I had this camera before and It was good for the price. I threw this camera away because I thought it was bad at the time than I bought other cameras in this price range and this is the BEST ONE, others you can't take a picture because its too dark ( even though theres a lot of light!) This has a flash so no need to worry. Great camera for the price. Buy it if you want a camera with SOME clarity, ( NOT the best) but good for the price.

I've seen tons of reviews on this camera. Some good and some bad. Some of these people giving the bad reviews must be a little deluded. Maybe they thought someone was going to give them a [price] camera for [price]. Wake up! This camera works better than any camera even close to the price. Admittedly, the included software isn't all that great, but I didn't buy it for the software. I have sent nice snapshots to all of my friends and family by exporting as jpegs. Great all-around deal.

This camera was purchased with ebay listings in mind. When I can get the photos to load they are fine for computer usage. BUT it is a rare occasion when this is possible. The software for the camera is horrible. Largan's technical support is even worse. Avoid purchasing this camera at all costs!

Like most other reviewers, we found flash closeups to be grossly overexposed.

Since we take a LOT of such flash closeups, we simply made a small "hat" made from a strip of copy paper to fit over the flash. End of problem.

As to unpredictability of the flash: The camera doesn't need much light to decide for itself the flash isn't needed. We tend to set the camera to force a flash and use the "hat" as described above. Outdoor pictures are generally very good, but certainly not up to mega-pixel quality.

The camera IS a bit of a battery-hog, but since it comes with an AC adapter, we often use the adapter for those indoor closeups. Battery savings hint: The camera uses battery #123, a single 3-volt cell. Buy a battery #223, which has TWO 123's in it, and use them, IF you're willing to crack open the plastic case, which isn't the easiest thing to do, but saves you about 30-40% over the cost of 2 #123's.

This is a decent sub-1Megapixel camera if you aren't too concerned about color. It doesn't get colors right at all. Plus, the time to process a picture is way too long. Don't use the included software for the camera - go to the Largan web site and download the twain driver. Additionally, the pictures are always overexposed with the flash. My advice; don't bother.
