Goodmans GDC 1388

have been happy with camera but now lost software cd. where to obtain for gdc1388

Delighted with this little camera - simple enough even for me! My only problem is that I've lost my Goodmans GDC 1388 instruction manual in a house move and need to re-program my computer. Can anyone help?

For a long time I was using my Goodmans GDC 1388 camera as a webcam. After a system restore and re-install of the drivers (the ones supplied on the CD) the camera no longer works as a webcam. I do remember that when used as a webcam the driver I had to select was something like WDM Still Image Capture (then some numbers like: 2000.0b). Does anyone know what/where/how to get these drivers. I assumed it was part of DirectX but I downloaded the new version and the cam still doesn't work. Any help would be great.

My daughter has used this Goodmans GDC 1388 Digital camera a few times and it's already failing. The flash and delete buttons do not work anymore. The pictures tend to be poorly exposed on the majority of snaps. It suffers from a lack LCD for preview shots.

very good cam but i need a driver for windows me plz plz plz can some one help me ?

If you're looking for a camera thats cheap, basic and simple to use, then the Goosmans GDC 1388 may well be right down your alley. But as far as features go, this model falls drastically short of the mark, which leads me to say- you can't buy a porsche for the price of a skoda.

Beginners and those who are being forced into purchasing by a crazed next of kin who's desperate to add 'digital camera' to their show case of un-needed items: go out and buy one of these, Serious photographers: run for the hills!

I did post the XP drivers for a Goodmans GDC 1388 Digital Camera on www.new-brighton.fsnet.co.uk , my site has now movered to www.new-brighton.f2s.com. I will keep the drivers there until I run out of web space. Hope it helps, Ray. PS use at your own risk. They work fine for me.

Good overall first digital camera. Easy to use and easy to download pictures. Good value for money.

This camera is a tidy little thing and very easy to use. But to take a good picture with it is very tricky (or I'm no good at it). They either come out too light or too dark. The flash is maybe to good?

My main problems with the camera are its insatiable hunger for batteries. I've put brand new Duracells in it and it lasted for 5 flashes before it complained the battery was flat. If you take them out and rub them then it's fine for another 2 shots or so.

My other gripe is the software which is poorly designed. There is no integration with Explorer which is not that hard as most other cameras I've used seem to manage it. On the box it advertised that you could use it as a webcam. The software that comes with it doesn't do it and I've read so many rants about the fact that it doesn't work that I begin to think it's true.

I guess you get what you pay for...

I have recently got Windows XP.

You will need new drivers
