Hi, I have seen a credit card sized pink digital camera and the specs are (copied and pasted...)

Specifications:

300k Pixel CMOS
640x480 (hi) or 320x240(low) resolutions
104 Low res images or 26 Hi-res
Image compression mode for storing 208 images (2x Compression)
10 seconds self timer- for taking group pictures with you included
Continuous shooting mode - takes 10 pictures per second!
Built in rechargeable battery lasts up to one week
Automatic exposure and white balance
All software and cables included
Item Weight(in kg): 0.2

Can anyone tell me if this is going to be really naff? I have no idea about these things but thought someone may be able to help.

Thanks

640x480 max res? Hmm u wanna go for better than that if u want nice detailed pics.

I agree with Kinetic, also I wouldn`t go for one without optical zoom.

Yeah, it's REALLY Naff: a lot of mobile phones have better specs than this

This is probably no better than the camera you get on your mobile phone.

It is probably a "fun" camera for taking pictures at parties and evenings out (if it has a flash).

What they call hi res (640 x 480) is the lowest of the low res nowadays.

I would not bother with it . Try to get a semi-decent camera with a "name" make (nikon, canon etc).

I searched the web and guess this is it.

Two things i notice:

First it does not seem to have a flash, so only outdoor pictures possible

Second, it says rechargable only via a USB port. So you have to be near a PC or laptop to recharge it. Hardly convinient.

Forget it.
