I spent around $50 on this camera & it served it's purpose. It takes nice pictures in the right light & the camera software is nice too. If you just take pictures for fun, you'll enjoy this camera. There is also a small movie option, no sound & it runs about 30 seconds I think. When I tried to send this to family & friends, all I did was drag the movie file (in the uploaded software) into my outlook express... that is the easiest way I found it worked.
Here are some pictures that I took with the camera :O)

Although, it does have some downsides:

*Eats up batteries
*Doesn't take very good close ups
*There is a long delay after you push the button for your picture, Takes some work to make a toddler stand still long enough.
*And, you can only get about 9 to 14 quality pictures before you have to upload & empty to take more pictures again.


I just bought a new camera & I'll be selling mine on here soon at a cheap price, if you are interested, email me at hiltonqueen@iwon.com

Thanks

Including a lens cap would have been useful. It is very easy to scratch the exposed lens surface. The LCD is weak but the camera makes decent pictures. I bought it for my son's second digital camera (he was six at the time) and he loves it. Now we need a CF card to hold more images between shooting and downloading.

This camera ..

Bought this camera in about 3 months ago for around $5o; I guess the pictures are okay especially when there's adequate lighting (such as outdoors). The flash totally washes the pictures out (wouldn't recommend using unless it was really dark). LCD screen is small but it works. Unfortunately the camera is already defective - it only turns on half the time even with new batteries, but what do you expect for $5o.

The best 1 MP camera on the Market!

This Camera is AWESOME for a begginer digital Photographer and for kids. It has a bright LCD screen, many wonderful features, and awesome picture quality. The ACDsee system works quite well and the HP share to Web software is Excellent. This Camera is good for indoor and outdoor use. Also comes with a video recording system that-on the internal Memory-you can take 30 second videos WITHOUT sound. There is an SD memory card slot and many more features. GREAT VALUE!

I love taking pictures, it's well, you could say it's my hobby. Digital cameras are great because you can take millions of pictures and only pick out the few good ones. With this camera it really is few. Another thing is the late shot. This is definatly not one of those once in a life-time shot cameras, this is more of a, honey could you do that again? camera's because it takes three seconds to shoot after you push the button. It takes ok movies but they're choppy and have no sound. This is a good camera though and wouldn't betray it. But if you're looking for a camera with good, crisp pictures don't get this, this is a first-timers camera. Although i do admit, i have very much fun taking pictures of beautiful things with it. Really this is a 3 1/2 star camera.
