Review 1 of 12

Summary:

This was my introduction to digital photography. In the modern world of digital cameras, this one is terrible. The 'high' res mode is only 640x480, and looks too compressed and blurry, making the 320x240 mode better for normal use (but what use are images that size?). It is fun for a while but it soon becomes apparent that it isn't worth the money. Like other users, I had to return my unit due to faults. I was issued a replacement within a week, but now wish I could have got my money back instead. But this only if you can find it very cheap second hand, and don't care much for resolution or quality.

Strengths:

Very small (smallest around when it came out).

Weaknesses:

Short battery lifespan, takes too long to recharge, poor picture quality, unreliable, expensive.

Similar Products Used:

None

Customer Service:

Good.

Review 3 of 12

Summary:

Nice toy, but image quality, inability to store very many images, lack of removable storage, and the speed at which it consumes batteries make it impractical from my viewpoint. Later versions of the camera may be somewhat better.

Strengths:

Small size, macro feature, controls good

Weaknesses:

Eats batteries badly, rechargeable battery doesn't last long, resolution and image quality very limited

Similar Products Used:

none

Customer Service:

none

Review 4 of 12

Summary:

The camera takes too much time between photos (25-30 sec.) Any fluctuation in ac current will damage either the ac adapter or the base. Spare parts and servicing will in many instances be more costly than the camera itself
