Quirky mini camera

By Rico

from Boston, MA on 12/7/2007

Pros:

Strong Construction

Cons:

Poorly written manual

Best Uses:

"If" it works, Fun

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Following instructions, it seems to hang my computer when the "USB" appears on small LCD display. Holding down the shutter again, it changes to PC and then the computer sees the camera as a hard drive, which you can then access. However, no photos are listed in camera's folder - and I know I shot some...

Hangs my computer every time!

By ewells from Natick, MA on 12/7/2007

Pros:

Strong Construction

Cons:

Autorun runs nonstop, Hangs Windows Explore

Best Uses:

Fun

Describe Yourself:

Professional

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

As a pro digital photographer, I can assure readers I know the technologies of both digital cameras and computers. This little camera, although a cute idea, consistently creates a problem when first connected via the USB port: A folder window opens called "Autoplay" as if it's searching for something... and continues searching non-stop. As soon as the camera is physically disconnected the Autoplay folder/window disappears. Sorry, but I would have to deem this little guy rather worthless. Don't waste your money!

A Fine Choice for a Micro-Camera!

Pros:

Comfortable Controls, Easy Setup, Takes a photo every time

Cons:

Mini-camera resolution.

Best Uses:

Fun

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A super micro-camera. Resolution is limited, but it takes minimal attention to always get reasonable photos. In my ongoing research project on tiny cameras, this is by far the best to date.

Tiny Digital Camera

By historicalwildernessnut

from Moon Township, PA on 8/24/2007

Pros:

Easy to Use, Fast Shutter Speed, Nice Features and Settings

Cons:

Not Good In Low Light

Best Uses:

Home, Outdoors

Describe Yourself:

Casual user

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is my first digital camera .... I love it!

It doesn't have a flash, so it doesn't work too well in low light; you can fix it with the photo editing software that comes with it, however, and come up with a pretty good picture!

Pictures taken in good light came out very well.

Very easy to use .. helps that there are few buttons to play with.
Manual actually makes sense!!!
Easy to keep battery charged, as long as a computer is around to plug it into.

Haven't tried video at this point in time.
