I bought this with my christmas money and i was really excited. When i first got it out to take my pictures they were not very good. Then i realized what i was doing wrong which a lot of people have not realized. In the light settings section you are supposed to set it to the lighting around you.If its in a dim area, you would set it to "dim" to get a good picture rather than setting it to "bright". Only if you are in a bright area would set it "bright" to get a good picture. You would also do the same thing for "low light" and "normal"

If you know about this information, than you will be able to take good pictures like i am able to.

This is a cheap camera. It doesn't take pictures at all! Trust, I got the camera, and it is HORRIBLE! Please, if you really want to get a gameboy camera , do not get this! You know on the cover it has a High Res. picture of a dog on it, that is COMPLETLEY FAKE!!!! When you take a picture on the camera, all it you see is either black, white, or a very unviewable picture! And I am telling the true, true truth. But there other gameboy cameras avalible, like the original gameboy camera, that you can find here on amazon. The only thing is that the orignal gameboy camera takes black'n'white pictures. The only thing I want to tell you is, DO NOT GET THIS GBA CAM AT ALL!!!!

I bought the worm cam for my daughter, who was begging for a camera, because I thought it would be both a fun accessory for her game boy advance and satisfy her desire to take photos, but I was wrong. Being eight years old, she does enjoy taking photos with her gameboy - the concept is neat - but the photos are of the worst possible quality. The novelty of this product is not enough to keep it from being a big disappointment.

YES, we are aware that there is an adjustment for the brightness level, but that only corrects the problem a very small bit. If you don't use the correct setting, you get completely black (too dark) or completely white (too bright) image. If you do use the correct setting, you still only get a sepia toned, painfully grainy, barely recognizable image.

I have a fairly fast PC, so downloading isn't so bad, but for people with a slow PC the image upload process would be horrible. Don't waste your money on this junk, spend a few extra bucks for a real digital camera even if this is for a kid. The prices on digital cameras have gone down considerably, and you can now get one that takes much better photos than this thing, for around $30.00.

Yes you can hook it up to a computer and upload your pictures, yes it's color, yes it has the spy cam mode, but you can't save the pictures on the GBA!!! It says you can, but it hardly ever works for me. If someone knows why this is happening, or does not ever have this problem[?]...

I picked this THING up today, and there's one word to describe it...HORRIBLE. The pictures that you take are so unclear and bad. On the box, it shows a nice clean, crisp picture, but on the actual screen the pictures suck. Every picture I take turns out completly black, or hardly there. The original GAMEBOY camera is way better. Don't make the same mistake that I made. You will regret losing you money on this peice of junk.

Ok, this totally sucks. The pictures are so crappy you can barely see anything. Yes it has color, but it's practically B+W. It sucks, and the picture will only give you outdoor pictures that actually look like something. Sure you can upload the pics to the PC, but if you view in large view it's distored, and has that blurry pixle look. It's not really a digital camera, cuz you can't see what your taking until the pics are svaed. It takes forever to save, the pictures are so cappy too. it's not even worth $20 if you can find that price in the store. It saves so slow and it's so easy to get frustrated to. It's worst than the B+W Gameboy Camera, which even has better picture quality without having to struggle, plus that one is B+W. The WormCam sucks, don't believe the reviews below, because it isn't the real deal. I ended up returning and getting my money back. Don't make the same mistake it's not worth it.

It is very convenient to have a digital camera for your Gameboy Advance, and the spy cam mode is pretty cool, but the quality of the pictures aren't that great. If you are buying this product because you don't have a digital camera, I would recommend looking somewhere else. If you are looking for more cool accessories for your Gameboy, I would recommend it. Disappointed in the quality of the pictures. They look nothing like what is advertised!

...the pictures are not that great but it takes pictures thats the main thing. The editing tool is awesome. I give the worm cam a 4 out of 5 star rating.

Years ago I asked for, and got, this Nyko camera for my GBA. Taking pictures with it is fairly easy and it has a bunch of nice features and modes for it. Picture quality is horrible, though. Even in the correct modes, the best quality pics were not easy to even recognize what it was of. The pc uploading software is basic and worthless for two reasons.
1.It won't work correctly on newer PCs.
2.As bad as the pictures are that it takes, you won't even want to save them. You'd be embarrassed to be seen saving them.

Please, for your own sake, if you want a GBA camera, save your money and buy a good one.

I received the worm cam for my birthday. I was so excited (yeah right) when I hooked it up to my GBA it had a horrible picture that I couldn't even see. THe picture was so dark even when I put it in it brightest setting I went outside but then it was too light and it looked like I was engulfed in white. The picture on the box can hardly compare to what they actually show. Don't be fooled. I was so excited about the idea because of the beautiful colorful picture of the dog but in reality its more of a black and white you can't even distinguish the colors or the picture and there is only the setting of brightness and that doesn't even work. Thank goodness I returned it and got my money back. Trust me this is not an item you want to buy!
