You pay more, you get more.
(5 out of 5) by Buzz006 on Aug 6, 2003 (Ostrander, OH United States)Yes, I had to spend some money, but it is money well worth it. This camera works well in several situations such as dusk pictures, as well as moving pictures. I would definitely recommend getting the 256 MB memory chip because the one that comes with it which is 16 MB can only take about 15 pictures and the memory card is full. If you also ever want to use the video function, you will definitely need more memory.
Fantastic!

Holy mackarel! this camera rocks!
(5 out of 5) by houseworkhater on Mar 7, 2003 (Wisconsin)I received my Christmas present in March! Amazon.com, you took too long! The camera is well worth the wait. I can take short movies and see them instantly on my PC running WinXP. The Dimage software is great. I love that I can turn the camera on and take a picture instantly and turn it around and see the picture. Same features as any other digital camera, but this one is so small, has so many more features, turns on instantly, and I can even store up to 1,000 pictures on a 128 MB card. Each day is stored in a new folder. Gawd, this camera is fantastic.

Terrific Camera
(5 out of 5) by Donald A. Brodzik on Mar 5, 2003 (San Francisco, California USA)Outstanding camera. Pictures, movie clips, and audio. Very easy to use. Connected effortlessly to Imac running OS 8.6 with the USB storage support 1.3.5.smi update. Incredible features for this size. LCD screen diffiult to see in bright sunlight but can then default to viewfinder if parallex not problem. Highly recommend.

Camera's great/software stinks
(4 out of 5) by Bill Barnes on Feb 21, 2003 (Yarmouth, MA United States)After using a klunky old Kodak 2.0 for the last 2 years, I am awed by the DimageXi...I mastered its use quickly. It feels solid, performs great and I'm already trying some of the more arcane features...
The software is either unusable on Macs or the manual that describes its use is unreadable. Otherwise, the camera would get five stars. I'm online now to research what I need to make editting and storage easy. for the moment the best i can do is load the Jpegs into an Appleworks document and print from there.

One last thing, watch out for the left thumb that keeps creeping into the bottom of the photo.

the best camera ever
(5 out of 5) by Kitti on Jun 20, 2003 (hoUstOn, TX)this is the best camera ever! I have been satisfied with it since the first time I used it. The picture quality is amazing and the 3.2 mp provide for good quality when you transfer them to the computer. It has a very sleek design as well which makes its easy to carry around without it being noticable. I am happy with my product! You should invest in one.
