This camera's image quality is so bad Agfa should not even bother trying to sell it. The problem is with the camera's image compression algorithm. Instead of evenly dividing up the 2MB of storage space, they thought it might be a good idea to compression each image and cause so much data loss that images show excessive pixilation. I didn't have a problem with the 640x480 resolution or 8-bit color depth just the lousy fuzzy looking images the camera produces. If image quality doesn't matter to you, you might even like the camera's slick serial port hookup, compact size, and top mounted operations options window as well as the excellent Photowise image software utility.

Pics were awful, it hogs batteries, unlike most digital cams there's no power adapter included. Save some more money and buy something decent. I had tried a Casio QV220 about two years ago it was a lot better than this and it was priced about $80 more than this two years ago, I would have thought two years time would have slashed the prices and this one would be about the same quality... WRONG... this camera does not worth it's weigh to carry with you. Pictures are really bad.

We had low expectations and even they were unfulfilled. Amazon is a great company but this is not a great product. Picture quality is terrible and inconsistant. After one week and over a dozen batteries we still didn't have any usable pictures. We should have listened to the other feedback but thought we could make it work.

I didn't expect high quality, but I never expected what I received ethier, the pictures were terrible, I'm suprised Amazon even sells this product and that Agfa would allow this product on the market. This camera wouldn't be a good deal if they gave it away! I'm a loyal Amazon shopper, and will continue to shop with them, this is the frist time I have purchase anything bad from them and hopefuly the last.

It's not worth the money. Look elsewhere. It was intended for my 14-year old daughter. As I figured, the "Barbie" camera for my 5-year old is doing much better. JamCam 2.0 is also better. Each of them costs much less then the "SMILE".

I believe there are few more cameras out there for similar price. WEB digicam sites mention their better quality.
