The Agfa e-smile digital camera is not too bad for the pricebecause once you know HOW to use it correctly it really does takedecent pics.If you want a digital camera just for putting pics on webpages or sending e-mail pics to friends and family this is good for that. Camera can be used for video conferencing and can be hooked to vcr or tv to capture real time video imagaes I was ready to take it back but now I can use it for E-mail just fine just don't expect to get above average pics with this camera. END

I cannnot image that Agfa would even sell a camera that takes pictures this bad. This camera would not be worth it if it was free. DO NOT waste your money on this piece of junk. The pictures are absolutely horrible. This camera gets minus 5 stars if it were possible.

. STOP!!! . 1/ This camera is NOT 640x480, is a fixed 320x240. CCD is not even 1/3 megapixel, is 1/10 I think. Images are bad (like enlarging a thumbnail?) Print them in an 1x1 inch rectangle and they'll be somehow fine, anything bigger is like old CGA... awful. When you take shots they look very bad, whatever you do to edit (software) and fix them. I have another (true) 640x480 camera and pictures are excelent, but these...

2/ It doesn't include an AC adapter, so be prepared to buy LOTS of AA batteries or spend another 50 bucks.

3/ Fine as a serial videoconference camera (30 fps), but watch for the batteries.

4/ Take your first picture, and begin to wonder if it's ok. The lack of an LCD screen begins to bother you when you find out you can't review your shots. Think about it: you wont review your pictures untill you get to the PC.

Sorry I am very disappointed.

I was very pleased that I could e-mail pictures to my friends and family. I was considering buying a digital scanner for this purpose but after developing and scanning whats the point? I have purchased 3 of these to send to my brother, my son in college and my daughter. Now we we will be able to e-mail each other with pictures. Amazon had the camera to me in 2 days and have been sending pictures to everyone. Thanks amazon, good thing I read all the reviews.

Bought one of these from Circuit City and returned it 3 days later. The SW freezes up - the clarity is terrible, and it uses four batteries per download. Sorry!
