Summary: Barely adequate "Brownie..."
Review: Think of this as your first Kodak Brownie film camera you owned, but with worse picture quality, and you won't be far off. It's OK for as a very first camera for kids (5-year-olds think it's fun), but don't expect it to rock their world... with no LCD screen, much of the fun of digital photography is missing.

Summary: A Great Camera
Review: This camera is extremely lightweight, will fit in a compact camera bag or purse, runs for 5 to 7 hours on 3 AAA alkaline batteries, takes wide-angle pictures with sharp beautiful color and records 1 minute Quicktime-Movies at 20 fps at 160 x 120. Compact Flash slot compatible with many cards and stores a lot. Handles outdoors, indoors, flourescent, you-name-it lighting without having to use a flash. The CD has Quicktime. Mac/Windows software can install in German, French, Spanish, or Portuguese. Comes with all cables and has a video out jack to view on the TV. Inkjet Pictures print out nicely at 4 x 6" on Target's Coated Photo Stock Paper. Commerical lab prints grainy. Relatives are thrilled to see themselves on TV. Since the camera is a fixed wide-angle lense the movies come out pretty sharp and has been relatively non-threatening for my friends who have never used a video camera. [For sound I use a mini-disc recorder.] All in all a great price. Bravo!

Summary: Nice Surprize!
Review: This is the first digital camera I've even used, let alone bought. I looked around for one for a very long time. I was quite surprized when I got it. I just popped in the batteries and clicked away! Close up pictures aren't good, but it's a nice little camera. EXCELLENT for the beginner!!!
It arrived sooner than I was told it would, sot that was a nice suprize, too. It didn't come with the "CF Flash Card" or the batteries, but so far I haven't needed the flash card. You're supposed to be able to change the settings to enable the camera to store more photos, but I haven't been able to make it change from the "Fine" setting, but so far it hasn't been a problem.
All in all, I'm VERY happy with this camera! It also fits nicely in an old camera case I have. I don't see myself using my old camera, which requires film. For the price, and the quality, you can't go wrong with this camera!!!

Summary: good for kids
Review: we got this because my son wanted a camera for his 10th birthday. rather than deal with film and the hassle of developing we bought this. our only complaints are that it is difficult to view the pictures on the tv or on the computer, there is no real manual on how to do it. other than that, the pictures are fine the flash is large enough and it's already been dropped off the roof and into the pool and still works fine. tough construction. a good beginning camera for children.
