2.0 out of 5 stars Good for the beginner, October 21, 2002

This review is from: SiPix StyleCam Deluxe 1.3 MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

This camera has many excellent features that make it great for a beginner in the photography or digital camera realm, however it has a number of "bugs" that made it less than usable:
It takes too long for the image to expose making any object in motion a blurry mess
The button interface is simple but vague unless you happen to want to whip out the manual every time you press a button to figure out what it's trying to tell you.

And finally, after all this I noticed a "blind spot" in the middle of all my pictures that even after a cleaning remained in place.

Also, the product discription (at time of writing) doesn't mention that the unit lacks an LCD viewing screen.

This might be good for someone looking to take a snapshot of an inatimate object, but not for much else. It would be great for people looking for a way to take pictures of things for an online auction etc...

This review is from: SiPix StyleCam Deluxe 1.3 MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

Pros:
This is a good camera to take pictures in bright light, or record movies with audio. It is very convenient to use with a intuitive menu!

Cons:
In low light pictures look washed out, use flash for these pics. Since there is no auto focus pictures are not very sharp.

During Install I had a tough time installing photo impression.

This review is from: SiPix StyleCam Deluxe 1.3 MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

Pros: Takes good pictures in sunlight, Use flash in low light. Easy to take movies and record sound. Good Webcam. Can use to take movies/pics when tethered to PC. Decent resolution (1.3 megapixel)

Cons: Indoor pictures colours are not bright (when flash is not used). Cannot add extra memory card, 16 Mb on board fills up fast when taking movies. No Lens cap (could get dirty very easily)

I had to reinstall programs (arcsoft photoimpression) which did not install properly first.
