Summary: Great camera for beginners, but batteries beware!
Review: "~I recieved this camera today and although it's my first venture into digital imagery, I was taking and viewing pictures in 15 minutes. The sofware is fun and easy to use. The camera takes wonderful pictures and the LCD is true to life. I especially like the USB hookup which is great for me since I am using this camera with a superslim laptop. and the batteries provided with the camera are dead. I am on my way tomorrow to get rechargeables and suggest you do the same before you receive this camera if you plan on using it for more than 12 pictures on the first day.

Summary: Beautiful, but only briefly
Review: After my old Kodak at work gave up the ghost, I read some reviews, including yours, and decided on the Agfa CL30. Shortly after installing the software in the computer and connecting the camera, the batteries got very hot and it ceased working permanently. The first (and only) pictures I took were of far greater quality than my old digital camera. In other words, while it was working, I was very pleased. But obviously, there are some quality problems

Summary: Unbelievably great features, but eats batteries.
Review: After searching fruitlessly for months for this camera's cheaper little brother, the ePhoto 780c, I decided to spend the extra $100 and get this one instead. I'm happy I made the choice-- this camera has MUCH higher resolution, a very nice in-camera user interface (it's remarkably easy to set the focus and flash and step through your pictures on the camera's LCD screen)and great connectivity features-- it handles CompactFlash memory nicely, and has both serial and USB (the BEST! ) connection options. I easily hooked it up to both my PC and my Mac; it's a snap.

There's only one problem, and it's a big one: this guy gobbles batteries like crazy. If you're using the flash and LCD viewfinder to frame your pictures, expect to burn through a set of 4 AA batteries in about 35 minutes. Using the optical viewfinder and remembering to use the flash judiciously (this camera handles low light well, even without the flash) will extend battery life, but even so, you'll only get about 3-4 hours of life out of each set of batteries, MAX. The solution is to get a set or three of NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries and a charger; particularly, if you're getting this camera as a gift, throw the batteries and charger in! Once you've got those, you've got one dynamite little camera.

Summary: Battery Hog
Review: I bought an $80 camera to start off with and the resolution was sooo bad that i returned it. I thought that i would never but a digital camera again. I found this one, read a few reviews and decided it couldnt hurt to try it out. Well the one and only picture i could take with the batteries that they sent me was awsome. The only 2 things i would sugjest purchasing with this camera would be 8 nickel metal hydride batteries(which are rechargable, so get a recharger also) and buy at least a 16 meg compactflash card so you can take more then 12 good pictures before downloading. Once you get these goods the camera really rock n rolls.

Summary: You'll like it.
Review: I got this little camera yesterday as my Christmas present. This little camera has a really adorable looking. After playing it for about 3 hours. I got the idea of it. Both the advantage and defection are pretty obvious. The advantage is that it has lots of fancy features and can take really crisp pictures. And it is easy to use as well. The usb port is awesome, super fast and easy to get used to. The defections, huh, are kinda unreasonable. There is no cover on the lens. You have to take very good care of the lens. Other wise, you know... And it is a real batteries-eating dinosaur. You'd better get some rechargeable batteries or you gotta be buried by batteries. After all, it is a great camera for the price. You'll like it.

Summary: A flat-chest pretty babe
Review: I love this camera. I used to be doubting on my purchase before it arrived because some other models sounds pretty attractive too, but now I am pleased with it. The features are great, some of which should belong to more expensive ones. The usb interface kick the hell out of serial's. That's a real kick. It is very easy to take a high quality snapshot. The picture seems really nice to me. The sad stuff about the camera is it eats batteries like a horse. My brand new 4 AA batteries were sucked in 30 mins. I couldn't quite figure out where in the world the energy had been gone to. I am gonna buy some rechargeable batteries to kill this problem. Oh, ha, no underwear for the lens. You'd better not touch it. Anyway, it is a very nice little cutey. I like it a lot.

Summary: USB, Mega-Pixel,Compact Flash
Review: I thought it was a mistake when a friend told me about he features this camera had at this price. This is my second camera, my first being a Vivitar vivicam 2700 (which I paid $349. for) Which was very difficult to hook up and download pictures. This AGFA with its USB connection could not have been easier. And the picture quality! My Vivitar was 640x480 this is better than twice as good! Thanks

Summary: Nice camera
Review: My husband and I received the AFGA CL30 digital camera as a Christmas gift and we have really enjoyed using it. It's a really great camera. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the lithium batteries don't last that long when you're viewing the pictures on the screen. Other than that, the camera is great!
