2.0 out of 5 stars Impressive exterior, but extremely limited, December 27, 2003

This review is from: Bell and Howell BH-22 Digital Camera (Electronics)

I found this to be an extremely attractive camera -- small size, yet seems substantial. With the promise of USB and VGA-quality, this camera seemed like a sure thing. And when it came, I discovered features that I never expected, like a self-timer and a tripod mount.

Alas, the pictures are terrible. First off, the camera is only useful in bright light (forget any kind of indoor shot unless you can stand a very dark, red-tinged image -- which rules out webcam use); and no shot that we tried quite came in focus. Moreover, the software to transfer is awkward; the USB does not support mass storage (where the camera appears as another disk drive), instead you use the supplied program to manually download.

As much as I and my nine-year-old son wanted to like this camera, it has serious flaws and it's not worth even its rock-bottom price.
