Nice Paper Specs...

by nad_masters Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Oct 25 '04
Pros: Compact size, native 2.0 mega pixel resolution, flash, cheap, comes with tripod
Cons: LCD only, short battery life, turns off often (flaw?), interpolated 3.1 mega pixel rating
One look at it's size and specs...and then price...will make you skeptical at what it can do. I am talking about, of course, the bold 3.1 mega pixel rating, the small-cell-phone size, and the unbelievable $120 price tag. Once you get over this and ...

Nice

by mayene_deleon , Nov 17 '04
Pros: 16MB internal memory plus expandable slot, audio video capability, compact, flash (see edit on flash)
Cons: digital (not optical) zoom
After reading the first two reviews on this camera (given 2 stars each), I was quite surprised, because here I am, about to give the camera 4 stars; but of course, I'm no professional photographer or anything close to an expert regarding cameras and ...

Small, cute, but not for real use

by mdnunes , Jun 29 '04
Pros: Price, size, movie frame rate
Cons: Movie quality, takes AAA batteries
This camera is very portable, which makes it very convenient. The combination of its low price (I paid $120) and its above-average specifications for its price and size made it a very attractive purchase. However, after using it for just 3 days I'm ...

Webcam on Steroids.

by awilson430 , Aug 14 '04
Pros: Small but powerful; Reasonable quality photos and movies; Easy to use
Cons: Picture quality is good but not great
If you're looking for a web cam that can be used away from your computer, that can take still pictures and up to 2 minutes of movies with audio (sounds awesome doesn't it?) then you'll probably like this little camera. If you're looking for a ...

Great Spare Digital for Fun Events

by mdawnj , Oct 27 '04
Pros: Tiny, good strobe flash, decent 4x6, 5x7 prints, software, amateur video feature
Cons: no optical zoom, so-so fluorescent lighting photos, battery life
True, this digital camera is not the best quality as those 4mp and 5mp cameras coming out, but if you spend a little time reading the directions (why don't people do this?), you can get great photos, even as large as 8x10. If you are a photography ...

Great for the price
by flooby ,Mar 23 '08
Pros: Low cost, good performance, good dynamic range, good depth of field,long battery life
Cons: Display gets "washed out" in very bright light, hard to see the frame counter.
I bought one of these specifically for hacking it as a time-lapse camera. I paid $19 for a refurbished camera.

As a hackable cam it is very easy to deal with - apply power (and it isn't too fussy anything from 2.5-4.5 volts is fine) and it comes up ready to take pictures with the feature settings you last put in (like resolution, flash on/off)

They sort of imply that the largest memory card it will use is a 512 MB card for ~900 pictures maximum, but I'm well over 1000 into a 1 GB card - only downside is it seems to take longer for a picture to go into memory as the card fills up.

Picture quality is surprisingly good. Easily as good as my old HP camera that cost me ~$200 7 years ago. I'd definitely recommend it. Batteries last a very long time (my hacked version can take 1,000 pictures over four days on one set of 3 rechargeable AA size batteries, so 2 AAA alkaline batteries should last well over 600 pictures). I doubt there is any CCD camera that can make that claim.
