 Oh what crap! August 6, 2008
PH (New York, NY)
I got this thing for free and I'm STILL pissed.
The first time I used it, I was just farting around with it so that I could understand it. I took about 3 pics. I managed to download the pics to my PC. Oh yes, the pics were crap, but what did I want? As I said, it was FREE.
But imagine my surprise when I went to use the camera a few days later for real and the battery was already dead.
Luckily, I had a spare AAA battery, so I put it in, and was ready to roll.
My new AAA battery lasted longer than the little cheap one that came in the package, so I thought I was happy. But then my knitting teacher took pictures of me in the glorious things that I made. I got home to transfer the pics, and the software was now denying that there were any pics on the camera!
The camera had not lost power this time, and the counter was down to only 10 pics, so I know the pics were taken, but they were not!
Then I took a few pics just to test it. The thing beeped and whirred ever so slightly, but again no pics!
I rebooted my PC, and still no pics!
The moral of the story is that since I put in time to learn how to use the thing, to take pics, load the software, and try to download everything, that it wasn't even worth it though it was free.
 Execrable Camera, Adequate Webcam July 30, 2008
fredtownward (Palatine, Illinois United States)
This is one lousy, INSANELY overpriced digital camera. The still images even at what is laughingly called "high resolution" are poor, and unless you are taking pictures in direct sunlight at close range, not worth the effort, and the video images are no better. There is no LCD screen so you cannot see what you've got until you upload to a computer. There is no "backup" battery so you lose everything stored if you change batteries or allow the battery to die, which can easily happen because the camera is a real battery hog, even when switched off. (Note: if the battery is too weak to even turn the camera on, you MIGHT be able to save any pictures on it by connecting to a computer before the battery finishes dying; it's worth a try.) Finally, the belt loop tore off the included carrying case scant HOURS after I looped my belt through it.
So why the 3 stars? Because this camera does ONE thing well: it is a reasonably adequate webcam. Oh, it isn't adjustable like a REAL webcam, but it is light enough to Velcro to your monitor. You will need a separate microphone unless you choose this model: Digital Concepts Spy Shot Digital Camera, Voice Recording-PC-Web-Video Clips, as yet untested, which should obviate the need for a separate mike.
There are literally dozens of different cameras sold under dozens of different labels but obviously of the same design to choose from; choose the cheapest price you can find. $50 ought to be a felony, but the $2 I paid on clearance made them the perfect gifts for technophobic relatives to get them started making free Internet video calls. Once they're hooked, they can upgrade to something better like this: Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000.
Note: due to the high battery drain even when hooked up to a computer, I recommend removing the battery until just before you are ready to use it and then removing the battery as soon as possible afterwards, which means after uploading whatever you've shot when NOT using it as a webcam.
Awful pictures!!!!!! May 16, 2008
J. Ramos (WA)
I paid $5 for it + $5 for the shipping, it was a waste of money!!!!!!!
Not worth it March 14, 2008
Yeh Hsin-hwei Hsieh (CA, USA)
It bought the same camera at Walgreens for $10 and it is not even worth that amount. The photos come out extremely hazy and small. The pictures are worse than the ones on my cameraphone. And there is no little LCD screen for you to see what you are taking a picture of.
DON'T BUY! March 9, 2008
Pickles
I warn you, this camera is a waste of money. it does take up to 247 pictures, but those are low resolution and compressed. It only takes 20 high resolution pictures (which still are bad and fuzzy). AND THAT'S IT! NO MORE! And nowhere in the manual or on the page does it say that.
