Summary: Don't be so hard on this freebie
Review: I have been using this little camera (also free with a PC purchase) and have had 0 problems with it. Obviously, it's a 1.3MP camera, so what kind of quality do you think you're getting? For a novice digital camera person taking non-action shots, this is fine. I have been very pleasantly surprised at the quality of outdoor shots (indoor shots turn out okay, but close-ups are poor quality - don't use that feature, a button on the side). The size is one of the best features of it - it's tiny! I can take 30 pics at a time, and since I always have a laptop close by, so downloading these and clearing the cache is no problem for me. The software installs really easily, and the interface is very user-friendly. It takes AAA batteries which is great. There's no viewer, but this is still a good value unit. [I would say it's easily worth about $50-$60]

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: I received this free with a PC purchase. The pictures it takes are so bad even my 8 year old daughter is embarassed to email them out. I'm currently trying to think of someone I dislike enough to give it to.

Summary: Not a bad little camera
Review: This isn't a bad camera for taking simple pictures outside or inside. I have made many great pictures with it without wasting film from a regular camera. The drawbacks are 1) if you use the flash the pictures comes out almost completely washed out and if it's dark so that you need a flash, you ain't gonna get the picture you want; 2) there's no LCD display so you don't know what your picture looks like until you get home to download it on the computer; 3) you can't tell how much memory is left to know how many more pictures you can take before downloading. I got this camera as a gift. I have no idea what it cost.
