Total Junk Camera 
2008-02-08
I bought this to take pictures of household construction work, Torture to work the tiny joystick button. Kills your batteries after about 3-4 flashes, pictures are of poor quality on any setting, distance and or set up once you figure out how to work the buttons. I read some reviews on this that stated this was a poor camera, but I figured for what I was going to use it for why not. Wrong choice, DO NOT waste a single penny on this item, if someone try's to give you one for free, they do not like you. How a product this bad actually made it into production is ridiculous. Just to rehash "DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA" it is total garbage.

This camera broke after 30days.
the flash refused to work even after changing batteries, changing battery brands...
Not worth it!

It's cheap, but that's where the positives end. Very poor picture quality just makes the size meaningless. Yeah, it's very small and lightweight, but the idea of a camera is to take pictures...and in several different conditions, the pics we took with this camera were grainy. No matter ho wmuch light we had, still grainy. Very disappointing. I used it for a while, then sold it!
Horrible 2007-09-24
Don't buy this. I saved up for it during my freshman year of college because I really wanted a camera and I was so disapointed when I received this. I recently gave it to my 8 year old brother to play with. Its too crappy to pawn off to someone on ebay. Dont waste your money. Eats batteries before you can even take a picture and the flash feature is terrible, along with the quality of the pictures.
This product sucks!!!! 2007-08-11
Do not..I repeat... DO NOT waste your money on this thing..it is garbage!!!! you have to carry around a stack of batteries just to take more than 5 pictures. There is a delayed second flash so unless you tell everyone your taking pictures of to wait for both flashes your going to get a lot of blurry faces. The picture quality is disgusting and impossible to edit. You can't take any close up pictures with the flash on because all you would see is hair and eyes.. I recently used it at a wedding and tried to take decent pictures from 3 rows away but even that failed to produce anything nice. When I took some pictures outdoors everybody including the background was blue...please save your self the frustration and opt for a more better quality camera..
JUST BOUGHT IT AND LOVE IT!

The DS6688 has an optical viewfinder for greater clarity of use, 1.5" (3.5cm) TFT color preview screen, a "non-limited", Audio-Video Interleave (AVI) movie function with 2x digital zoom, and - as you'd expect from a digital camera made by a company with Oregon Scientific's technological expertise - autofocus, automatic exposure and white balance, flash that can is user selectable on/off or can be set to fire automatically whenever light conditions dictate. Photo quality is user-selectable (fine, normal or basic), and the 16Mb internal memory can be enhanced with the addition of an SD or MM card. Not only that, but it's also possible to copy pictures across from one memory to the other. The DS6688 comes with its own docking station and is compatible with all up-to-date operating systems.
Highly breakable, confusing P.O.S. 2006-03-17
We bought this for our 12-year old in December 2005 and just threw it out after taking 0 acceptable photos with it. We already have 2 other digital cameras in the house and have used them extensively for two years so this was not a user problem.
1. 2 crucial buttons fell off in one month. We used a paper clip instead.
2. All photos we've taken have been orange-cast, dark, and blurry.
3. The on-off switch is malfunctioning. It's almost impossible to turn the camera off, which means the batteries run down quickly.
4. The user manual has no information on how to correct image problems. We have yet to find any on-line help.
5. Buttons on the camera are tiny and hard to use. Button functions are extremely difficult to figure out unless you have the manual on your knee. Not an intuitive design at all.
We had high hopes for this camera and bought it because of a few good reviews and the camera's sleek design.
Don't waste your money on this.
Great little camera, but not worth $100

I like this camera, and it is very cute. I love the fact that it is "the size of a credit card", and it fits in most pockets. The problems that I have with it, though, are these:
1. It takes the flash about 10 seconds on average to get ready
2. When the flash is ready, it isn't very effective and usualy makes the picture worse
3. The pictures end up being blurry unless you keep your hand perfectly still
4. The button that you move around to look at pictures and do different things with can be easily broken and isn't very manageable
These are the four problems I have with this camera. I got this camera because it was cute and small. If that is your reason, you can't get much better, but if you want to take nice pictures, I suggest getting another brand.
This is a great camera 2006-02-04
I have no idea what the other people are ranting about. Sure, this is not the top of the line camera, but hey, you didn't pay a lot of money for it, either. You get what you pay for. And for what I paid for, I'd say I got a pretty great deal. The camera is really portable and takes great picture, now I really can't go anywhere without it.
Not worth the purchase 2006-01-24
I figured a camera this small would be somewhat limited on battery life. With the flash on, I'm getting a dozen or so photos per pair of standard Duracell AAA batteries. I've had problems getting the camera to recognize a 128MB SD card - I keep getting a generic "file error". Usually wiping the card fixes the problem. But.. make sure you get a card. If you have the camera hooked up to a PC/laptop via the USB cable... there go your batteries. And since there's no plug for an AC adapter, no chance of driving the camera from the wall socket. The stick on the back that is used for zoom and menu navigation is set so close to the case, you have to get your fingernail under it to move it without pushing it down (which selects the menu option you're on). Picture quality is awful. You might get a 3M photo, but the color is horrible on auto white balance. Time to take a photo after you push the button... let's just say that if your target isn't completely stationary, your photo will be too blurry to keep.
