Depends on expectations.......2003-05-20

I bought two of these little cameras, in part because they were cheap (I paid around $$ each) but mainly because they were so small and light I could send one in a bubble-pack envelope to a pen pal in India (smuggled, in other words) and we could exchange pictures via the Internet.

When reading reviews here and elsewhere, it almost sounds as if there are two cameras in question. The biggest problem seems to be battery life, but everyone is vague about this. I tested mine in the following manner: I put in a fresh alkaline AAA battery and took 24 shots in "high" resolution (640x480) at 8am. I then checked hourly until 11pm to see if the pictures were still in the camera. After 28 hours, I plugged the camera into my PC and saved the pictures to a file successfully.

While the software says "copy," it apparently means "move." The pictures were no longer in the camera following downloading to a file. So I immediately took 24 more. Same battery in the camera. After this, I no longer checked by turning on the camera. I hooked up at 75 hours and was able to view the pictures as a slide show, which didn't remove them from the camera. Same story at 110 hours. That satisfied my needs, so I checked no more.

This is in stark contrast to other people's experience, so I assume they either left the power on, or have defective cameras. Since current drain would be a design function, I suspect the former.

As for picture quality, it's okay for snapshots where you just want a record. Not unlike a very cheap film camera. I did notice some blurry areas that don't look like lens problems. Maybe the surface the image is focused on isn't flat. I was able to get decent pictures without much attention to holding the camera in a special way, but I know how to depress the shutter without jerking, which is the key. I was even able to take successful one-handed "palm shots" when I didn't want to be seen taking a picture.

So if you have the option of returning a defective camera, and don't expect salon quality (I could enlarge to almost 5x7 in my computer), it's a neat little cheapie camera.

Doesn't work.......2003-03-05

I agree with the previous reviewer's comments. The Stylecam Snap didn't retain the shots I took despite a brand new battery. I returned the product for a refund.

Barely a camera.......2003-02-18

This thing is so small and cool I had to order it.
Pros:small, cool, cheap, downloads to PC fast and easy.
Cons:
1)Twice I lost all the photos I'd taken, even though battery was good and even with this new improved model that has a capacitor to keep this from happening.
2)Uses quite a few batteries, but still acceptable.
3)You MUST hold the camera VERY still.
4)It always defaults to indoor photo setting. Each time you want to take an outdoor photo you must go thru the menu again to outdoor(6 steps).
5)This camera never really takes a 'good' indoor or outdoor shot. Always too bright or dark or grainy or white.....
6)I got it mostly for my kids but they just can't hold it still enough. Then I decided it would be for me. 1 in 10 photos would be OK. I didn't keep a single photo I took.
I returned it in the end. Too bad cuz it was so nice to carry the thing around in my pocket. It really is the size of a cracker.

Cheap Camera.......2005-04-27

I've only had this camera 2 days, the first thing i notice is that the camera is a bit faulty when it comes to battery's even with fresh ones in it sometimes reads them as empty and turns itself off,

also the software is a pile of crap, i cant get the camwizard to install on xp, which means i cant see any pics i've taken and i cant upload them

battery, software bugs in camera.......2003-12-23

Take some pictures
After 1 hour they are lost
If I run to my computer after taking a picture, sometimes just says program error

Too much fun........2003-08-16

I bought on of these cute cameras on ebay for 19.95 for the heck of it. What a fun little camera. I've had no problem with
batteries, taken numerous pictures, and made a bunch of short
avi movies. It really does great outside, not so good inside. But for the price what a load of fun. A truly great toy for the
youthful camera bug and a good bit of fun for the grown up folks, too. Don't let anybody sour you on this really quite amazing little camera.

Can't give it away because its inability to focus........2003-08-06

I asked several co-workers if they would like to have the camera for free. Unfortunately, they have already heard about the problems of the camera and no one wants it. The biggest problem is that you need it to be perfectly still when taking a picture, or it will be blurry. I am unfortunately unable to keep that still. I ended up buying a new Minolta Dimage XI which takes much better picutres in all kinds of situations.

I would avoid this camera at all costs.

A waste of money.......2004-10-01

I got this camera as a gift and while I first was very excited about having a camera which is so small you can take everywhere, I am now deeply disapointed. I guess I was very stupid to expect a Dimage Xg-like performance from a cheapo camera. The only condition where the camera seems to make somewhat decent photos is in cloudy daylight.
Don't even dream about making photos with the flash. Either under- or overexposed. Generally I am "throwing" 9 out of 10 photos away. The camera has serious exposure problems, the pictures always come out fuzzy and always a little "blue-ish". Recycling time is decent if the flash is off, if the flash is on (even if you did not use the flash - flash set to automatic) it takes *forever* to take the next shot.
If you look for a snapshot camera which you can take anywhere, buy a disposable film camera, you will make much better pictures with it.

Nice compact camera.......2004-06-25

I bought one of these last September, and really like it, as do my friends. It's very small and compact, and takes decent photos, enough for most snap happy people. I agree about the night time stuff. I dark light, the camera has to be a certain distance away. Too close and everything is white, too far away, and there's little to be seen, but you soon get used to it.

Very good in sunlight, although it does put a hue on the picture that some people might find annoying, but I kinda like it. Works very well with Mac OS X and iPhoto, and also compatible with XP without drivers but don't know what software is like.

A review.......2004-04-26

I bought this camera as a gift for myself on a trip to Cardiff. It was only 60£ on sale(Gadgetshop). And while it's not a professional camera, it's very nice for snapshots. I have found that if you shoot into the sun, it flairs badly and the sensor is overwhelmed in direct sunlight, But the camera does take reasonable photos. The camera suffers jpeg compression problems on large areas of similar colors, But on complex scenes they do not appear. The flash is only effective up to 12 feet. Night photography is not what this camera is designed for. But I like the features, The camera has a video output that can perform a slide show in PAL or NTSC formats, and uses SD/MMC flash memory. This contrasts with other less than 100£ cameras that need the batteries to maintain the photos. The movie mode is also a quite nice feature even without sound. And best of all the Camera does not require any drivers for a Mac using OS-X. One other note, the lens displays no noticeable barrel, or pincushion effects and no noticeable unsharp areas along the edges of the images.

Great.......2005-08-04

I've had this boom box for 8 years and it still works! The casette player is awesome and the cd player is too. The AM radio part is a little weak, but I never use it anyway. It's pretty easy to move around because it isn't really heavy. It's a great buy.

All the bass you'll need at a good price........2001-02-24

I was shopping around for a one-piece boom box that had more than the average amount of bass response. I had a Sony which sounded OK, but didn't have very much on the low end of things. I didn't need a remote and I didn't have the money for a more expensive machine like the JVC Kaboom series. This one seemed to have met my need sperfectly and had all the features I wanted, including a digital AM/FM tuner. The bass response is wonderful. Even at the first of the two bass boost settings this thinng just rocks. Any music will be enhanced by this machine, and it adds bass without making the madrange boomy as well. There's a surround sound feature on this machine which is to me just a gimmick at best. I'm only giving it four stars instead of five because the tuner, especially on AM is not very sensitive. If you want to listen to AM on this thing, you'd want to get something like the Select-A-Tenna or similar AM loop antennas that can sit next to your radio. The cassette deck plays well, but the recordings are a bit noisy, due to the use of permanent magnet erase heads, but I'm sure that's pretty standard on any boom box these days. Overall, though, it's a very fine machine for those who do want full rich sound on a budget.

If you can't get this drive to work on your computer its probably because its an Intel processor, buy AMD =).
