Great little camera for 5 hours at a time.......2007-01-11

Bought this camera for my daughter. She loves it. Great for her taking photos around the house. Easily fits in her pocket and shoots good pictures. Holds lots of photos, 300 pictures at 320x240 or 70 pictures at 640x480. Easily uploads to computer. Very durable too. Only downfall is that it runs off a single AAA battery. It drains quickly in about 5 hours. At that time you have to download your pics or you lose them. Also battery drains even while turned off. Would recommend not putting batteries in until ready to shoot, and soon as finished head to a computer or laptop if on vaction, before they are gone.

Memories lost forever.......2005-05-19

I purchased this camera because it was cheap and digital. All I wanted to do was to take some snapshots of my college and friends before I went home for the summer. Little did I know that even though the camera was off, the battery was draining of power. By the time I came home, the battery had died, so I replaced it. Then I tried to download the software CD, which didn't work (Error 0, apparently, whatever that means). I then read the PDF owner's manual and learned that by replacing the dead battery, that all my pictures were erased.
This is a useless piece of junk! I'm so disappointed that I spent money on this. From now on, I'll just stick to regular film cameras. The risk of dead batteries just isn't worth it when it comes to irreplacable memories.

Almost useless.......2005-02-11

After purchasing this camera, I noticed that the battery was dying even without images in the camera. I thought my camera defective, until I discovered this comment on p. 8 of the product manual (which can be found on amazon.com):
"Even without images in the camera, the StyleCam Blink II will slowly draw battery power. To conserve battery power, after downloading images, remove the battery from camera.
Caution: The camera will use battery power when a battery is inserted. Remove the battery from the camera after downloading pictures or when not in use."
Enough said.

Fatally Flawed.......2004-09-20

I bought this camera for my son's 8th birthday. The picture quality is a bit better than I expected from such a cheap camera (about the same as a camera phone). It is very tiny and can store a lot of pictures. HOWEVER... this camera has flaw that renders it useless: The memory gets cleared at random. You spend a few hours shooting pictures and suddenly, without warning, "poof" all your pictures are gone. This can happen with an old or new battery, after 1 or 30 pictures and with the camera on or off. It is totally random.
I ended up buying my son a Fuji Nexia Q1 APS camera to replace this one.

Little.......2004-07-04

The camera is smaller in person than what it looks like in the picture. I'm having problems setting up the software on my computer. You can's see the pictures you've taken until you hook it up to your computer. I give it 3 stars because it's so small and can fit it in your pocket.
