We got this camera for my son to take to sleep away camp, where cameras were encouraged but he couldn't bring "electronics" and wouldn't be able to charge devices. Though I was initially discouraged by the reviews about the poor photo quality, I decided to buy it after reading the headline, "Only slightly better than a disposable camera." Our only other option was a disposable camera and this was a way better option, considering the price, the large number of photos it could hold, and its ability to also take video. It also was the only inexpensive digital camera that used batteries, which was essential in our case.
Sure, the picture quality isn't great but it definitely captured very special memories -- even the memory of the camera accidentally falling into the water and being perfectly fine. (He then took a video as he deliberately jumped in the water holding the camera.) When the camera first arrived we took some test pictures indoors with the flash and they really were quite terrible (a grey wall--and everything else-- appeared orange!) but at camp without a flash the colors look perfectly fine. Close-ups aren't always focused on the intended object. Outdoor, daytime, long-view scenic shots turned out best and are quite nice!
We were able to upload the pictures to our computers and watch the videos with sound (playback on the camera is visual only). It was well worth the price and a much better deal all around than a disposable camera.
1) I tested and put new batteries in THREE times. Each time the display indicates that the camera is not at full power (with one pair, the camera would only turn on for less than a minute before powering off).
2) Menu settings and navigation takes practice because the buttons are not labeled well.
3) You can't pull the SD card and plug into your computer to upload. They REQUIRE you to download their software and connect via USB cable. Even then the software is glitchy and not easy to navigate.
4) I am 6'2" and the camera is TINY in my hands.
With all of that being said (not having used it in a practical situation yet), I plan to keep it because I will be using it in situations where I do not want to take my phone: rain, deep woods, marshes & swamps. My hope is that in the long run, I will get decent photos with friends without the constant paranoia of losing/breaking my phone.
My daughter wanted a beginners camera and I thought this would be a good option for her. Unfortunately, it's not the best picture quality and ends up with some grainy and blurry photos. I think you get what you pay for.
