Good for Beginners
I bought this Concord Eye-Q Duo 1300 digital camera because I wanted a digital camera, but most of all I wanted a webcam and this camera had both.
I never had a digital camera before and this was perfect to just get my foot in. I am also planning to buy an actual digital camera that does a lot more than this.
PICTURE QUALITY :
The pictures turn out to be great and clear. If you just want reasonable quality pictures this is the camera for you. The pictures are only 1.3 mega pixels, so it produces what it promises. There is no optical zoom or auto/manual focus so you have to position yourself appropriately to get the best shot. It has a 2x digital zoom if you need to get a closer shot, but you will have to sacrifice some quality. This camera can also capture high quality, full motion 320x240 AVI video clips
BATTERY LIFE :
The two double A (AA) batteries last for about 175 shots (give or take a few if you use the flash), but overall they last a long time. This saves time if they had rechargeable batteries, but you have to pay for batteries.
MEMORY :
With the built in 7MB memory you can take between 14-17 pictures. I also use a 64MB MMC memory card and I can take up to 145 pictures total. The only down side is that when it saves the pictures to the memory it takes a couple of seconds. That’s all I needed.
BUTTONS AND OPERATION :
There are four major buttons on this camera which are:
1. Power - To turn on the camera
2. Menu - To toggle between the menu items
3. Select - To select menu items
4. Trigger - To take pictures
FLASH :
The flash works automatically in most cases when it is turned on. If you don't have the flash the picture are dark in dark areas. But sometimes when you really want the flash to work even though the lighting is good, it will not. So there’s not a lot of manual settings you can change.
