At first i was enticed by the low cost of the digital camera as well as its sleek credit card look. To begin with, the instructions required that i wait for 4 hours before using the camera so that the battery could charge. I stared continuously at the camera for those four intense hours only to end up in agony and unbearable pain upon realizing that the ON and OFF button could only be switched with the use of a knife or sharp object. I figured ok.. no big deal i just need to carry a knife around with me but for a camera that looked so sleek, I was willing to risk it.
Four long hours later, I set out to be the world's best photographer and i felt that no one could stop me now that i had a fully charged "digital camera" and best of all, it was only $39.95. So i set out on my photographing escapade by shooting 20 of the 26 available shots. Now it was time to transfer the photos to my PC, now here's where things get a little more interesting. As I began to decipher the user manual that came along with the so called "digital camera" I realized that i would have understood just as much had the manual been written in Swahili. For instance, I wanted to know how to get the pictures from the digital camera onto the computer rite? so i flipped to the section in the manual entitled "Download Photos" and here's the opening line of that section, "Once you have downloaded photos onto your PC..." WHAT THE HECK?! no where in the manual does it mention how exactly you download those photos onto the PC. And simply connecting the USB port from the camera to the PC was not enough to transfer the photos.
So after figuring out how to trasfer the dreaded photos onto the computer myself, it was time to view my works of art. WHAT THE...all the pictures were black and none of them were recognizable. REASON: THE CAMERA LACKS A FLASH!!!!!!!!! After realizing this dreaded fact, i looked up my birthday calendar, and it looks like lucky Susan is going to be getting my recycled "Sakar Digital Concepts Digital Camera" Credit card sized.
In conclusion, do no purchase this camera under any circumstance. Infact, consider it an insult if its been given to you as a gift.

I purchased this camera for my daughter for Christmas. It was small,compact, and fairly inexpesive, perfect for a preteen. First, it took forever to charge (the instructions indicate that it takes four hours). After waiting for hours, my daughter attempted to take pictures, but the camera would not work. The manual shows several different symbols that you should see in the LCD display, but none of these symbols appeared on this camera. I am returning the camera immediately and I would not advise anyone to purchase one.

This has got to be the worst camera out there. I don't even think it's suitable for my 13 year old son. The pictures come out horrible! Good thing it was purchase mainly with gift certificates. I'm still sorry I wasted them on this piece of junk!

Well, I am waiting for Christmas to purchase a panasonic DMC-FZ20 but since my current digital camera is broken I decided to pick up the Sakar one at Officemax.
It was $25 but with my $10 coupon from Officemax it ended up being $15.
It is sleek but not worth buying unless, like me you can get it for $15.
It comes with software and a USB cable.
I had problems waiting for the battery to charge.
Sometimes the light on the back of the camera would be red other times green.
The manual on page 11 (Section Three ) states " The time has come to download photos into your computer" and then goes on to give extremely simple directions on how to do so.
The previous reveiwer Mark obviously didn't get to page 11.
The camera its in my shirt pocket and is good If I need an emergency camera.

very useless. very bad quality. software is very old and probably will not work with anything newer than windows 2000/xp
