Have been searching for a basic digi cam for a while to take some shots on days out etc...when I saw this was on for a good price i thought i'd take a chance despite reading a couple of dodgy reviews elsewhere....i really wished i hadn't.

The software wouldn't load from the cd as i was setting the cam up, the fisrt thing that came up was a message saying i needed to repair it- not a great start> once it finally installed the pictures would not transfer from the camera to the software on the pc at all, despite all efforts and trying another pc aswell it wouldn't do anything.Whether the fault was on the software or in the camera this isn't inspiring the fisrt time you try and use it...its called an easyshare...it was more imposible to be honest.

Add this to poor customer service and the cam is now now on it's way back.

I can't recommend it at all or the customer service that was offered.My advice is to avoid it all costs.There's a reason it's cheap!!
