Customer Review: Oh what crap!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: blurry, bad interface, bad battery contact
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I didn't expect much from this camera, and was still very disappointed. It's not even remotely usable.
The plastic lens makes for really blurry fisheye pictures, with only the center area vaguely recognizable. It also scratches easily, so don't think about putting this on your keychain. The lens has a tendency to pop off. Obviously the pictures are low res, but that's to be expected at this price point.
The battery contacts are flimsy, and bouncing around in your pocket causes the battery to lose it's connection. The camera resets randomly and you lose all your pictures. Fun!
The interface is obtuse and cryptic--only a 2 digit lcd and you have to interpret what the weird symbols mean for controlling it.
Save your money and get something else of a little higher quality. This bargain is too cheaply made to be useful.
Customer Review: Caveat Emptor
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
We wanted a camera for our 4-year-old and my husband talked me out of getting something sturdier and $20 more expensive, not to mention more age-appropriate. Right out of the box, he admits he made a mistake (thereby making itself worth every penny, thank you). You have no way to see what picture you're taking, except through a lilliputian window. There's no digital panel to show you your shot.
It took way too much fiddling and jiggering to get it to take a few fuzzy, black-and-white pics before it went on to the Big Photo Lab in the Sky. Its carcass made for a fun toy to toss around and play at taking photos until it was made to disappear by the Recycling Fairy.
Naturally, this is somehow my fault for agreeing to the whole thing. Now you know.

I bought one of these a while back. I didn't expect it to be have the performance of a more deluxe model, but I figured it was an inexpensive way to get used to digital photography.
I had no trouble installing the software, but the camera itself wouldn't work on my system (I have XP professional). In fact, the system had to do some error correction. I went to the web page to see if there was updated software to make the camera compatible with my system -- and I had to subscribe to some online stuff in order to get it -- and even then, I didn't know if it would work.
I am now saving up my pennies for a better digital camera. And I'm just glad that it didn't damage my system.
Caveat emptor -- let the buyer beware!
Customer Review: Definite piece of garbage!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I recieved this camera from my parents as a Christmas gift the day before yesterday. At first, I thought it was a cool camera, being small & all.. When I tried using it though, I was very disappointed. There was no flash, so I had to make my own lighting just to take pictures indoors. When I did take pictures, the picture came out HORRIBLE! The picture quality was the worst that I had seen, & this was from a supposedly hi resolution picture.
If anyone even thinks of getting this camera, I advise you not to. The price might be great, but the camera isn't.
