Digital-Camera Reviews

If you need a digital camera and you don't want to spend a fortune. You can buy this camera. It's great and even if it only works for a year or two at least you can get your money's worth.
Give it a try... I've had mine for about 4 months and it's still in great condition...

I agree with vu972. Terrible quality pictures. The flash makes them look washed out and when you are in broad daylight the pictures look like they were taken in a dark room. I'm shocked that they can advertise that it takes good pictures. I know this is a fairly inexpensive camera and I didn't expect a lot from it, but this doesn't even reach the standards to be worth $100.00. The menu is slow and freezes at times, there is a delay in the time between pressing the button and it taking the picture. You have to hold the button in and make sure you keep the camera completely steady in hopes that you will get the shot you were aiming for.

I bought this camera thinking it'd be great with its combo features. But as it turns out the quality of this camera sucks big time! When taking pictures without a flash, the picture looks dark and not white balance correctly (even though it's set to auto-white balance) then when I turns the flash on, it looks completedly washed out... Then when I tested the PC Camera mode, it works fine with its included software driver but the quality again sucks big time, it looks like I'm sitting in front of a computer in a dark room... and the adjustment in the software don't even work...
I'm putting the camera back on EBay the next day! Not Recommended! For $50 more, I'd have a lot better camera!!

Easiest to use camera ever. Everything needed right out of the box.
Point and shoot...great pix. Its so small and compact that I can take it everywhere. Finally a really nice camera that won't break the bank.Thank you DXG!!!!

I got the camera and it does just what I expected.
Great pictures! Very Clear!
Add 512MB of memory and I should be able to video
for a little over an hour.
Very much worth the money!!!!

I bought this reader a number of months ago because it was cheap and portable. I have never been able to get it working consistently on my Windows 2000 system. When I insert a memory card of any type, Windows 2000 tells me I have improperly removed a USB device from the system and the drive icons disapper in Windows Explorer. To get the reader working, I have to stop the USB device manually, then hope the system "refinds" it and adds the drives to Windows Explorer. When the reader IS found by the system, no problems, but getting there is a headache! At worst, the drivers send the UMONIT.EXE (USB monitoring) process pegging at 99% CPU usage and my system is unusable until I manually stop it. I have especially had trouble getting it to work with SanDisk OEM SD memory cards.

I have reinstalled the drivers and hardware more times than I can count, to no avail. I contacted technical support months ago and they sent me down a couple of silly paths that weren't helpful. I now see that the Dazzle website no longer has information for this product. Their knowledgebase only points to Pinnacle's website...

I can't vouch for performance with other Windows OS's, but if you have Windows 2k, BEWARE!!

Have had massive problems with two of these readers that I bought for work. One of them repeatedly disappears from my computer after I read and remove a card, and I have to reboot to bring it back. The other has somehow corrupted two Smartmedia cards and made them unusable. Zio supposedly has a firmware upgrade but so far has not actually sent it, nor is it available on their website, not to mention they said you can only install it with a Win98 system... Avoid this product, by all means.

This product works well when it works, but all too often it does not work. The Win2k driver, even when installed carefully, often fails to recognise media. I am a computer professional, and I tried various tactics; I can now make it work, but it is complicated, fiddly, and ridiculous. Phone and email support are useless (gave up after 45 minutes on hold on the phone, even when email questions are accepted and acknowledged no reply ever arrives). Avoid this product.
