Summary: Big fun, little money
Review: After reading mixed reviews I wondered what I would get. Purchased this item for [price] at the local Target, took it home, snapped some shots and downloaded (USB) 3 pictures in less than 1 minute. Close shots (3-6 ft) are great! Longer distances w/flash are somewhat fuzzy. Did not even have to use the flash indoors to get good results. For my use this is a great buy and a great entry into the world of digital cameras. (Note: I'm using a Mac, not that it should make a difference)

Summary: Buyers Beware!
Review: My daughters were each given a Jam Cam 2.0 last summer. We were unable to get either to operate despite all attempts by ourselves, very computer-savvy friends and calls to tech support. By the time we gave up it was too late for returns or exchanges. I wrote the company's corporate AND consumer relations offices to explain our predicament. It has now been months without so much as an acknowledgement of our letters. Given KB Gear's utter disregard and lack of meaningful support I feel compelled to discourage purchase any of their products!!!

Summary: The BEST CHEAP digicam u can buy
Review: I just got the JAMCAM 3.0 in the mail today. WOW! It's really cool. This cam has the most features u can get for a less than 100$ digicam (Multimedia card expansion- i also bought a 28MB MMC so now i can keep about 120 pictures in the best quality, USB connection-really fast, and really easy to use). The picture Quality is really cool(except for indoor pictures- when it uses flash the object needs to be far away or get washed out and when it doesn't use flash the colors come out strange. That is the case in indoor only). GET THIS CAM if you are into gadgets or want to buy it to your kid. I am 19 yrs old and love it. Amazing huh?

Summary: Stay away
Review: Not wanting to commit to a $300 camera purchase, I tried this as an interim solution just so I could take digital pictures. It seriously has some problems. I could not get this working under windows 2000, even though there is a limited FAQ on their page that says it will work with it, though I still had some problems. I mailed support, told them that I've read the FAQ, did everything, still getting this message, and they respond to me w/ cut and paste off the FAQ. I also had some problems geting it to work under windows 98 through the native USB interface, but after it installs like 8 software packages one of them could talk to the camera. Then I finally saw my picture. It came out so awful I seriously can't even describe it. Like 16 color, scaled up pixellated image that made me howl. Anyway, I was expecting it to be a low quality, fun, yet workable camera, and it was so far below that. Stay away!

Summary: It's better than I expected for the price
Review: I was looking for [an inexpensive] digital camera for posting to web based auctions. Well, this is about as [inexpensive] as it gets. Yes, the OEM battery won't last a day, but the good one I bought has lasted for 3 dozen pictures *and* downloads and is still going. If you're looking for something to use like a *real* camera, buy something else. If you want to email pictures to friends or post pictures on an auction site, this camera will work until you want to spend enough money for a real digital camera.

Summary: On a tight budget? This camera is perfect for you!
Review: If you are wanting a digital camera & are working with a tight budget this is the camera for you. This camera is pretty basic point & shoot. It is very easy to use. For a lower resolution type camera the picture quality isn't bad. My uses are for web pages & emails & for the kids to have fun with. It's perfect for my needs. It only stores 8 hi resolution pictures or 28 lo resolution, so I highly reccomend that you buy a Multimedia card. I got a 32mb card & it holds 130 pictures on hi res & 443 on low. The camera works best outdoors, or indoors if you have lots of light, The closer you are to your object the better. It takes a 9v battery & one of my concerns was how long it would last. I'm on my second battery now & have taken at least 300 pictures. The software included is very easy to use. If you've read other reviews about the problems with the drivers they have taken care of this & the updated software will be on your disc, it was on mine. I called cust. service about the brands of mmc you can use & they took approx 15 seconds to answer the phone. That's incredible! I'm used to waiting forever! The camera does work with other mmc cards not just sandisc. I got a Simple technology card for about 1/2 the price & it works great! shop around & you can get a steal on the mmc card! The camera is basic, but for the price it can't be beat!!!

Summary: JUNK JUNK JUNK
Review: I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. After 6 months I wish I would have spent my money on a real camera. I bought 2 rechargable batteries and a charger. A 16 meg card so she could take more pictures. Just try and download them. The USB only works on some computers. The other cord takes about an hour or so to download. So I bought a card reader at 50 dollars. Didn't work at all. So I bought another card reader like the one I have for my camera. The ZIO It didn't work either. The problem is that this camera doesn't compress the pictures. No card reader will work that I know of. Now I have two hundred dollars worth of junk. I wish I would have spent the money on a real camera.

Summary: KB Gear JamCam
Review: I've had the JamCam now for about a month and it performs as well as you would expect a $50 digital camera to perform. Actually, it takes pretty good pictures and are wonderful for e-mail or posting to a web site.The one complaint I have is that I could'nt use a MMC (multi media card) reader. Something about "proprietary format", which I don't know much about. I have to say though, My batteries are still going strong and I've downloaded about 250 pictures using the usb cable. All in all You can't beat the price. I would recomend it as a good camera to keep in the car. One more thing. Get a 16MB memory card to go with it. It increases your max photos to 69 in high resolution.

Summary: Not compatible with some models of Compaq Presario
Review: This camera is NOT compatible with some models of Compaq Presario. Although mine, which runs Win 98, is NOT the one mentioned at their website, it didn't work. I spent more than 1 hour talking to customer service (very friendly, but it's NOT a toll-free number!) and they didn't have a clue about it. I had to return the camera just a few days after I got it. I can say you run out of batteries pretty fast: I took only a couple of pictures (about 8, the maximum capacity without extra memory) and the indicator was already in the middle. Even if the camera works for you, download the newest drivers from their site and you can get free extra memory.
