4.0 out of 5 stars Small but Powerful, October 29, 2006

With only two buttons to contend with and a miniature display screen, you better have good eyesight and good with a multifunction button. The unit will fit in any small shirt pocket and yet is rugged.

There is no preview display but I still have fun with it!! I Like-Love it!
For $20+ (US Dollars) you can't go wrong. I happen to have a spare 128 meg SDRAM card and the unit works great with it!

I use Linux and could not use the enclosed software that comes on a 3 inch CD but Linux detected and open the Camera with no effort at all! Mandriva 2007 detected the USB Camera and automatically opened the Camera as a Flash Drive Folder would open!
It's a toy but a lot of fun and it REALLY works and works well! For the price, it's great!

1.0 out of 5 stars Battery consumption is the problem, February 8, 2008

This is an interesting toy camera. I got it just to play around. It works and is fun but uses far too much battery power. You have to replace the battery practically every time you shoot a bunch of images. Maybe 50 shots or so and a dead battery. Really a shame as otherwise it would be fun and cute, kind of like a digital Lomo. I never use it now because I'm not going to waste so much on batteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars cult pictures only found in much more expensive cameras, December 12, 2007

This camera takes unique pictures people search far and wide for cameras with this character of pictures and still don't find them. Lomo comes to mind.

With the exception of the lousy battery life this is a winner. There are battery off mods found on the internet. I intend to build an external battery
box for mine. Use rechargeables an carry exras. Don't put the battery in until you are ready to shoot.
