1.0 out of 5 stars Highly breakable, confusing P.O.S., March 17, 2006

This review is from: Oregon Scientific DS6688-S 3MP ThinCam Digital Camera (Silver) (Electronics)

We bought this for our 12-year old in December 2005 and just threw it out after taking 0 acceptable photos with it. We already have 2 other digital cameras in the house and have used them extensively for two years so this was not a user problem.

1. 2 crucial buttons fell off in one month. We used a paper clip instead.

2. All photos we've taken have been orange-cast, dark, and blurry.

3. The on-off switch is malfunctioning. It's almost impossible to turn the camera off, which means the batteries run down quickly.

4. The user manual has no information on how to correct image problems. We have yet to find any on-line help.

5. Buttons on the camera are tiny and hard to use. Button functions are extremely difficult to figure out unless you have the manual on your knee. Not an intuitive design at all.

We had high hopes for this camera and bought it because of a few good reviews and the camera's sleek design.

Don't waste your money on this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great little camera, but not worth $100, February 28, 2006

This review is from: Oregon Scientific DS6688-B 3MP ThinCam Digital Camera (Blue) (Electronics)

I like this camera, and it is very cute. I love the fact that it is "the size of a credit card", and it fits in most pockets. The problems that I have with it, though, are these:
1. It takes the flash about 10 seconds on average to get ready
2. When the flash is ready, it isn't very effective and usualy makes the picture worse
3. The pictures end up being blurry unless you keep your hand perfectly still
4. The button that you move around to look at pictures and do different things with can be easily broken and isn't very manageable

These are the four problems I have with this camera. I got this camera because it was cute and small. If that is your reason, you can't get much better, but if you want to take nice pictures, I suggest getting another brand.

It is inexpensive and an excellent digital camera for beginners. Many of the reviews were critical because the users expected it to take very high quality images. It takes good pictures and is durable yet sleek and thin. I would definitely recommend this to any beginner photographers, or people interested in a reliable and inexpensive product.
