Summary: WARNING! THIS CAMERA IS A LEMON!
Review: I bought this camera to take pictures for online auctions & ended up having to go back to getting regular film put on disks after WASTING TIME trying to get this digital camera working.What's worse is the COMPANY DOES NOT HELP!!The company wouldn't give me a toll-free number~Amazon did.No one picks up the phone at the company...You just get recording after recording while you are made to believe you are being connected to someone who will help.Emails to the company were answered with just links to their website, no personalized help.Then, when I thought I was about to get personalized help...the man never contacted me by email or phone!This camera may work on some other plane or planet...BUT THIS COMPANY SURE DOESN'T!!Unless you know everything there is to know about computers & digital cameras...DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME(or money)!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good images for a VGA sensor.
Review: I got one of these to play with a while back... One day it just froze up. The twain software that comes with it was very slow, and would often freeze in the middle of what it was doing. And when it was working, It wasn't even worth the money just for something to mess around with. I had to send it back... Now I learned my lesson - save up your money, and get something decent!

Summary: Good for a month or so, then it may die

Summary: Good images for a VGA sensor.
Review: I have had this about a week. The quality of the images is the best I have seen for a 640x480 imager. Details show up well. Colors are sort of grey, but reasonable.

Software it buggy -- disconnecting/reconnecting the USB cable with the camera on helps the twain software find the camera. I have not been able to get the PC-connected video camera feature to work, but basic image preview and transfer is fast with USB.

Battery life seems good though I am not previewing to a TV on battery power.
