Advantages: Good Toy for the under 10's

Disadvantages: Too many to mention

I got my Digital Dream L'Esprit as part of a bundle with a new PC in December 2000. I thought at the time that this 'sounded' quite good as I had wanted a Digital Camera for some time. When I set up my PC and connected the camera I was very disappointed with the so called 'high quality' resolution. I like to dabble with photography and wanted something quick and easy to upload pics to my website - this product is NOT suitable for this task.

My husband laughed when I showed him the camera and asked if it was a child's toy... it looks like one! It is very small ...very cheap looking (as I beleive it is £30 -£40 retail) ... very poor quality!

When choosing my PC the salesmen bosted of the 3-in-1 digital camera included in the bundle.... there is no 3-in-1 that I would consider a selling point:

As a digital camera - it just does not make it - pictures too grainy and yucky to use for ANY purpose.

As a Webcam - no no no - Not good at all!

As for the 3rd function - I'll let you know if I ever find it!

I would not recommend that anyone shells out good money (at any price) for this TOY. The only use I have for it is when my nephews visit (aged between 3 and 8) to record little .exe files or .avi files. They seem pleased with the jumpy 'movie' they have recorded - one thing it true with this product - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Sadly the quality of 'free' peripherals included with PC's is always very low...

Ah well, at least your little nephews are getting some pleasure out of it, even though it makes rather an expensive toy!
