Summary: Good Package
Review: I bought this camera because i wanted to take pictures of friends and stuff to e-mail to people or stick on a web page. i think the quality of the pictures are very good and the overall package is worth the money. The only real downsides are the battery life seems to be poor and the flash is a bit strong and tends to be too bright which causes pictures to be washed out. The problems people have mentioned with blurry images must be due to them not having a steady hand because i have taken about 100 photo's so far and only a dozen or so have been so poor that i deleted them straight away. Blurry images from digi cameras is always a problem and i don't think it is too bad considering the price of the camera. Software was easy to install, don't know how good it is because i use Paintshop pro 7 to edit pictures, but it is standard corel paint package. Definitely rate this camera quite high due to dual purpose camera and webcam, fast pic download using USB and stores enough pictures to make it fun to use. A good all round budget camera.

Summary: It Did Not Work
Review: I bought this camera used. It arrived in just a few days and was packed well. I have been unable to get it to work. I went to AGFA's website and downloaded their newest driver for this model. It still did not work. The camera indicates I have taken pictures, but I cannot get them to download to my computer.

Summary: Unable to download pictures.
Review: I bought this camera while shopping for a web cam, I decided to buy this camera because it would also "Travel". It quit taking pictures after 1 trip outdoors, it just makes little chirping sounds now when you push the buttons, this camera apparently doesn't like to go outside. I could get my money back or a replacement but don't want to bother. It still works ok as a web cam, I guess I'll just use it for that. The few times I did take still photo's the resolution is very poor and the colors were washed out badly. I shouldn't complain cause when I bought the cam I think it was mispriced at a national office supply chain, I bought it for less than half the price I've seen it for anywhere. I just look at it like I have a fairly good value in a web cam.

Summary: Poor image quality camera
Review: I didn't expect an excellent camera for this price, but just wanted to be able to take pictures and upload it to the Internet. It messes up colors, and you can't get a really close shot of your object. Also it takes too long to take a picture, I had to keep it still for at least 10 sec., so the pictures won't come out blurry. Overall I think this camera is not worth its price. I'd rather wait a few months and get a better quality camera.

Summary: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
Review: I GOT ONE OF THESE CAMERAS BEFORE THANKSGIVING. I NEVER COULD USE IT. WHEN THEY PACKAGED THE DISCS FOR THE CAMERA THEY PUT TAPE OVER THEM TO HOLD THEM IN. THIS OF COURSE TOOK THE INFORMATION OFF THE DISC. I COULD NOT GET ANY COOPERATION FROM THE COMPANY DIRECTLY TO REPLACE THE DISC. AMAZON CALLED AND GOT ME THE INFORMATION I NEEDED TO HAVE THE DISC REPACED BY THE AGFA. AS OF TODAY, JAN 17TH, I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE DISC. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE ALREADY RETURNED THE CAMERA TO AMAZON. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING ELSE WITHE THE AGFA NAME. THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THE CUSTOMER WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!

Summary: You get what you pay for
Review: I got this camera for myself for Christmas and I must say the $140 I paid for it was DEFINITELY too much. The photo quality is poor as a webcam. There is barely any detail. As far as using it as a digital cam, it projects too much of a contrast and really focuses on shadows. The quality is just poor. I was too happy to replace it when I got the money. If you are taking pictures of things such as scenery outside, then it is ok. As far as people, no. It makes everything look terrible.

Summary: A Decent Digital Camera at an Affordable Price
Review: I have been wanting my own digital camera for quite some time. My family had a JoyCam digital camera, but the quality on that was so low that it was not worth it to take pictures. Plus, I went to college and it stayed with them in a different state. So, for my birthday in December, I requested a digital camera.

I didn't want anything extravagant, just an affordable camera that took good-quality, pictures I could upload to my homepage. That is exactly what I got with this camera. I have had the camera for a few weeks now, and I think it is a great one. This camera is so small and cute; it is pocket-sized so it's easy to take it anywhere and not have it be a big hastle. It can hold 16 high quality pictures or 32 lower-quality ones (Although I have not been able to see much of a difference in quality, both of them are very clear.) It uploads quickly via USB, and the software that comes with it is helpful and fun. The camera is easy to use; its buttons can be figured out right away, and just in case you need help, the instructions are very helpful.

I have one nitpicky complaint about this camera, and that is that you have to wait seven seconds in between snapping pictures. That is not usually a big deal for me, because I am not extremely impatient, nor am I a professional photographer who has to click a whole bunch of different pictures after one another. :) So I feel that for the average person this is not a big complaint, but if you plan to take lots of pictures in a row, I just wanted to mention that with this camera you can't do that because it pauses for 7 seconds after taking each picture to process it, and you can't take another picture until those 7 seconds are over.

If you are looking for a *great* digital camera on a limited budget, I definitely recommend this one. It has met all my needs for my webpage and has also been a fun toy to play with as well. :) It will provide lots of fun at your family and friend gatherings. I love not having to buy film and wait for it to be developed, but instead being able to take pictures and have them within minutes on my computer anytime I want. This camera has served those needs very easily, and I have a feeling it will continue to do so for a long time.

DETAILS: Ease of Use: Excellent; operates with the touch of a button Durability: Good; solid it will last until new technology develops Photo Quality: Good; suitable for enlargements in all light conditions Battery Life: Good; lasts 200-300 exposures Recommend to other potential buyers? Yes

Summary: It's ok. I guess you get what you pay for
Review: I have learned that it seems that this camera takes better pictures when in broad daylight. I've taken pictures in the house and the pictures come out very dark. I'm still trying to get used to not moving the camera so much after shooting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Small, light and easy to use
Review: 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.
