Barely Functions
(1 out of 5) by Kevin Stokes on Jan 16, 2007 (Fairport, NY USA) I bought these for my kids.
Brand new alkaline batteries last only long enough to take 5 or 6 pictures. When I take the battery out after it dies, it is *hot*.
The camera has to pull open to use, but it is so stiff my 9 year could not do it until I worked on it and put wax on to keep the plastic from binding.
The pictures are ok, but I don't expect the kids will ever use them. Every time they try, the battery is dead again.
A real disappointment.

Worth maybe $10 at best
(1 out of 5) by Stewart Stryker on Feb 6, 2008 (Windsor, VT United States)This is not worth buying unless you have very specific need for a tiny camera that takes mediocre photos of items at EXACTLY 6'! Seriously, the focus is fixed at 6' and it has no depth of field (look it up) so only things at that distance are in focus. The rest are blurry.
I also found it very hard to open up, it sticks terribly.
But this next problem was what made me want to toss it out. The battery only lasts a couple days sitting in the camera with it OFF. So you have to plan when you're going to take photos with it, so you can install/recharge a fresh battery. I bought this to have a camera in my coat pocket all the time, which won't work because of this battery problem.
Video? Seriously??? NOT! It takes up to 8 seconds of very low quality, with only the stuff at 6' in focus, and some SERIOUS color problems.
Don't bother buying it, you'll only be disappointed.

The Only Digital LOMO Option
(5 out of 5) by Gabriel Velasco on Apr 13, 2009 (Austin, TX USA)This is really the only digital camera worthy of the LOMO description. It's so small and convenient that there is really no excuse not to have it with you at all times. It might be the smallest camera that has support for an SD card. In fact, this would best be described as an SD card reader that just happens to have a camera built-in.
Good: Small. Convenient. SD card support. No special drivers needed to transfer pictures. Pictures with lots of saturation, strange colors, and vignetting. Interesting movies.
Bad: Eats batteries. 512 M. SD card max. No flash.
