I have owned this little camera since June 2000. I have an excellent SLR system for slides and a very good point and shoot camera for prints so was interested in a digital camera that was small light simple and could be put in a pocket when I'm riding my motor cycle, out in the sports car or just walking around.

The resolution is adequate for point and shoot pictures, nothing can get damaged, my 4 yr old Granddaughter can use it easily, as can any one else who has used it.

Down loading is very quick and easy, I very seldom modify any pictures, resizing if anything. About 1400 photos have been taken

Best quality photos are head & shoulder pict. inside in fairly even light. The flash is ok just read up on it's range.

Outside landscapes lack detail, low pixel count doesn't help. Easy on batteries ,I use nicad recharables and carrry an extra 2.

After reading several reviews and doing some extensive researh on several entry level digital cameras I finally purchased this camera yesterday. And contrary to some of the reviews posted on the NET, the image quality is excellent, it just takes some work to get your photos to come out properly. For example, if you are taking a photo in a dark setting, turn on the flash and it will come with good results. Also, make sure you keep your hands still when you are taking your uor they will come out blurry. Furthermore, make sure you are standing an appropriate distance from the image you are shooting. All in all, the quality of the pictures I have took is above par and are comparable to the higher end cameras at more than half the price. Ir just takes some work, but isn't that where half the fun is? One complaint is that the video software is..Well..It stinks..Not only does it not provide audio for your videos, but the streaming video comes out VERY blurry. Not a big thing for me, since it's hard to find any1 to video conference with and I do already have a QuickCam Express which is more than satisfactory. All in all, I was pleased with my purchase of this camera and my images came out better than I thought they would.. Oh, a couple of other ti[s for you guys that are thinking about buying this camera. If you wanna delete your old images, just click on the record/play button at the back of the camera and press the shutter button on the image you want to delete. Simple. And if you want to delete all your old images, simply click on the play button and then the flash/timer button until you see the word ALL on the right hand side of the LCD screen, then press the shutter button.Again..Simple...Another thing...When taking pictures remember to wait for the green light to stop blinking before you move around..The image doesn't get processed until the light stops blinking. All this is explained in the manual so make sure to read it..That is all. This camera is worth the purchase and to all of you that did not find it satisfactory. Perhaps your expectations were too high?The software that comes with this camera is also pretty good. Nothing spectacular compared to Paintshop pro 7 and Photoshop which I own, but decent nonetheless .The USB connection also makes d/ing images to your comp a snap. Just plug in your cam, goto Corel PhotoHouse and follow the instructions on the manual. That's all there is to it!...

I received this camera as a birthday present from my boyfriend. I didn't even know I wanted a digital camera until I recieved this one. I enjoyed taking pictures, but since I am not very good at photography many of my shots didn't turn out and it was a really expensive screw up. I've had the camera for 5 days and have had so much fun with it. It can take up to 32 pictures on standard quality or 16 on high quality. (I've not really noticed a difference between the 2, but I've never printed one either.) Now everyday I take a "roll" of pictures and at the end of the day I look at all of them. I found this camera useful in many ways. For one, it is simple to use. Two, it has multiple uses: camera, web cam and you can view images on your TV or computer. Three, it is cheap...for what it does compared to all other cameras it is definately a best buy...after rebates you can find this camera as low as $100! What a good gift idea! Fourth, it is quite small so you can take it where ever you go...perfect for teenagers!

This camera was the best camera for the money I could find. USB connection gave me faster downloads easier connections and POWERS the camera!(Big saver of batteries) I also found it easy to do video conferencing with the supplied software and the web page microsoft's Netmeeting. I don't think there is another camera that offers both of these features.

I bought one to experiment with digital photography. It takses very good pictures, and I was able to get good results under a variety of conditions using supplementary 3rd-party lenses.

But I have a Macintosh, so I have to use a friend's PC to download the pictures. It seems that, since Mac has USB as a standard interface, these fine folks ought to support Mac AT LEAST to the extent of transferring the pictures to the Mac's hard drive in some format the camera already supports.

How about placing a driver download on your website, AGFA?!
