from ThinkGeek Summary: As one of the other reviewers mentioned, the most enjoyable part of this product was the anticipation of getting it. Once you open the box, you might say "Ooooh" due to the quite tiny size of the camera itself. But then you take it out of the box, and it's all downhill from there. Strengths: Extremely compact size; geek "cool". Weaknesses: Poor construction, unreliability in picture taking (pressing the shutter button only works half the time, and the firmware is buggy enough the camera freezes), completely useless in all but the brightest sunlight, viewfinder doesn't even begin to accurately represent the image you'll end up with, etc... and image capture is apparently done line-by-line rather than all-at-once, so stuff at the bottom of the image is about 1/30th of a second older than stuff at the top, meaning anything moving will be skewed in the final image.
