Poor quality - I have to return it! 
2004-08-15
I did't expect much since the product description says "it's made of plastic". But it should at least work!! At the fist use, it took me quite a while to load the film (I had no problem loading cameras before). Then I happily took about 10 pictures, and found the film winding clog did not work and the shutter could not be released since the film was not winded correctly. I tried and tried and finally gave up. This thing is so hard to use and so easily broke down.
BTW, the camera I received did not even look like new - there were scratches on the outside. I don't know if it had been returned by other people. Anyway, I'm so dissappointed at its poor quality!
Lots of fun!

I've had this camera for a few years, and it's great fun. The editorial review is accurate- don't expect great pictures, but almost any subject can become strangely compelling when captured by this camera. My own favourite photos came from a nighttime visit to a carnival- the pics were surreal!
I've found that being within 3-8 feet of the subject is best, and use film that's rated to your light conditions. The big secret to successful photos is to move the camera strongly while you are taking the picture (or have your subject moving). The resulting photos are all slightly different, off centre and skewed.
The more you experiment, the more fun you'll have. Just remember to warn your developer that these photos are going to come out a little 'differently' than usual!
Nice idea, but not worth it 2008-03-15
I thought this camera looked like a fun idea worth giving a try. It's definitely not worth it. It came with a roll of film that I used in all kinds of settings to see what the camera is good at: indoor, outdoor, near, far, etc. Not a single frame came out in focus. And one of the four lenses always had a very strong yellow tint to it, so even if the shots had been reasonably in focus, I still would not have wanted to keep any of them. I threw the camera away after one use because it wasn't worth wasting any more film.
I finally gave it away...

I purchased this camera along with supersampler at the same time. Both with 4 lens camera, the picture quality on action sampler turned out so poor that I only played with it for one roll of film, then put it back to the box, and finally, gave to my friend(cuz she wanted a toy camera)...well...it does have a fun outlook, but if you really wanna enjoy a 4 lens camera, I would suggest to buy a supersampler, at least the quality is better.
A great little camera 2006-05-30
This camera is just fun. There are websites that will provide you with some fun ideas with it. We took it outside and tossed it to each other once we pressed the button. We also just walked with it and aimed it at our feet.
The kids who are ages 5 and under when we bought it played with this and didn't break it so it was sturdier than it might seem. It is easy to use and fun.
The only comment I'd make is that it goes fast. Once you push the button you don't have time to blink before it's over.
Enjoy.

The camera is a great novelty item. If you are looking for some fun, unfocused, pictures in the outdoors...this is your camera!
Cool - but trade up for the Actionsampler Flash 
2004-12-11
I picked up an Actionsampler when it first came out in 2000 or so. As everyone says, and the Amazon review confirms, the shots are lo-fi and junky. It's fun if you're into that look, and it does its job well in bright sunlight.
In my humble opinion, you should spend the extra scheckels and trade up to the Actionsampler Flash. It has better lenses, better exposure, and a fierce 4-step sequential flash. With that, you can "sample the action" at any time, day or night.
