My 11 yr. old daughter bought this camera using her birthday money ... it broke within minutes! It was difficult to use and the shutter-button to take the pictures broke after 4 pictures! Definitely a waste of money!

This camera has no LCD so it's missing one of the main advantages of instant feedback for learning digital photography.
Moral: you get what you pay for.

My daughter received this camera for Christmas. Came with no software and no way to get pictures off of the camera. Contacted Toysrus who said that I needed to contact Sakar. Did so 5 times, have yet to hear from them. Bad customer service. Would rate camera pics if I could get them off the camera. Don't waste you time.

I believe this camera is well worth it's value if you look at other good cameras they have 5 mega pixles but they cost 80$ to even over 100$! but this camera dosn't have as many pixles only like 3.1 mega pixles but hey for a 1.9 mega pixle diffrence it ends up being a 50$ and up differennce than the expencive ones! I strongly- and truly suggest this camera to all of the boy's and girls who'd like to learn digital photography.
P.S. Buy a Tripod to inrease picture quality <usually $5.00>

This digital camera is awful. My 11 year old daughter received this camera for Christmas also. Last night when we went to download the pictures, we found that it did not come with a Cd-driver. But after a few minutes of trying to get it to download via another program that I have, we found that it wouldn't have mattered anyway since the batteries(which were new at Christmas) in the camera had died and all of the pictures were lost. My daughter was heartbroken to find out that all the pictures she had taken at Christmas were gone.

There is also no LCD screen to view pictures taken. But I guess you get what you pay for, and I won't be wasting my time or money on these cheap items again.

My daughter bought this camera and it appears to recognize the USB bus and beeps and puts a little "PC" in its window but it fails to be detected correctly by Windows XP Home. I tried Sakar's drivers from their website, contacted them, and downloaded drivers they recommended and Windows XP still can't read the camera. When I complained to Sakar, they said I was loading the drivers incorrectly, which I wasn't. I've worked with various iterations of Windows Operating Systems from Windows 3.0 through Windows XP, so I know when something is not working with Windows XP. All the drivers in the world won't enable a bad camera from being read. Save your money an buy a quality Nikon or Canon or Pentax or Minolta. You won't have this headache.

Batteries loses power after short usage. If battery dies, you lose your pictures. While the camera is "storing" photos... it uses battery power, thus battery loss is quick. We plugged it to our pc one time... after that, it doesn't always download, and twice it shut my computer down. It is NOT worth the money to spend!! I thought it would be great for my 7 yr old son to learn to use a camera, and take his own photos. It is more of a hassle than an enjoyment because he cannot get his photos to download.

My 4 year old received this camera for Christmas. He loves taking pictures of EVERYTHING, so a digital camera comes in handy for not spending money on film developing. He learned how to use it very quickly. He has already taken around 200 pictures in just a couple of weeks, and the camera is holding up well. The only problem with this camera, is the pictures are VERY low resolution. They are slightly dark and EXTREMELY pixelated. If you're looking for quality photos, this is not the camera for you. If you're looking for a cheap digital camera for a child, this one will work fine.
