Review 1 of 4

Summary:
It was a great camera when it came out but now I wouldn't recommend it. Go buy the 200. It does have way too many reds (not that auto levels in photoshop can't fix that) and I have had some serious troubles with it crashing on several OS 8.x computers. That actually is how I found this page, looking for help with that.Outdoor the photos (and this is at low quality) don't impress me much unless you want to get all impressionist on me. See the photo below for an example.If you can get it for the $120 like the guy above then you're set. But to get extra pictures, better quality, and the ability to immediately review and delete on the fly I'd definately spend a few hundred more bucks.

Review 2 of 4

Summary:
I got the Apple Quicktake 150 used and cheap from the company I work for, we do leasing. It is my first digital camera and for the price it's great (around $150). The images are ok but the best thing about this camera is that its EASY TO USE!! If you want a point and shoot digital camera this is as easy as it gets, almost all images I have taken come out the same, grated that its only 640x480 and the color isn't as sharp as the megapixels of today, but for the beginner it works out nicely. I have used several newer cameras and for the price, I'm glad I didn't pay the BIG BUCKS.Pros: Easy to use, Nice feel and handling, Great flash - nice even lighting, Battery Life is longCons: No LCD, Only 16 pictures in High-Res, No upgrade pathYou can see pictures from this camera at the site below.

Review 3 of 4

Summary:
The Apple Quicktake 150 is a remarkably easy to use camera with point and shoot simplicity. The biggest flaw in the Quicktake is that because it is so simple to use it doesn't have any of the complicated extras required by an avid camera user. The quicktake has no built in zoom feature other than a practically useless snap on closeup lens and no lighting controls. It can takes pictures that are 640X480, 16 million colors 32 at low quality and 16 at high quality. The serial interface also means that there is one more port that you have to keep free on your computer. The Quicktake is usefull for the home user who is just taking pictures of the family dog but for the more avid photographer the Quicktake is far too limiting.

Review 4 of 4

Summary:
The quicktake 150 is a great camera for the price. Its a discontinued camera at this point (it is replaced by the quicktake 200) - but if you look around, you can find one for under $200. I picked up mine for about $120.00. The camera features 640x480 resolution with 16 high-quality or 32 low-quality. THe difference between the quality is the way it compresses the images. Low quality has a lot of color banding in it. High quality is much better. outdoor shots have great color and clarity.. Indoor shots tend to have too much RED in the skin tones and the pictures need to be re-touched with a photo editing package. Some drawbacks are that you can not delete individual photos from the camera. You must takr 16 or 32 and then transfer them to the MAC or PC with the included software and cable. All and all, once you transfer the photos and re-touch them, the quality is one of the best I have seen for a camera in this price range.. considering the camera cost 400-500$ when it came out..
