4.0 out of 5 stars great quality output - but...., March 9, 2001

The results from this inexpensive camera are amazing. Dont be fooled by the description that says full display, it does not show pictures. Plus hard to know unless dark enough for flash when the picture has been taken.. downloads pictures almost instantly, however somewhat tedious to save them to disk. It does have a cable to display pictures on TV I'm not sure why you would want to do this but it's neat??!!?

Great alternative to spending many hundred dollars on other digital cameras.. This is a very good value!

4.0 out of 5 stars great for the price, August 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: RCA CDS1005 0.3MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

The camera is great for the price you are paying for it. The picture quality is very good when you are using it in daylight, but when you use it inside the pictures will probably get a little blurry unless you remember to use the flash. But when you use the flash the pictures have great quality. One problem i noticed, if you take the batteries out, or they fall out or something while the camera is on, all of the pictures will be deleted. Putting the files onto your computer from the camera doesn't take long at all. One problem, you can't use the software for this camera with windows 2000, it just doesn't work for some reason. Overall the camera is great, and if you are not looking to spend over $100 then this camera is deffinitly a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars What I expected for the prize, November 12, 2001

I bought this camera to use it as a fast way to can send pictures from my travels to home. I recomend to use it in this way, and pictures you really want to conserve, take them with both cameras (this and your film one). Do not use it to replace your film camera!. It will not always be the same. It works really fine on day and in stages with much light, but in the darker stages it has some problems. But anyway, if you are conscious in how and when to use it, and how and when not, it is a very useful tool to take and send your pictures in a very easy and fast way.
