The opinion in rec.photo.digital among people who have actually gotten
one is that they are good for their intended purpose (get kids
interested in photography), and the software is pretty good (cut and
paste features, Barbie backgrounds, etc.).  The camera has a
resolution of 160x120 and can hold six pictures before you have to
download to the computer.  Others have mentioned that you can get
older used digital cameras with better resolution for about the same
money.  Of course the software is older (and clunkier) and it's not
Barbie.
