5.0 out of 5 stars I bought two!, March 14, 2002

This is a nice little camera for the price. I bought one for my niece last Christmas. Not having any previous experience with digital cameras, I really didn't know what to expect. We used, and experimented with it on New Years Eve, taking pictures and short movies, and we were very pleased with the results. When I noticed that Amazon[.com] had it on sale, I bought one for myself. The software and USB cable that come with the camera work just fine for starters, but I prefer to use the Compact Flash card (I have a 128 meg), a reader, and my own photo editing software. I would recommend getting a battery charger with at least four AA batteries (this camera uses two). True, there is no LCD display for photo preview, but I never needed one on my film camera, so it's no big deal to me. Although the camera is easy to use, the indicator icons on the LCD display are VERY tiny and may take some getting used to. Other features of this camera are video output for viewing photos on TV, (cable included), web cam, tripod mount, self-timer, and flash with two modes. This camera is compact, and easily fits in a shirt pocket. I would recommend it to the occasional user who wants to try digital photography, but not ready to shell out big bucks.

2.0 out of 5 stars 2 out of 2 Eye-Q 1300s were defective, December 18, 2001

The first one I bought seemed to function OK, except the viewfinder was way off. The captured image could be up, down, left, or right (or any combination thereof). The inaccuracy was so bad and so random as to render the camera useless. I exchanged it. The second one had a more accurate viewfinder. However, it took so long for the flash to charge up, the automatic power-off feature would shut off the camera before the flash was ready. I tried new batteries, but got no improvement. Price, software, cables & accessories, instructions, etc., is all great (hence, the 2 stars). Unfortunately, the camera itself is useless. Two bad examples is hardly a trend. On the other hand, you only get one chance to make a first impression, and I'm done with Concord.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!, January 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Concord EyeQ 1300 Digital Camera (Electronics)

I received this camera as a birthday gift. I have yet to get it to work on my computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver several times and I still cannot view the pictures on my PC. The tech support website is no help at solving the problem except to tell you what you already know. The editing software is great, but unfortunately I have not been able to use it. The other drawbacks to this camera are that it drains batteries like crazy and you cannot see the pictures until you load them into your computer. The flash takes so long to load that by the time it finally comes on, the picture-taking opportunity has passed. If I could actually get this camera to upload pictures to my computer, I might consider upgrading my rating to two stars.
