Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
My first experiences with AGFA cameras were inexpensive, cheaply-made, but functional cameras. The ePhoto SMILE is not an exception. The fact that you can get a camera with a resolution of 640x480 with this many features for this cheap is quite amazing. However, before you start reaching for your credit card, remember a few things: 1) 640x480 is great, but the compression algorithm (makes the picture smaller in size - this does have an affect on quality) leaves much to be desired. You don't get really clean 640x480 pics out of here 2) If you are going to be using this camera to take pics of items to sell on eBay or other auction sites, or just to toss up on your homepage, this camera does quite nicely. 3) If you are trying to sell a product and want the photo to look professional, this is not the camera for you, check out a camera with an LCD display on the back and that does at LEAST 1024x768. 4) This thing eats batteries. Guess what, so do all digital cameras. Especially those with an LCD display on the back (this one doesn't). 5) It comes with everything you need to get started - camera, software, computer cables, carrying case, etc. You don't have to go out and buy anything else just to get started. Overall, not a bad camera for the price, but if you want a high quality camera, you need to expect to spend $200-$300 at the bare minimum.
