waste of money

2008-10-06
I purchased this for my son, after buying one on constructive playthings for xmas that turned out to be junk. The first cars camera didnt even work so I took it back and exchanged for another... it wasnt even compatable with my Vista computer so I couldnt even download the software, you couldnt even tell when you were taking pictures, total waste and now I find myself looking for another one . . . ugh

More Chinese junk flooding the American market.

We bought two of these cameras for the grandkids, age 5 and 7. Sad to say, neither one of them got any pictures. One camera won't even turn on, the other one downloads pictures via their software and then erases them, everywhere! The pictures disappear. I can't say how the picture quality is because neither camera has produced any.

Great camera for a child

I recently bought the Hannah version of this camera for my daughter's 8th birthday. She loves it! We haven't really seen any of the problems that the other reviews claim, so maybe they were just unlucky and got a faulty camera. I've had that happen myself with a couple electronic devices I've purchased in the past, but I was able to exchange them at the places I bought them - and the replacement always ended up working fine (so it was just a manufacturing defect I'm guessing). This camera isn't quite 1 megapixel, so it doesn't take the best pictures ever, but what do you expect for a kids camera? Especially a camera that isn't even 1 megapixel - I think if you expect a camera that's less than a megapixel to have crystal clear pictures, then you need to stick with 35mm, or do some more research on digital cameras so you know what to expect and what you're talking about. My daughter loves Hannah Montana, and she also loves stealing my digital camera to play with. The fact that I found a starter toy camera with Hannah on it was the main motivating factor for me, because now she wants to play with her camera more than mine....so I'm not going to complain.

Less than one star

Unfortunately, I didn't do my homework on this one and got burned. This camera is a complete waste, I agree with the other poor reviews.

Not bad for a toy

Some people sure expect a lot for fifty bucks. Unless you've really trained your kid how to use a real camera (and can be sure they won't bust it) this is a good first one. You won't win any photography contests, but if your kid (or grandkid, as in our case) likes to point and shoot at anything and everything, he or she will have fun with this. But remember - it's a toy, and packs a lot more fun than many $50 do-nothing toys we've sent down the rathole.

Very disappointed

2008-06-25
I was so disappointed with this camera. We bought the Pirates of the Caribbean motif but it's the same camera. I was so excited to give this to my son for his birthday. He is always begging to use my expensive cameras so I thought this would be a great gift. And it would have been if it took a decent picture. The best pictures taken by this camera are so grainy they aren't worth keeping. Now after wasting $60 (yes we paid a premium because we bought it at Disneyland - the happiest place on earth) I feel the need to go out and buy him a gift that actually works. Please, don't waste your money by buying this camera.

What a waste of money!

The other reviews on here are correct. This camera was a piece of junk. I also have a eight year old that loves to take pictures. I thought this would be a great digital intro camera for him. The quality is terrible, the viewfinder is impossible to use, and the batteries barely lasted a week. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CAMERA!

A Recommendation

I was very satisfied with the service i received from this seller. . . I made three separate purchases from this seller. . . I was never disappointed. . . Everything worked properly and contained all the items. . .

Another piece of Disney "Cars" garbage

2008-04-27
My mom got this for my 5 year-old for his birthday. The main interest was that it is a camera, and of course it was a nice bonus that it had the "Cars" theme. It is absolute junk. We're currently looking to see if there are any other kid-friendly cameras that will take a half-way decent picture in a similar price-range. You'd be better off just bying a toy camera, at least there is no expectation that you'd get a picture you could make out. If you'd like to get your child another "Cars" toy, just get him/her a toy car. So far, I'd say those are the only "Cars" toys we have that are well made (assuming of course they don't have lead paint).

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
