I bought this camera recently, for the money i payied for it, it was a good buy. I payied £18.99 plus p&p from the website www.savapoint.com.
The quality of the pictures that are taken with this camera are very good with three types of sizes, 1600 x 1200 (interpolated), 1280 x 1024 (optical), 640 x 480 (VGA). They all produce amazing quality pictures. The camera has no LCD screen to preview images or videos and has a 16mb internal memory, but does come with a good flash. Also has an expendable SD memory card slot to increase the memory, but I havent needed to use it.
The box includes all the software, USB cables, and drivers plus manual. The manual clearly sets out how to use and install the camera to your computer.
It has multiple uses, 4 in 1 - Camera, Video, Dicaphone, and a webcam. Though i do mainly use it as a camera or webcam the extra options are there for use when ever I want to use them.
The problems ive encountered is that the memory seemed to be wiped when I took it to a gig, possibly because of the batteries falling out, also the the catch that keeps the batteries in the camera broke, i feel that the space for the batteries is too small and this made the catch break. This is the only problem that I have encounted, I am quiet disapointed that it broke but have fixed with tape, and it does still works.
Overall the camera in my view for me was a good buy for the price of £18.99, but it is only a camera for people wanting to take casual pictures or use as a webcam, there is not the use for an advanced camera user. Apart from the problem of the break the camera still works very well, but again it was very disapointing when it happened.
