4.0 out of 5 stars These Other Reviewers are Rediculous!, December 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Creative Labs CardCam Value (Electronics)

I figured somebody should give this camera a decent review to balance out the extremely unrealistic negative reviews.
This is a TWENTY DOLLAR CAMERA PEOPLE!!!! Did you REALLY expect to get professional quality photos from it for TWENTY BUCKS????

I think this camera works perfect for what it costs. It takes very good photos for the incredibly low price. I bought this for my nephew to have fun with and mess around taking fun pics with friends and the photos look good. Granted you wouldn't print any or use this camera for important or special events you want to capture , you'd have to spend a lot more money for that type of camera. I have a very nice 600.00 camera for exactly that!

I wish people would stop reviewing products with thier extremely unrealistic expectations. If you seriously cared about getting great photos with a digital camera, you'd spend the money and buy a higher end camera.
Not spend a measly 20 bucks and expect superior quality. I suggest learning even a tiny bit about digital cameras before buying one and definitely before reviewing one and THEN you would probably realize you got a great camera for the money it cost.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cute and works, but the photos ..., March 21, 2003

This review is from: Creative Labs CardCam Value (Electronics)

I got this camera because I wanted a cheap way of taking photos of some items I own for online auctions. My plan was to take photos of only static objects in well-lit areas so I wouldn't have to worry about the quality of the resulting pictures. Unfortuntely, the quality of photos ended up being so poor that no amount of photoshop editing could help and I ended up returning the product.

It's definitely a cute camera and it feels and handles beautifully, unfortunately, it fails at its main purpose, which is taking at least decent (or at least recognizeable) images. A better choice is to save up some cash and get one of the neat digital Elphs by Canon (great quality photos, cute and slick, and handles great).

This camera's picture quality is deplorable at any resolution. I should have figured this out from its .3 or so megapixels. But this isn't the worst thing about it: It's life span is comparable to a mosquito's....
