3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a free camera, November 17, 2004

(REAL NAME)   

There are a lot of these cameras out there with different company names on them. I got mine free from Blue Points (Blue Cross) and its pretty cool. It can shoot in normal and brighter ambient light levels, but it really does great in bright situations like fluorescently lit grocery stores or outdoors. There is some pretty serious corner blurring/vignetting that gives it a 70's point and shoot look. Also, the colors are pretty saturated and in tungsten and fluorescent light produce a really cool retro look.

Its kind of hard to know what you are shooting, even with the cute pop-up magnifying glass (viewfinder), but that adds excitement later when you find out what you took. The webcam feature is a bit laggy, but not bad. The self-timer function is pretty nice.

I also have a 640x480 version of this camera with an f/2.8 lens. The picture quality is really nice but the slower lens almost entirely prohibits indoor shooting.

In general though, I wouldn't recommend either the 352x288 or the 640x480 camera for indoor shooting because the noise level is very high. Outdoors or in bright indoor lights, the pictures are very clear and low-noise. Hopefully, if you are looking to get this, it is not your primary camera. It is great to have in your pocket for casual shooting, but don't expect it to replace a normal compact point and shoot digicam.

*Also, be aware that removing the battery (or having the battery die) causes you to lose your pictures. Have fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Just had to have it!, January 14, 2007

I just had to have this little, portable camera. I could just see myself, carrying it around in my pocket everywhere I went. It happened for a while, but I needed more.
The camera itself is very small, and hard to hold still. Of course there is no flash, so outdoors is the only place I could get a pic. But I bought mine for $8 or so, when I couldn't afford anything nicer. It's better than nothing! Now, of course, they have cams on phones.
It was considered 'cool' by some of the neighborhood kids; and they wanted one. It came with the cable and all. It will even take 10 shots one-after-the-other 'like' a video.
