Buyer Reviews : Yea.. its a pretty good camera... for outdoors... for indoors and poor lighting... its not all that great... its more like a webcam quality picture... dimmed... faded... blotchy... but its good enough to tell who's who.. in the picture... sort of.. heheh.. the software.. was a little weird.. i managed to get the program to load properlly after a couple of tries.. i think some people who arent familiar with their pc will have problems.. make sure you install all drivers into your computer before you hook up your camera or things just gets weird on you or freeze up your computer... for a few secs... then.. restart your computer.. log back on.. and plug in your camera... then.. windows will detect your camera... make sure the installation cd is in your cd-drive and windows will install another or install the drivers again... everything works fine and dandy... the thing id like for them to improve is a little lense cover that i can either twist to open and close a shutter or something... i keep the camera in my pocket and pocket lint is all over the lense... i can see it... so i have to blow on it to get some of the lint off... i don't think it effects the picture but it bugs me to see lint on my lense... another thing id like them to improve is the ability to store the camera with out taking the battery out.. cause the camera drains the battery to retain the memory for the picture.. maybe i can have a switch.. or something.. so i don't have to always take the battery out... or have memory that doesn't erase when i take the battery out for more than 30 seconds... i like it so far... o yea.. if its too dark outside or to dim indoors... when u try to take the picture it will beep twice telling you that it won't take a good picture so it won't take it... if it can take a picture with good lighting it'll beep once... that way i don't waste my time on deleting bad pictures... Hope this helps
