Good Points
It's small, It's cute, it carries many many many photos.
Bad Points
I cannot get the thing to work.
General Comments
What a great looking little camera! It's really cheap for the service that it offers. It is the same size as a match box, fantastic!
I rigged the camera up, took a couple of pictures then went to upload them onto my computer.
I took care to install the software exactly as described in the computerised user manual (the paper instructions are pathetic) and hey presto, Error Code 10. I looked up this problem on the net and could find people complaining about it, but only one solution, which was on the manufacturer's website. I followed their instructions and it STILL WOULD NOT WORK!!!
I emailed their customer support after many hours of fidgetting with the drivers, and received 1 or 2 line replies saying "have you plugged it into the USB port?" and foolish things like that.
I have given up on this camera, it seems so good, yet I simply cannot get it to work and shall have to take it back :(

Try to switch the camera on first then plug in the USB cable - this will cause the cam to turn off then back on again.... now you should be able to upload the pics...i've yet to get the webcam to work...
