4.0 out of 5 stars Big fun from a little camera!, January 6, 2003

By A Customer

Ok, so it's not the first choice of Ansel Adams, but for what you get for the money I'm really happy. I just needed a camera to keep with me for taking candid pictures of friends when we go out. With this little beauty I don't have to worry about leaving it at the bar, or at someones house that I don't know. If I do, no problem just get another becuase they're so cheap! The images are good enough to send to buddies on the internet, and even print out if you don't mind a bit of blur above 5x7. I love this little guy! It should be standard issue for everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the money, January 6, 2003

By	Donna Gay (Bella Vista, AR United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this tiny wonder for my 13 year old son for X-mas and he just loves it. It takes decent pictures, does short 'movies' and he uses it as a web camera. His friends all want one. He can take it to school and if he loses/breaks it - I can afford to buy him another one. I read previous warnings about the battery so he downloads every day and changes the battery often. I would highly recommend it. No, it's not the best camera but for under $40 its a great deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...I get better pics from this then...dv cam, July 3, 2003

By	Joshua Mayne (Reedsburg, WI United States) - See all my reviews

ok I was buying one of these for a friend and decided to get one for myself. I am glad I did! The camera normally ships with a driver cd. I didn't get the disc so I had to hunt for one O\L. Well I couldn't find the driver on the Sipix website. That site is basically no help. Except when I did get the driver it didn't work right. Then I went back to the Sipix site and got a driver update. Now everything is peachy! This camera has 8 mb internal memory. You are going to need all of it. Because you are going to take this thing with you everywhere! It takes up less space then the change in you're pocket. Seriously take four quarters put them in a square that is how big this camera is. Now it has two resolution settings don't bother with the low res unless you want the grain effect for artistic reasons. On the hi res setting the pics will be about 250 kilobytes so you burn up that 8 megs fast. That still gives you 32 pics of so about what a film camera would give you. Low res will get you about 40kb per image. So that is where the "300 pics" statement come from. Some people have problems with battery life. Well it only takes 1 AAA battery, so that doesn't last long. Also I noticed if I had it in my pocket I frequently turn the camera when I leaned against something. It does beep when it turns on so you might want to listen to make sure you haven't turned it on. There is also indoor/outdoor settings always use indoor or the images will be dark. I gave this 5 stars because it is small,cheap, and images are decent considering. This camera replaces the Blink 1 due to the battery problems the blink had where it would delete pics if the battery went dead. They fixed that on this cam. This also can be used as a web cam through AOL instant messenger and Windows messenger. Comes with a stand for web camming. Again awesome cam!
