Not bad for the price.......2007-08-08

This is my second digital camera. My first was a 1.3 MP camera. I finally decided to upgrade because of some pictures a recently reviewed from my friend's 5.0 MP camera. I know not all 5.0 MP cameras are the same. I know you also get what you spend. This camera isn't that expensive so I wasn't expecting it to perform to the same standards as my friend's more expensive 5.0 MP camera. First of all I would like to say I bought this camera based on that it includes a waterproof case. I am a diver so this was the must factor to have when I was shopping for a new camera. Anyways, the camera is fairly descent. I REALLY like that the controls are extremely easy to operate. I played with a few of those expense cameras in the store and those things were a little to complicated to use. The camera is small. No lens cap. Doesn't support high capacity SD cards (BTW I used a 4GB SD card, it doesn't read it and it reformatted to 893MB and lost the original data on the card); this is good information for you tech people. I had hoped the picture quality would be nicer, but it's acceptable. I still need to play with a few more settings then perhaps I will get some better pictures. I like the video capture. Only negative about the video is that there's no sound playback on the camera; you have to use an external source if you want to hear sound. I thought I read a review this camera is a battery hog; I wouldn't be surprised. The batteries are holding up but I really haven't put this camera to a serious test yet. I am still upset over the SD card issue. The zoom function is pretty slow and sounds like it struggles to zoom. Sorry I haven't tested the underwater capabilities yet; I will eventually and update this review. Lastly, this camera does fairly well at night shooting. I was surprised with the amount of light captured. In all it's a fairly good deal for the price. Remember, you get what you pay for. If given the choice to buy this camera or choose another. I would choose this one again.

good feature set for the money. jack of all trade but master of none........2007-06-22

first thing first. this SUPPORTS SD cards GREATER than 1 gig.
for some reason the manual say that's the largest card it support.

I tried a 2 and 4 gig card and they worked fine.

I never had a camcorder before or any other devices like this so I can't really compare but I have a Cannon SD550 digital camera that takes video too

PROS:
- good feature sets for the price.. voice recorder, mp3 player, video player. webcam function
- good sound on mp3 playback
- nice small size for all that it can do.
- video recording is pretty decent quality for the file size
- can encode movies from a/v input with pretty good quality
- can output a/v to tv
- battery type are pretty common and can be had off ebay for $11
- standard mini usb cable connection to PC
- unit is detected as standard "mass storage" device so no driver is needed.
- can be charged via USB so no need for bulky AC adaptor.
- dvd resolution recording is a good filesize and good picture quality.
at 720x480 it can record up to 2:45 hours on a 4 gig card.
- has games in it.. if that's your thing.

BAD:
- Mp3 player function is not design well. some stupid details left out..
1) you can't fast forward or rewind while in the middle of the a song playing
2) while playing a mp3 song and you skip to the next song, it doesn't automatically play, you have to manually press play button for the song to play.
- wish there's optical zoom but due to the way/form of the design I can understand it.
- plastic casing.. metal casing would have been nicer but probably add to cost.
- joystick is kinda hard to use to small and sentsitive. when trying to push it in you end up pushing it either U,D,L or R.
- To use the voice recorder function u have to have the LCD screen and lens fliped out.. stupid. since this will make the unit awkard. why can't they let you record with the screen closed in it's compact form?
- one touch quick record button would have been great.
- Picture quality is not nearly as good as my Canon SD550 but that's not a good comparision base.
- with picture mode you can't talk really close macro shots.

Features I didn't try so I can't comment on yet:
- how long the battery last, didn't mind as I got an extra higher capcacity battery off ebay for only $11 shipped.
- webcam function.
- Theres a movie mode. and a AVI folder it makes on the memory card. I tried putting mp4 files of the simpsons, family guy int the folder and the unit didn't play it... I think u have to install their software to reencode those video to a format it can understand..
- video record quality is noticeably inferior to the video recording of my Canon SD550. BUT the file size alot smaller. (one minute of 640x480 video on the Canon SD550 takes about 130megs, while one minute on this thing is only 34 megs!) Quality is not that much worst but file size is alot smaller. the compromise is actually good so this is really a postitive thing.
- physical placement/position of the lens, you tend to accidently have your finger over the lense till you get use to it.

