Customer Review: It's OK
Summary: 4 Stars
Well I got this today mailed. The thing is be careful when you cut open the package because otherwise you will break the software CD and that's exactly what happened to me. It is cool. There was a review rumor which said that the camera only held 20 pictures. That's right well sometimes. You can make high resolution and that gives you twenty photos. You can make it 81. The most is 243 pictures which is a lot. Although, the more pictures that can be stored. The worse the quality is. If you are going on a two week trip with no laptop or a place to load the photos to you should use the 81 photo setting. You can't go forever and only take 20 pictures. Just to be warned you are screwed without the software disc. [...] And in the search box type in " Photo2Album " You will then be able to download the program so you can connect with the camera. If you use a windows 98 or 2000 or XP or ME you are fine. If you use an apple that won't work with this camera. Linux or anything else doesn't work. It's so small!Customer Review: Don't bother

I wish I had read the reviews before I bought this camera. My 6YO wanted it and it was only fifteen bucks and looked good in the box. However, the cons outweigh the pros:
Cons:
Only hold 20 pics
Pictures are about 2" x 2"
picture quality is not good
impossible to see thru the view finder so hard to get pictures of what you want
If you drop camera, battery falls out and pictures are lost
I get higher quality pics from my cell phone.
There is no flash
Pros:
Camera is small
6 YO thinks it's cool
I did not have any issues installing the software or downloading the pictures, the instructions are clear, I just wish the pictures were. But my 6YO is happy with it so we'll keep it.
There are better deals for the same money.
Customer Review: What do you expect for under $20?
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for a Secret Santa gift for a co-worker at the storefront of an Amazon affiliate. For a cheap digital camera that has a fixed focus and no flash this works really well. Don't hold the camera up to your face, hold it a foot or two in front of you and look through the view finder to line up the shot. As long as the area was well lit, the photo came out well (for that resolution) (quality of the photos are less than that of most camera phones)
The webcam surprised us too, slow response and you needed the area well lit, but for under $20 we were pleasantly surprised. If you want a decent digital camera buy something else, if you want something for fun snapshots for email, or just to have on your keychain for a quick picture this will be fun.
Customer Review: This Camera is not worth using even if you get it for FREE
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this camera thinking that it would be nice to have a little pocket-sized camera to carry around for spontaneous picture taking. I was expecting the photos to be low resolution and low quality considering the price and size of the camera. The quality of the photos was even worse than expected. They are so poor I can't imagine how you would be able to use them for any purpose. I also found that the battery life is too short and the image viewfinder doesn't match the actual image taken requiring you to mentally compensate. The worst offense, however, is that the software that comes with the unit is pathetic. There is also zero support for the camera on the Phillips web page. I recommend staying away from this camera.Customer Review: Great for just fun photos.

I got this little camera in my stocking from my hubby this year because I am a professional Photographer and i love the color PINK so my hubby bought me a little pink camera for my keychain. When I opened It thought Yeah right It doesnt even have a flash but I thought well its still looks cute on my keychain so who cares. I begin taking lil shots and then downloaded my pictures just to see what they were like.
To my surprise they were way better than what I had expected them to be. Especially if you take pics outside they turned out good. But remember these pictures you take with this camera are just for fun photos not for like going to the Zoo or anything. Because there is no flash the area does need lighting.
