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!
