My kids LOVE using the camera.
We were thrilled at the comcept of a kids digital Camera.
I would give THIS product a 0 or half star rating if I could.
The pictures absolutly SUCK!!!!!
And It is a horrible painful process to try and upload them on the computer!!!!!!
We didnt even try the software as the pictures were so crappy!!!
I hope to find a better digital camera for my kids. They keep wanting to use their camera.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the plastic it's made out of, November 4, 2005

The camera has no display and even the adults cannot even tell when a picture has been taken. The driver disk provided did not allow us to download any pictures. This was tried on 3 different, up-to-date, computers. Buy something else!

My mom was very excited to find a digital camera for my son for Christmas. Sounded like a great idea, as my husband is an amateur photographer, and my son loves to both pretend to take pictures and also use disposable cameras. We were SO disappointed when he opened this camera to find that THERE IS NO DISPLAY! Okay, I take that back - there's an LCD that shows some very cryptic codes for camera functions. If you don't hit the right button and get it in the right mode, there's no way to take a picture. Without consulting the manual, there's no way to know if it's in picture taking mode, what quality of pictures it's set for, or if you're about to delete everything from its memory.

And it DOES NOT HAVE EXTERNAL STORAGE. There is no card to remove and put in a card reader. You can't even hook it up to your basic digital-camera-reading computer and get the images. You MUST use their software on a Windows machine (sorry, fellow Mac users! It won't work!), and even then - we got no actual images. Maybe we accidentally deleted them while fumbling with the cryptic codes and buttons.

We keep saying we'll read the manual again and figure it out. I feel badly that my mother spent her money on something of such poor quality, that had such potential. My son asks about his camera and really wants to use it. But at this point it's not much more than a very expensive play camera.

Invest in either a "real" digital camera, or an inexpensive film camera, and get cheap processing. This one just isn't worth it.
