Product Description
The Thomson Digital Still Camera works exactly like a regular camera except for one thing...no film. Instead, pictures are stored in the 2MB internal memory that you then download into your PC using the lightning fast USB port. Store up to 32 high quality pictures at one time, and when you're ready to download, it's simple because everything you need is included: cables and drivers for both PC and Mac, plus ArcSoft PhotoImpression Software so you can crop, retouch, caption and print out perfect enlargements of your pictures.The precision glass lens system provides clear, sharp photos from as close as 18". Taking crisp digital photos is as easy as pointing the camera and pressing the shutter button. The automatic exposure controls do all the work. The Universal Serial Bus output allows for lightning-fast downloads to your PC of your favorite shots. Automatic flash settings allow you to capture low-light action. It can be turned off for situations where flash photography is prohibited. 10-second self-timer mode allows the whole family to get in the picture. Leave the camera in auto mode to automatically adjust to different lighting conditions for worry-free photography. Or, adjust the exposure manually for special lighting and/or background conditions. Put your creativity to work! Crop and resize your photos, add captions or color touches, make calendars, or print out perfect enlargements with the ArcSoft Photo Impression software.

Ya get what ya pay for.......2003-10-12

This camera is pretty much junk. For one I had to return it 6 TIMES! Granted the customer support was always helpful and always replaced it with no hassles but c'mon that just ain't right. For some reason it would just quit working all of a sudden. I'd turn it on and get nothing but a lil green light. That really sucked, especially since one time it did that, I had about 30 pictures from a trip I took to Florida and customer support said there was no way of retrieving the pictures. All those vacation pictures down the drain. Finally I did get a refurbished camera and they apparently fixed whatever problem was causing it to quit working for no reason, because I have had no problems with it not turning on since I got the refurbished. The problem I have now is that it used to hold about 32 pictures and now it can only hold 6! What the heck! Apparently the holding capacity of this camera steadily decreases with age. Now I pretty much just use this heap of junk for taking pictures of my fish cause i don't care if it gets dirty or wet. The pictures it does take are pretty low quality but they work OK for the internet since the images are 72DPI. I use the pics in my fishing website since I generally take outdoor pictures with it. Don't dare try to use it indoors, though, the picture quality drops about 80%. In conclusion I say, stay far, far away from this camera. Don't get it just because it's cheap. Save your money up until you can afford a good Nikon or something. And for the love of all that is Holy, at least get a 1 megapixel camera.

I got this camera as a wedding present a year ago. Trust me when I say that their year-warranty is just that. I turned on the camera the other day (had used it successfully two days earlier) all I got was a little green light. No display, nothing happened. Called support and they want a copy of the receipt before they'll fix it for free since I am right at a year. Well, it being a gift,I don't *have* a receipt. Grrr. I will not be paying ...to get this camera fixed. It's not worth it.

On the upside, if you keep good batteries in the camera, it works well. Things are a little bluish when the light is dim, and I have several pictures of my white dog that are just glaring but...most of the pictures I took with it turned out ok.
