I purchased this camera for my husband. Mainly because of the size and cost. It was to just be kept in his pocket and used on the construction job. Granted it was inexpensive but, none the less it should have at least worked. It wouldn't load onto the computer even after considerable time and much input from computer techies. Sending it back!!

My husband and I purchased this camera x 2 for our twins' 6th Bday presents. They took them on our family vacation the next week and we found that the batteries would not even last throughout the day. The kids had to take the batteries out of the camera to try to conserve them... and then quickly replace them when they found something they wanted to capture on 'film.' The cameras also came in a super-cheap faux-suade bag that fell apart within the first 3 days. I called Oregon Scientific and after waiting on hold for 15 minutes.. I finally spoke to a customer service rep who informed me that that is just how the cameras work and they will not take them back. No refund. No store credit. No apology! Unless the product is sent back within 30 days in the original, UNOPENED packaging, they will not refund your money. Do not waste your time and money with this cute, but totally-worthless camera. We will never buy from Oregon Scientific again.

My dad wanted to buy my six-year-old daughter a digital camera for her birthday. It was hard finding one under $100 that actually worked well. From the reviews we chose this camera. It is very easy for our daughter to use. She takes great pictures and can see them right away. The camera memory only hold 18 or so pictures. She can plug it right into our TV to see the pictures big. So far, we have not been able to get the software to bring the pictures up on the computer from our camera. We don't know if that's not possible with our 1998 computer or if we're doing it wrong. We haven't taken a whole lot of time to figure it out yet or contacted the company.

We chose this camera for our kids specifically because the description of the product on Amazon.com said that it had rechargeable batteries. We are quite tired of consuming piles of AAA batteries for the kids' mp3 players, cameras, toys, etc. So a camera that came with rechargeable batteries - particularly one that charged them via the USB interface - sounded mighty attractive.

Imagine our disappointment when we opened the box and found that it contained 2 AAA Alkaline batteries - clearly labeled "Not Rechargeable!" The (rather skimpy) user's manual makes absolutely no mention of battery charging at all either.

The trouble is that the camera was our kid's Birthday present; it would be heartbreaking to take it back and return it to Amazon. So we have basically been duped by Amazon.

Not impressed.
