Summary: BE CAREFUL!!!
Review: . STOP!!! . 1/ This camera is NOT 640x480, is a fixed 320x240. CCD is not even 1/3 megapixel, is 1/10 I think. Images are bad (like enlarging a thumbnail?) Print them in an 1x1 inch rectangle and they'll be somehow fine, anything bigger is like old CGA... awful. When you take shots they look very bad, whatever you do to edit (software) and fix them. I have another (true) 640x480 camera and pictures are excelent, but these...

2/ It doesn't include an AC adapter, so be prepared to buy LOTS of AA batteries or spend another 50 bucks.

3/ Fine as a serial videoconference camera (30 fps), but watch for the batteries.

4/ Take your first picture, and begin to wonder if it's ok. The lack of an LCD screen begins to bother you when you find out you can't review your shots. Think about it: you wont review your pictures untill you get to the PC.

Sorry I am very disappointed.

Summary: Pense duas vezes antes de comprar.
Review: Ainda bem que arrependimento não mata, mas dói. Não acredite que sua foto vá ficar como a que está impressa na caixa da máquina, pois a qualidade das fotos é muito inferior. Dizem que a resolução da imagem é de 640x480 mas, na verdade, parece mais uma imagem 320x200 ampliada e interpolada, resultando numa imagem embassada e escura de doer as vistas. Já vi fotos melhores em arquivos JPG com alto nível de compressão. Como se isso não bastasse a máquina consome rapidamente as pilhas, nos obrigando a usar um eliminador de 5v. Apesar das deficiências essa máquina possui alguns recursos úteis, considerando o seu baixo preço. Permite mostrar as fotos na televisão e também pode ser usada para video conferência com uma qualidade aceitável, mas é necessario uma placa de captura de video. Indicada para uso experimental e Internet mas definitivamente proibida para uso doméstico ou profissional.

Dica.: Se tiver dinheiro sobrando você pode comprar de olhos fechados a Mavica da Sony. Já usei e o resultado é ótimo, para não dizer quase perfeito.

Summary: What do you need?
Review: Bought one from Amazon and begun immediately to take shots with the included batteries. Agfa's box made me thought it was a toy instead of a real camera. Looks good and is very small (wrong measures detailed on amazon) Beware: it lacks of an LCD screen and you WON'T be able to review your pictures until you get to your PC. When I downloaded (very easy to instal and download, but slooooow transfer over serial port only) my first bunch of photos I found the quality to be TOO BAD to get printed. No way. This camera wasn't for me. It's ok if you want to send brochures or e-mail attachments, but don't point it on your sons at the park: IT IS NOT A TRUE 640x480 camera. It's a tweaked 320x240 I guess. No selections or settings. Gave it to a digital-photo-novice friend and he LOVED it (his first camera). If you want to take pictures of people this is not the camera for you, better go spend some extra bucks, but if you want to make your first digital steps or just take shots for e-mail or brochures it's ok. 4 stars cosidering the price...

Summary: Waste of Money
Review: Bought one of these from Circuit City and returned it 3 days later. The SW freezes up - the clarity is terrible, and it uses four batteries per download. Sorry!

Summary: 100% crap
Review: Camera eats batteries like my dog eats treats. Serial port connection lasted about 3 days. The flimsy input inside the camera broke, and the camera no longer connects to a computer, thus rendering it utterly useless. The battery compartment snaps shut with a small extended piece of plastic on the door. That broke off and I have to hold the batteries in with a rubber band. The picture quality is very poor, unless of course you want to capture the essence of walleye photography. Whatever you do, stay away from this junk.

Review: Fairly easy to use but the resolution was unacceptable. Thepurchase [price] makes it a good buy for a beginner.

Summary: CHEAP, QUICK and DIRTY!
Review: First of all the camera is tiny. It easily fits in one's pocket, and can be transported around without too much bulk. Think about it, you are spending $50-$70 on a digital camera, you are getting what you pay for. People who buy the camera expecting great pictures are fooling themselves. If you want a great camera drop your $300 on another camera, and post a 5-star review over there. This camera for the price is what I expected. THere are some qwirks, but once you muddle through them, you've got a camera, which costs less than most PC/MAC camera's that sit ontop of your monitor, and you can take some decent pictures. Here are some hints if you buy the camera: 1. Register the product on the AGFA web-site and download the latest version of the software (the most recent patch). Until I did this, I couldnt download the pictures. 2. Be wary of the light in your pictures and do NOT include any light sources, only indirect light. 3. ALWAYS USE THE FLASH. 4. When placing the pictures in a web page or an email, reduce the size by about half and the pictures look great! 5. The "Quick Fix" function does a great job, so use it! After learning these simple tips, my pictures are very clean, and look great as an EMAIL picture, or one for the web. This is not the kind of camera to replace your film camera, just one to take fun pictures and send to your friends. If you expect more, you are fooling yourself! Have a good time snapping your cheap digital pictures!

Summary: great deal
Review: How flexible, useful and advantage becomes a product? it is just if you know what are you looking for, if you know exactly what you need. We can find many products meeting one or two of our needs, but, products like this that offers a lot of functions, for less than $100.00 that's great. I think this is a good deal, I've used some Agfa products related to this, and for my goals this is what exactly I was looking for.

Summary: Failed right out of the box
Review: I am currently waiting to hear from Agfa regarding replacement. This camera would not load the photos into the PC software that is provided. I connected the camera to my PC and the camera drained the power from the batteries in seconds and then shut itself off due to low power. The batteries were hot to the touch too. I went through 3 sets of batteries. I tried the ac adapter I had available and the same thing happened, except the camera would not shut off. There is some electrical problem with this camera. I contacted the store I ordered it from and found that others have complained about the quality too. Buyer beware!
