Customer Review: Even Duct Tape Didn't Keep It Together
Summary: 1 Stars
For Christmas last year, we thought this camera would be a great way to introduce our boys (6 and 7 years old) to photography. We were WRONG! To begin with, the battery door is located on the bottom side of the camera, and held closed with a sensitive spring operated door. Every time we turned around, "MOM! The battery fell out again." This shouldn't be too aggravating, but with the "volatile memory" you lose everything. Our kids were so aggravated a week after Christmas, that the camera fell out of favor with them. By the beginning of February 2009, they were asking for a replacement camera.
Then came the software. We chose this product because the software and drivers were mac compatible. WOW! Even with the appropriate software loaded, drivers updated, AND cable provided, we successfully were able to download 1 very grainy photo. Then guess what happens with the volatile memory... It ERASES! Great, now you are unable to try and download the images again.
And like I mentioned earlier, if you have a loose battery door, gravity will encourage the battery to fall out. We tried several brands and types of tape. Nothing kept the door completely secure. Nearly every time the camera powered on, all previous images were erased or even worse, we had to set up the camera all over again.
Additionally, the camera lens is so small, if little fingers made little prints on the lens, you're up the creek. It's very difficult to clean properly.
For the price ([...] at Walmart), I am selecting a Vivitar digital camera with better performance, quality and company pedigree.
Please, do yourself the favor and opt for quality over price tag.
