I bought two f these for my kids and they love them. They have great picture quality and they figured out how to use them on their own!
 Cool little camera January 7, 2009

I got this camera for my 6-year-old grandson for Christmas. Now his friends want one. He loves it and so does his family. I opened it before I wrapped it up so it was ready to go and he was snapping pictures all day. They haven't tried the video yet. It is such a cool shape and easy to carry and take pictures on the go. A great first camera for little hands and a great second camera when you don't want to take a larger, more expensive camera with you.
 Just consider it an outdoor-only camera January 5, 2009

We've been VERY happy with this camera. We bought two, one each for our 5 and 7 year old kids. Pictures taken outdoors look INCREDIBLE. It may sound silly, but I do believe that outdoor pictures taken with this camera rival just about anything out there. I'm saying this as a rather critical DSLR owner -- you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference between pictures taken outdoors with this camera vs those taken with my DSLR. We bought with the expectation that it would be of limited value indoors, and that's proven true. Indoor pictures are fairly horrible. Flash doesn't expose right when used, and without the flash the pictures are grainy and underexposed. Video seems ok, though I realized after taking a bunch that it was on a lower quality setting. Sound quality of video was rather bad.
All in all, if you consider this a no-frills, outdoor camera that can be used in a pinch to take video, you won't be disappointed - it's more than worth that money (very small and light, as well, so even though I bought it for the kids I plan on taking it on some overnight hiking trips). Four-to-five stars on that front. But if you think you'll be able to take indoor pictures, you will be SORELY disappointed. Only one-two stars for indoor pics. Since we expected that upfront, I think a 3-star rating is appropriate.
A great purchase!!! December 27, 2008

We bought this for our 3 1/2 year old son, who kept wanting to take our digital camera from us. He LOVES it!!! I especially love that you can plug it into the wall to charge the battery, instead of hooking it up to the computer to charge. It came with a cable/usb cord, so the same cord plugs into your computer and into the tv...this makes me happy, because I am constantly trying to find which cords go to which product and trying to remember how many cords there were. The resolution is pretty good, not as good as our Kodak...but works for our son. Of course he is still learning how to take pictures, so most of his were blurry. With that being said, my husband and I took a few pictures and they all turned out pretty good. There's also a flash to help in poor lighting. All in all, this was a great purchase for us and I am glad we didn't go with the Fisher Price camera, this will last him a lot longer.

Yeah, charged the camera overnight. Nothing. Won't turn on at all unless plugged into the charge cable or USB. Similar experience as the other reviewer. Will give it one more try with an exchange but I'm not very pleased. Daughter was thrilled to have her own camera for Christmas, but now she gets to wait for the exchange process. Way to go Argus / VisionTek / Chinese manufacturer.
