 Junk January 4, 2009
PinkSunset (USA)
It's junk..don't waste your money. I read the good reviews and bought this last year for my daughter and it was a total waste of money. It does not take even decent pictures. I knew it wouldn't take good quality pictures but I expected more then the very low grainy pictures that it did take.
 Great idea but the software is horrible. December 27, 2008
Reginald Roberts (Raleigh, NC)
The is a classic example of a great idea with horrible implementation. The software for this product is awful. It does not even work unless you use
an account on your Windows computer with Administrator privileges. Of course, I don't want my daughter using such an account on our computer.
Secondly, the software itself has many issues. It often cannot find the camera even though it is connected. I have to reconnect it. Certain buttons
and prompts that the manual says should appear, do not appear. Examples of these are the "save" button for loading the pictures from the camera and the password prompt for returning from "Hide" mode.
This product has, however, inspired me to find higher quality products like it.

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter who has been asking for a digital camera for awhile and was sorely disappointed. The camera is made of a cheap plastic and there is no review screen to see the pictures. It only holds a few pictures at a time and changing the default settings on the camera is the biggest pain. She did enjoy making the online journal with her own pictures, but frankly, it wasn't anything we couldn't do in word, and she was NOT impressed by the selections for the backgrounds or cards. Plus, due to the small amount of pictures the camera could hold, I was constantly uploading pictures and then deleting the camera so she could go take more.

My 11 year old received this for a birthday gift from a friend, who said she uses hers all the time I was not really excited because my daughter doesnt spend alot of time on the computer, she would rather be outside and active. But the first day she got it we had a blast, first taking the photos then putting the journal together, i helped her get it all downloaded etc, but afther that she was on her own...it is a really cool gift for about the 10-11 year old range
I dont know about younger children and olders children might like something a little better quality but for 10-11 year olds its perfect
 My girls love them!! February 13, 2008

I purchased one for each of my girls (9 &10). They just love being able to create their own journals with pictures of their friends. All and all I would say it is an ok first digital camera. I also had some problems with one of them and it was quickly replaced by Amazon. That is excelent costomer service.
