Price Paid: $100.00 from Argos

Summary:

This camera is great fun. Because of the low price you dont expect a great camera but this camera is clearly worth the money. I had mine for 2 years and the only problem was you could only delete the last photo taken

Strengths:

Clear LCD screen with easy to understand buttons. Easy to use software. Very handy because of its small size

Weaknesses:

Can only delete last photo taken

Similar Products Used:

HP digital 4.0

Customer Service:

Didn't need help because it was so simple and the camera did not have any problems

Review 4 of 13

Price Paid: $130.00

Summary:

I have used this camera for just over a year now. Throughout this year it has developed several faults. Firstly when trying to delete a picture the camera jumps to a picture it decides it wants to delete not the one you want to delete. This is a problem because with such a small memory, pictures that you dont want just fill the memory. The software that comes with the camera looks like it was designed for chrildren and is very slow. I am allways having problems downloading pictures from the camera. Also the camera may not be compatable with Windows XP.

Strengths:

Has a nice LCD for viewing the pictures. Has a flashing light on the front when using the self timer.

Weaknesses:

Pictures are over exposed, Pictures come out bright on the screen, Oftern pictures are blured or "soft", Takes a lot of battries (4), Eats the batteries.

Similar Products Used:

Various film cameras and a Kodak digital camera.

Customer Service:

Still waiting for reply!

Review 5 of 13

Price Paid: $250.00 from BIG W (Australia)

Summary:

The Camera features a Flash, 10 Second Timer, LCD Screen, 2MB Memory (Can store 15-18 MAX High Res, OR 50 MAX using low res. The high resolution is 640x480 and low is 320x240. The camera is good for a 8-9 year old.

Strengths:

Features handy Flash, LCD Screen, Option of choosing either low or high res.

Weaknesses:

The flash turns the photos completely white when you are too close to the subject. The camera does not work good at all in bright sunny conditions (The photos are over-exposed), you can only delete the last photo taken, the camera eats batteries like biscuits when the LCD Screen is used (4 of them!). I would not recommend this camera to anyone expecting good results. I would consider looking at something better (Like a Kodak). Screen is scratched extremely easily. Anoying sleep mode makes camera turn off after 30 seconds.
