    5 Stars A bulge in your pocket that will make you happy 28/08/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages So easy to use, cheap, good quality photos

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly fat, rubber inserts somewhat fragile

    Digital cameras are everywhere these days, aren't they? Expensive ones, cheap ones, big lensed ones, ones with 6.6 megapixel resolution, some with TFT screens that are bigger than my first flat....where do you start? I really haven't ever needed a digital camera; I've always made do with disposable Kodaks and been happy enough with the (relatively expensive, after developing) results. However, last weekend I found myself at a polo match (not my usual cup of Pimms, it was a competition prize) and at the ceremony at the end I found myself feet away from Prince Harry and had no camera to hand ... more

    3 Stars Aiptek PocketCam 3M 17/12/2003
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Very reasonably priced, quality photos, comes with tripod and case.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow shutter speed, the flash reflects white if using indoors.

    I bought my PocketCam for £79.99, I was blinded by the 3 mega pixels, the tripod and the price. I somewhat regret the purchase now though. It was intended to be an upgrade from my 1 mega pixel Kodak digital camera, which was great but the picture quality was not up to scratch so I purchased this one and proceeded to take photos, it was during the day and they all came out great with no problems. The next time I used it was indoors in the evening the flash reflected off everything light or white so the pictures where terrible, after much adjustment with the settings I managed to take a few good ... more

    4 Stars Aiptek Pocket Cam 3M. Real Value for Money 13/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use, real value for money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages only 3M

    This is our first digital camera purchase and we found it really easy to use. Also, the price is excellent for a 3M camera. Perfect for my daughter to use at college with her photography course. Also great for any non-professional use, as good quality results for a 3M camera. We had no problems setting the camera up for the first use and no problems finding out what the different functions were. Only disadvantage is the fact that it is only 3M, but that is far outweighed by the overall value and quality. My neighbour's son, who is just ten, used the camera without any help, even though he has ... more

    4 Stars excellent little camera 09/06/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ease of use.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Difficulty in editing pictures + printing from software

    I bought this camera for under £80 including free rechargable batteries + charger.For that price i think this camera is a real bargain.It is simple to use and has all the features you would usually find on a far more expensive camera + 3 mega pixels to boot.Great pics inside + out. The downside for me is the software.Almost every time i try to access the e-manual through acrobat 4 it restarts windows for some reason.[If anyone knows why can they let me know please]. I am also having difficulty editing and printing my photographs using the software.It could just be me as i am not the best ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, came with goodies, doubles as webcam and data storage medium

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Image quality not good

    Bought camera from Lidls's for around £80. The package included quite a few goodies such as batteries, charger, plastic table tripod and some image editting software but I was disappointed in the quality of pictures produced. Maybe it is because of the size of the aperture or the quality of the lens but pictures taken in good light are slightly fuzzy and those taken in poorish light, even with flash, are just not acceptable. The flash "whites out" anything close enough to be discernible. The size, weight and robustness seem to be OK but it looks rather cheap. Well, it was cheap, i guess ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages compact multi-purpose easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no sound to video footage

    we bought this camera has we where fed up with forgetting to process films. we find it brilliant we paid 79 pounds and it was worth every penny the memory card which was included with mine took 27 pictures which is quite enough for the average day out. the picture screen display is clear and concise the only thing to remember is to check the flash is activated every time you switch batteries. this camera has saved me a fortune on film processing and has the same results has my sister in laws brand name camera which cost a hell of a lot more. the one big fault is that it is easy to turn the ... more
