This thing is such an absolute piece of junk!

After reading a few reviews, it seems people have bought this camera long ago and are still satisfied. Well, that's fine. You know what the problem is though? This industry has come pretty far in two years. This camera was a good buy at the time, now it's just an outdated dinosaur.

You'll likely get better image quality on the "Barbie" digital camera than this one. Look elsewhere.

Of course, if this is for a teenager and you can find it cheaper than 199 somewhere then it could be worth it for a play-around/junk camera.

I purchased this camera 2 years ago after reviewing many cameras on this site. I was very pleased w/every aspect of this camera except no usb port. I have reccommended it to everyone that has been interested in purchasing a digital camera. I have since purchased a higher end camera and can only find small differences. I generally use the higher end camera only when I need the zoom feature. Also the software w/the AGFA is the best I have found w/all that are out there. I am confused as to why this camera is no longer avaiable.

I admit, even being the young techno geek I am, i've never had much interest in digital cameras, especially due to the prices. But then I got the 780c from my Uncle this Christmas and I'm having an absolute ball with it. Whint like an hour, I was taking pictures, downloading them on the computer with the family christmas photos and watching them oh the TV. The online manual is really easy to use and the photo software is as plain as english can get. The camera itself has a great quality and feel to it. Go grab a 8meg card (about 20 bucks) for it and take pictures to yours hearts content, even on high resolution, you can get 45 pics! I'll never got back to regular cameras, this is to much fun. If youve wanted to jump into the digital camera world but didn't want to make a big splash in the money bank, this is a fun and cheap way to get into it! Get one today and you won't be disappointed!

So you have seen all your techno-weinie friends with their $2000 cameras. No need to feel deprived anymore. Film is dead! Good riddance. You can take and discard all the pics you want. I would suggest getting an 8 Meg card for the camera after you get it. (I bought the card at a local camera store.) That allows you to shoot 45 pics at hi rez. I am having a ball with this. Hope Amazon.com gets a bunch of these back in soon.

As a technology consultant, I recommend, test and purchase computer related equipment for people who find it difficult or time consuming to do it themselves. I purchased this camera for a real estate agent who wants to take pictures of homes and e-mail them to potential customers. I had two problems with the camera. 1) The data connector is similar to a headphone jack and I had to wiggle it to make a connection to the PC. 2) The quality is only appropriate for pictures you intend to post on the web. I will recommend that my client spend more money for a megapixel camera.
