SiPix StyleCam Snap Digital Camera

Pros: Price, light weight, decent software bundle, extremely simple to use.
Cons: No LCD viewer, questionable image quality.

The SiPix SytleCam Blink II Digital Camera is one of the lowest priced cameras on the market and certainly one of the smallest and lightest. I bought this camera for my wife, who is a complete technophobe, for $39.95 at Fry's the other day and hope the...

Pros: small, cool, cheap
Cons: fuzzy pictures, photos disappear

I was delighted when I got the camera. It was easy to use and the size made it very cool. The pictures were a bit fuzzy but not bad for $30.

But I took the camera on two day trips and on both trips I lost photos. I took a dozen or so pictures...

Pros: Good picture quality, small and light, easy to use.
Cons: Terrible battery life, no way to lock buttons, deletes pictures with no notice.

I was looking for a simple, cheap digital camera to take snapshots with, and this seemed to fit the bill. At first, I loved it--so light and small and easy to take with you, and surprisingly good picture quality in outside light (don't even try pictures inside). However, I soon discovered that it eats up at least one (non-rechargeable) battery a day, and when it gets low on battery power, it warns you by immediatly deleting all of your pictures. That's not good.

Save your money until you can buy a real camera.

Pros: None.
Cons: Poor construction, no flash, poor battery life.

Picked one of these up on my honeymoon in Venice, Italy and was disappointed from day one. The battery cover, and indeed the whole camera, is very cheap plastic. Consequently, the battery does not seat firmly and the battery loses contact when in the off mode. Without any removable memory, this means all of your photos are lost unless you have already downloaded them. Camera operates on one AAA, and battery life is really, really poor. I have returned and replaced this camera directly from the manufacturer three times, and now I have a camera that appears to work, but the software interface is so poorly designed it will not recognize the camera and I cannot download any photos. None of the online support helps, nor can SiPix technical support offer a solution. This camera also lacks a flash, so in more than half of indoor pics it simply beeps at you to indicate light levels are too low to take a picture. Very, very disappointed with what I expected would be a fun and very small little camera I could take anywhere in the world in a shirt pocket. Buyer beware.

Pay the extra 100$ more and you will be A LOT more satisfied...trust me I have it and I guess its ok for taking to school and stuff like that, little things but not if you are goign to a car show or something, also holds lots of pictures whihc is good

This camera is small,easy to setup on the computer,& very easy to use however you have to take pictures in bright lit areas to have the pictures come out half way decent.
