Digital Concepts Rubberized Digital Camera

My son received this camera for Christmas and that day we lost pictures twice and the camera would not take pictures consistantly. We waited for the camera to be off before removing the batteries to change them because the camera wouldn't take pictures but maybe every 4th\5th\6th... try. To only find out that when the camera was turned back on all the pictures (32) my son had taken were gone! Bad choice even for the price.

I bought this for my 5-year-old son. It's cute and fits nicely in his hands, but it drains two AAA batteries while turned off, in a matter of 2 days! It doesn't matter if they're rechargeable or not...it won't work when you come back to it more than a day after replacing or recharging the batteries. And since it holds the photos in its built-in flash memory only as long as there's battery power, any photos not already downloaded are lost.

Picture quality is okay if there's enough light, considering it's a cheap camera, and although it doesn't have a flash it does have a helpful feature where it gives a long beep and doesn't take a shot when the light is too low, thereby saving you time and wasted memory. Obviously, though, I'm going to return this camera due to the battery problem, so its positive aspects will go unappreciated.
