Summary: GOOD FOR THE MONEY
Review: If you need a digital camera and you don't want to spend a fortune. You can buy this camera. It's great and even if it only works for a year or two at least you can get your money's worth.
Give it a try... I've had mine for about 4 months and it's still in great condition...

Summary: Not worth the trouble
Review: Nice little camera, but it does not take quality pictures. We used this camera for pictures of all kinds and the pictures look great on the camera display, but once they are printed they are very blurry and distorted. Spend the extra money to get something of good quality, this camera is definitely not it.

Summary: So-So
Review: This camera is nice and clean, but the performance is lagging when it comes to processing time and overall photo quality. The digital zoom is best left alone because results end up being out of focus. The 1.5 inch display is fine for lighted photos, but during dances or night time events you are totally unable to view what you are trying to take a photo of. For the price it is average, but for a little more money you can purchase a better camera with an optical zoom.

Summary: Two Thumbs Down
Review: This cam is an import, I can't remember if it was built in Taiwan or China; either way its definitely not from the USA. The max resolution is complete overkill. For such an anemic sensor, they should not have tried to make 6MP from 3MP. The picture quality has been below average when set to 3MP. At 6MP, the quality is exceptionally poor. Avoid the Digital Zoom, unless you like really blurry pics. Two thumbs down for me.

Summary: Great For The Price
Review: We got the 308 with the underwater housing and took it to Hawaii. I and my girlfriend were very impressed. The underwater housing performed perfectly, and the pictures (taken one step below the highest resolution) were clear and sharp, even when we put them up on a 36inch monitor. It's not as fast and doesn't have as many of the creature comforts as some of the more expencive 3.2's, but that was great for my girl, who didn't want a something that was too complicated, and for the price, it was excellenet. This company makes all the internal camera parts for many of the big companies and now they have their own line, so I thought it was a good gamble, eventhough I'd never heard of them before. It comes with all the cables, batteries and software, but you'll need to buy your own SD card. We recommend this camera, and were glad to have it on our vacation.

Summary: Absolutely the most aweful piece of tech I have EVER bought.
Review: I should have known when I paid under $100 for a 3mp camera, but it had good reviews and sounded like a good deal. Well, this camera has been nothing but disappointing and just plain useless since I recieved it.

MAJOR ISSUES:

1. Pressing the 'shoot' button takes up to 2 seconds for the camera to respond.

2. When the camera DOES respond it arbitraily decides when to flash, sometimes in total darkness it doesn't flash even when on auto.

3. Camera frequently doesn't focus on the item in the crosshairs.

4. Camera delay makes taking pictures of children almost impossible. Even landscape moves too fast for this camera!!

5. Out of the over 200 pictures I and 3 of my family and friends have tried to take with this device only 10 images of even decent quality have been produced.

6. The webcamera feature is useless unless you are in a floodlit environment.

7. Turning up the exposure to compensate for the lack of low level light photography, comes up with totally washed out GLOWING images...


anyhow, this is the worst piece of tech I have ever bought. I'm 33 and a computer developer and tech-o-holic and this thing is aweful... stay away... far far away.

Summary: Extremely good value
Review: The prices of electronics never cease to amaze me. This is my 3rd digital camera. By far the cheapest camera I have purchased - and yet has far better resolution and quality than my previous two (which were, believe it or not, name brands). Digital camera prices have dropped considerably over the past few years and this camera is no exception. It has functions that were, until recently, reserved for only the most expensive cameras out there and is yet still user friendly. The picture quality is extremely good, the memory fair (but you can always get a larger SD), photo's print very well (you need to have a decent printer with photo ink for it to compare to normal 35mm - and it does come pretty close), and the battery life is much longer than average. The only complaint I have is the LCD's lack of adequate light, especially in dim environments. But for the price, I would have to be a fool to hold that against it.

Summary: Great Camera for the beginner
Review: This is my first digital camera and it was a gift from a novice so I have no idea how much he spent on it. It is an excellent little camera and very user friendly! The included software is very useful and not just a pile of crap that usually comes with stuff like this. If you have XP, the software is not necessary because it does everything for you, the software just has a bunch of fun extras. The display screen is not very large but this doesn't seem to be a big problem for me since I just wanted a point and shoot camera. It does take some time in between pictures using flash, however, outdoors i never use the flash and it works great! One photo after the other. Doesn't take forever to load the photos onto your PC either! very simple! Would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a compact camera and not a lot of bells and whistles! wonderful product! PS... don't be intimidated if you don't recognize the brand name, I was worried myself, but you have no reason to worry!