CONCLUSION:
- the unit have some usability issues software wise and I hope future firmware updates will address it.
- for the price and all the features of it, it's a pretty good buy.
- picture quality is not as good as standalone camera but still decent quality. if u want high quality pcitures go with a digital camera instead.
- good quality video recording at fair filesize.
- standard parts and accessories, PC connectors and batteries
- don't need to install the divers or anything from the CD.

Let's clear up the confusion..........2006-07-20

I am writing this because many people will be influenced by the review that Mike left, and it's not really fair to the camera.

Digital camera's that have built in memory will use that memory when there is no memory card installed. It is generally 8mb or 16mb, and is only able to store a handfull of pictures before it is full. The only way to get the pictures off the camera is to plug in the USB cable between the camera and computer and turn on the camera, and then move or copy the pictures either with Windows Explorer or with the camera software, if it came with software for managing pictures.

When you install a memory card, it completely disables the built in memory and the camera will only see the memory card. All picures will then be stored on the card. The advantage to the card is twofold. Mainly, you can buy a card that is much larger than the built in memory, so you can take a whole lot more pictures before you run out of room. You can then connect the USB cable and turn on the camera, and move or copy the pictures just like you did before. The other big advantage with the memory card is you can pop it into a card reader, and move or copy the pictures that way. The camera doesn't have to be turned on, thus saving your batteries. The card reader is often faster at transferring the pictures, too.

So the pictures you took with the memory card not installed should still be there, you just have to remove the card and turn the camera back on before the camera will see them...

There are a few camera's that will let you move the pictures in the onboard memory to the card, but the vast majority don't let you do that...

Hope this helps a few people out there.

Finding my pictures.......2006-01-01

I took several pictures with this camera and now I can't find them on the camera. Also, I put in a card and when I went to print the pictures, the machine I was using said no pictures were found.

Not Very Good.......2007-05-29

Well I didnt expect much from a camera as cheap as this one is but what I got was a disappointment none the less. This camera eats batterys like crazy, even when keeping it off when not in use it seems. The flash is 'iffy' and the light has to be perfect to take an acceptable pic. I dont even recommend this as a starter cam for kids. If you want a cheap cam go get a $9.99 disposable digital camera. That or save your money and spend another 30 or so dollars to get a better cam.

Pros:
-Cheap
-Has flash
-Easy to use

Cons:
-You get what you pay for
-Flash is not very good
-Very little battery life
-Just of little use/bad camera
-Picture quality is poor and grainy

Easy To Use.......2002-04-20

This camera may not be the best on the market, but it is the simplist to use without lacking features. It is easy to transfer files to and from your comptuer using the CompactFlash card reader for PC and the or the serial connection and the Kyocera drivers to directly read the card directly through the camera. I have had mine for a little over six months and have had no problems with it. This camera provides you with enough to have nice photos without the complexities of professional cameras.

Yashica 2100DG Samurai Digital Camera.......2002-01-20

I just brought a 2100DG and it doesn't come with the USB cable to hook up in the back of the computer. I can't download pictures until I find a USB cable compatible with this camera.

Yashica 2100DG Samurai Digital Camera.......2000-07-17

This camera is a nice high resolution camera but the focus leaves a lot to be desired compared to a Sony Mavica 83. I have had poor results so far with the macro feature as well. One other thing, is the lens cap does not show when youre using the optical viewfinder, allowing you to take shots of the "dark". With all those things considered, its still the best bang for the buck anywhere.

Yashica Samurai 2100DG.......2000-06-26

There are so many features, compared to your normal digital camera. You have the option of date/time, macro, red-eye reduction, distant view shooting, auto flash, fill flash, continuous shooting, digital output connector, video output connector, self timer, 3 modes of color (sepia, black & white, and color and so much more! It has a rechargable battery, a big LCD screen and is very easy and comfortable to hold. The pictures come out so clear and if you don't like them, you have the option to erase them off the memory card and start over. I would recommend this camera to anyone who really enjoys taking pictures.

An execellent buy!.......2000-06-13

This camera resembles a camcorder and that facilitates one hand operation especially when taking a high-power zoom.I like the idea of a rechargeable battery pack as compared to using AA batteries.The picture quality is excellent! In all I got 58 pictures in the best mode before the batteries began to run out. But if you've got a big hand, then gripping it and handling theh zoom switch could be a little difficult as your fingers might go well beyond the zoom lever!
