Advantages: Small , Funky Styling, Cheap

Disadvantages: "Funky" Styling, Poor Quality

While I would agree with some of Tracy’s comments I feel she has been a little harsh in criticising this camera. Admittedly it has no flash, the reason I chose to upgrade mine, but for a first camera at a pretty low price it isn’t too bad. This is pretty much an ideal little camera for taking out places where you may be afraid to lose a more expensive model. Also it is simple to operate and does actually have a few useful features if you explore a little.

The first of these is a facility to take 20 shots in quick succession. Seems to work but haven’t used it much. The second is a self timer. It actually took me many months to realise it actually had one of these. The video is admittedly a bit poor. But it is quite a laugh to use for recording drunken antics before going out. If you have a microphone you can also record these with sound.

The main problem with this camera is its poor resolution, (I would never claim that the pics are crystal clear) and the lack of a flash. I have many pictures on my walls and hard drive from the little camera and would recommend it to those on a tight budget and who are not too worried about picture quality. For emailing and other general uses this little cam is pretty adequate.

This does have a tendency to get either laughed at or have people think its “cute”. You have been warned.

Overall an average but not horrendous pc camera.
