Digital Dream l'espion digital camera

Advantages: cheap, small, reliable
Disadvantages: no flash

...quite some time for a digital camera and I kept saying that I would have to save up what little cash I had to buy one. Well I was wrong, and how wrong I was, while glancing through one of those magazines with more adverts than words, I noticed out of the corner of my eye “Digital Camera for £35”. You can imagine what, went through my simple mind at that point, yes you guessed it a big gasp and a pause to check if my heart was still beating. ...
...on this is a tiny digital camera for under £40. I always use the high quality setting though because the low quality are as they say pretty low quality although you are able to see what is going on (always a good thing with a camera). The camera also has a fixed focus and automatic exposure, I don’t know much about cameras but I would say this is quite essential to taking photos and this little thing has it, which can’t be a bad thing. ...

Advantages: So tiny and feature packed
Disadvantages: No flash so can't take pictures in poor light

...have found an exception. Digital dream have come up with just that, a digital dream. L’Espion must be the hottest gadget to have come to the streets in the last year. It is a wonder of design and a welcome addition to the camera market. L’Espion is a digital camera with a difference. It is the size of a matchbox with a relative price tag to match. Forget spending hundreds of pounds on a serious piece of equipment, spend just £40 and ...
...been dropping hints about a digital camera. Not being one for an easy life however, it was around that time when my workload seemed to explode. I was working 16-hour days and simply had no time for anything else. Now, unless you have money to burn, the purchase of a digital camera is going to be a big expense and something that is not to be done without the requisite research into what you need from a digital camera and the relative merits of one ...

Advantages: It's small
Disadvantages: It's crap

...Yes, it is a Digital camera - of sorts. Yes, it will take a harmless snap of your dog, the front door of your house or maybe even your car. Yes, it is small. Yes, it is cheaper than buying 10 packets of fags and will most likely not kill you as quickly. Are there more plus points? Well, frankly - NO Right, I will pin my colours to the mast. I am a Professional Photographer. I therefore have and expect certain standards of a camera. I do not ...
...remotest idea of even printing digital photos out - don't even look at much below one of the many excellent 2.1 megapixel cameras around. They start at around £175 (although I'd strongly suggest you look at the Fuji Finepix 2600z - several excellent review of that camera are on Ciao - see one by 'rayliu' and another by 'rdobbie' ) If you are looking for a good quality camera for around the price of a l'espion, but are not bothered whether it is ...

Advantages: Little and cute
Disadvantages: Hardley professional

My first digital camera was free with a stereo, which was nice. The thing is, I had no use for it. As far as I was concerned unless you could use it for your job or running a website then the only reason to have a digital camera is so you can put porn on the internet (I have often been told I have a filthy, cynical mind). So my big bulky digital camera was relegated to the drawer under the bed until someone told me about Ebay and then some poor mug ...
...I came across the Digital Dream L’espion camera on Ebay for £35 and with a recommended retail price of £39.99 this wasn’t bad. After winning the auction I am now the proud owner of a little digital camera that you would probably lose if you tried to use it for porn. Appearance ********** The camera comes in a box about the size of a CD, except deeper. The camera, nestled in the middle, looks for all the world like a novelty lighter. ... Read review

Advantages: Very easy to use, incredibly cheap, small and light
Disadvantages: Appalling picture quality

We've been using digital cameras for about five years now, and thought it would be nice if our three-year-old daughter had one. So we bought her the L'Esprit for Christmas. It was very cheap. And so it should be. The box claims a picture quality of 640 x 480. Beware; they lie like rugs. The quality on 'high' mode is roughly a third of this pixel size at 352 x 288 and the quality is comparable to a webcam (the camera can also be used as a webcam). ...
...as is common for cheap digital cameras, and the picture is very grainy. It will just about take photos indoors in bright light, but is much better out of doors, and has fixed focus and no flash. It has no LCD preview screen. Despite all these drawbacks, this little camera has a lot going for it as a toy for a small child. It's very small and light, and the basic camera controls are easy for even a pre-schooler. You press a button to turn it on, ... Read review
