. The cameras options are easy to manuever after a few uses. The software that comes was rather pesky, but it's not a huge drawback, it works. I don't what another was talking about that it ate batteries. I've stilll got the originasl battery in it after about 30 pictures. Over all it's a good buy.

Review: WOW! What a waste of time and money. I purchased the Jamcam 3.0 through the HomeShopping Network. The pictures I took looked like they were taken through a plastic bag. When I tried to enlarge them to 100% they got even worse, But I did notice that the smaller they were, they got better. But then they were too small to see what they actually were. I can't imagine anyone wanting to email or print pictures from the Jamcam3.0 let alone use the special effects to frame them. You would need advanced special effects to make the pictures clear and worth while. I wouldn't even give this to a child to use. Thanks for allowing me to express my thoughts... Now I have to take the time and hassel to return it.

Summary: You get what you pay for.
Review: For an under $100 digital camera, the JamCam 3.0 is an OK toy. Since I use Windows 2000, I had a small problem getting the camera to work initally (a problem installing the software). A call to KB Gear's tech support solved the problem. Unlike most "tech support" calls, this one was actually answered by a REAL PERSON who ACTUALLY KNEW how to solve the problem (and I didn't have to wait on hold, either!). I give KB Gear's tech support a SOLID FIVE STARS. As far as the performance of the camera itself, I would say it is fair. Not poor, not good, just fair. The camera doesn't handle low light situations well (even with the flash). The camera seems to have a very low number of bits per pixel. Although the camera shoots at 640 x 480, each pixel seems to be (my guess) 4 or 5 bit color depth. This causes the image to seem grainy. The TWAIN driver included with the camera is not very mature and it crashed a few times. The camera draws power from the 9 volt battery at an amazing rate. By the time you get the software installed, shoot up a few test pictures and download them to the computer, you will need a new battery. In conclusion, if you just want to shoot quick pictures for your online auctions, this camera is fine. It's also fine as a kids camera. If you want to take family or vacation pictures, this isn't the camera for you.

Summary: Don't bother with this camera.
Review: I got this camera for my wife how just wanted to take pictures of the kids and send them to her sister. After looking around a bit and seeing that this is on of the editor's pics, I picked on up at the local store. I couldn't refuse the $30 rebate and free 8meg card either. Well, I got home and put in the 16 meg card I bought and put in a brand new battery. Took 3 pictures at 640 x 480 and the battery was dead (this was brand name battery just bought that day). So I put in another battery, take 3 more pictures and again...battery was dead. I repeat this one more time and got 8 pictures out of 3 batters. Now I can see why this camera is so cheap. After getting fustrated with wasting battery's I hook the serial cable up to my computer, install the software and drivers. Follow the directions they give you in there 5 page booklet and the software tell's me to hook up the camera or check to see if the camera has power. I check the connection's and power both good. Still no go. I also tried the USB cable that it came with (another reason I went with this camera) installed everyting (on my work PC) and still nothing. After playing with it for over an hour and almost having to reinstall windows 98, I'm still unable to get it to work. Needless to say I will be taking the camera back tomorrow for a full refund.

Summary: Go for something better.
Review: The old cliche that you get what you pay for makes another apperance with this digital camera. Although the specs look OK and the pricetag looks excellent, the reality is that unless you're in an office-setting (regarding the lighting and general distance the camera will have to deal with) the camera performs very poorly. It's a great teenager camera (which is obviously the entire point from just looking at the camera packaging itself and the name) because it's cheap and it does the job, but if you're looking for any pictures from your trip to France that you can look at 10 years from now and sigh over with your kids, this is not the camera. Under no circumstances have I found it to be good taking outdoor pictures, no matter the lighting. The camera also reacts poorly to colored lighting (like house lamps). Great birthday present for your 16 year old, but if you want real pictures, I look elsewhere.

Summary: JamCam has Multimedia Card Problems
Review: I own a JamCam 3.0. It can write but not read all photos on a 32MB MultimediaCard -- it times out downloading and the camera shuts off after 100 photos. Also, it uses a proprietary format which is not compatible with USB card readers such as the MicrotechInt ZiO MMC USB card reader. Other than that, it is a good, rugged, cheap camera. Just don't buy a 32MB MMC card or ZiO reader to use with this camera.

Summary: Pretty Cool
Review: Hi. I'm 14 and I got a JamCam for Christmas. It isn't exactly the best possible quality digital camera, but it takes pretty good pictures for the price. I would recommend it for amatures and for anyone who just wants to take some pictures for fun. Another thing that I found, however, was that to take a really good picture inside or anywhere you would probably want to use the flash. Otherwise the picture will come out a little fuzzy. So I just wanted to recommend this camera and give a bit of advice. It was one of the best gifts I got this year. Parents, if your kids or teens like taking pictures and even more than that love using the computer, BUY THIS FOR THEM!!

Summary: Better than I expected
Review: I bought this camera basically for taking snapshots that I could email to friends and incorporate into digital home movies edited on iMovie. I purchased a 32 MB MMC card and can shoot 130 pictures with it. I got the camera right before the Christmas holidays and probably shot 400-500 pictures in ten days. Of that number, about 25% were overexposed, too dark, blurred, or weirdly pixilated. The rest of the pictures came out suprisingly clear, and I ended up keeping about 100 really good snapshots (and didn't have to pay $$$ for film processing). For a toy camera marketed to email-savvy teens, I'm pretty impressed. The software package and USB connection couldn't be easier to use (except when you download 130 pictures onto your computer, it requires a huge amount of memory). I may upgrade to a more expensive digital camera someday, but for now I love my dopey little Jam Cam.
