good for a first.......2004-07-15

I liked how that I dropped this camera on the floor to concrete like 5 or 6 times, and it has been hit by a basket ball and still it works!! The video's on this camera are pretty pixelized, they are not choppy though. And the fact that rechargable batteries dont work on it. YOU BETTER GET ENOUGH LIGHT THIS IS AN OUTDOOR CAMERA! And unless you have a VERY bright home, go outside with this, I must say you get a little more than what you pay for. GOOD CAMERA IF IT IS YOUR FIRST ONE!

Muy buena camara!! Buenas Fotos con algún costo de bateria.......2003-11-14

Compre esta camara en Julio y me pareció una excelente inversion, graba sonido (audio) hasta por una hora, las fotografias son excelentes, la unica observacion que tendría es que las baterias duran muy poco especialmente se se usa mucho el flash, usando el flash en todas las fotos, dura una o dos sesiones de fotos. Un precio excelente para la buena calidad de las fotos. Viene con un tripode para usarla como web cam, cable USB, y cd-rom. En algunas ocaciones me sucedio que tuve que resetearla. La vendi, no porque no me gustara, sino que actualice a 2MP.

SiPix StyleCam Deluxe.......2003-10-29

This SiPix StyleCam Deluxe was the first digital camera I ever purchased, although I have used a high-end Sony at work. I needed something really quickly and cheaply for an insurance claim and this camera seemed to fit the bill.

The picture quality is okay for capturing pictures for my insurance claim in either direct sunlight or in low light conditions with the built-in flash. The picture in low light conditions without the flahs is faded and full of noise. Color rendition is quite poor and focus is very soft. Also don't be confused by the 1.3MP rating. A 1.3MP picture taken by an expensive camera with a large lense will be much sharper than a 1.3 MP taken by this cheap camera.

The biggest gripe I have with this camera is not the resolution, but rather its absolute refusal to accept NiMH rechargeable batteries. It would give me at most 5 flashes before a set of freshly charged NiMH batteries dropped below the voltage cutoff point and the camera would then take no more pictures with the flash on. This camera absolutely DEMANDS fresh throwaway batteries, such as alkalines because it has a high voltage cutoff value.

This camera doesn't use a memory card. Instead it uses a built-in 16MB memory chip. The images will stay in the camera as long as there is sufficient battery power. A couple of times my camera froze and mysteriouly reset itself even when the batteries had plenty of juice left and all the pictures in the built-in 16MB memory were lost.

Installing the driver for the camera was not trivial on Windows XP. After installing the driver and included softwares and booting up as instructed by the manual, I plugged the camera into the USB port but the computer did not recognize the camera. Finally I opened up the two softwares and closed them again and then rebooted. Only then did the computer recognize the camera.

Although I gave it only 2 stars, one must keep in mind that I paid only $45 (shipping included) at J&R. Therefore, relative to the very low price paid, it was a decent camera, but in absolute terms it was a lousy camera. Overall I wish I had spent $100 or more to get a much better camera. But this was an emergency camera and I was not too picky about either its functionality or quality.

Not a good buy.......2003-10-13

On the positive side: I liked the additions that came with the camera (software, cables, etc.) It was also easy to use and set up.
On the negative side: the color was very bad. People's faces looked redder than normal, with blotchy whiteness where the light fell. It made my tan cat look greenish. Also, the pictures were way too sharp, which intensified the color problems. If you want decent pictures, don't get this camera.

You get what you pay.......2003-09-26

I thought this would be a good choice since it has 1.3 mp. It obviously isn't. The photos rarely come out. I have a white dog who i try to take photos of. With the flash turned off the photo is completely black. With the flash turned on the photo is flushed so white i can't tell what the photo was about. I am trying to return this as i speak. You get what you pay for. Don't let the mp fool you. You'd rather get a lower mp and pay a little more and actually have photos that turn out. The physical body of the camera does look attractive though.
