I got this camera as a free gift for agreeing to a trial membership, so I'm not exactly devastated by the suckiness of the resulting photos. Think cheap camera phone. 640x480, colors off, blown highlights, that sort of thing. In no way shape or form would you want this thing to be your primary camera. But as a kid I would have loved playing with it, and as an adult, I'm willing to throw it permanently in my purse for snapping any weird scenes I happen to run across, or to have in case I need to document a traffic accident. And if it gets broken or lost ::shrug:: It doesn't show up as a drive when you connect via USB, so you have to use the included software to transfer pics. And it's not worth the average on-line sale prices; don't pay more than $15. Better yet, get it for free like I did. I did have a lot of fun channeling Bart Simpson in that one episode where he sends away for the spy-camera. "Where's my spy camera? Is it here yet? I want my spy-camera!"
