Review 1 of 15

Summary:

Bought this camera when it first came out. I use it for two things primarily... 1) To take photos for use on a retail web site and 2) To take photos to use on family web site and for emailing to family. I find that the camera does what I need for these needs but I will probably upgrade to a higher resolution camera in the near future. I especially like the need for no special media and that it stores images in .jpg format on regular 3 1/2 inch floppies.

Strengths:

.jpg format floppy disk image storage

Weaknesses:

resolution

Similar Products Used:

other lower resolution cameras

Customer Service:

not needed
