Advantages: Good size Disadvantages: Problems installing package on XP
I bought this camera off a shopping channel on TV for £82 about 18 months ago.
It is a 4in1 Digital Camera, Digital Camcorder, Web Cam & a Dictaphone. It's quiet a light and compact camera and easy to use but the user guide that comes with it is very basic and doesn't tell you how to use all the features so we haven't used anything but the camera yet so we need to experiment with it a bit more.

Advantages: size an ease of use for taking pics Disadvantages: Getting the device set up.

The first part of which was no bother at all, I found the experience of taking the photos to be no problem at all. However when I went to transfer them the problems started.
