Decently Cheap

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you already own a good digital camera, make this your stunt camera.
Review: Having fun taking impromptu pictures with the Handspring Treo 600 PDA/Phone, trying to print them out later on my Canon i900D photo printer proved an ugly experience. The 640x480 pixelated mess barely look fine on the monitor, and when printed out,...

Decent Photos, But WHOAH, Poor Quality

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you are counting pennies (literally) fine, but if you can scrape up some more, look around. There are much better cameras for only a little more.
Review: Intro:

With all the talk of Sony, Canon, Fuji, Olympus, Nikon, and the other major camera players today, you usually don't think of Gateway. This is Gateway the computer makers I'm talking about, who a while ago, decided to get into other...

The worst electronic product I have ever bought.

Date of Review:  Jul 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: Do not buy. For that matter, I would be suspect of buying any Gateway product, given my experience with this product.
Review: I would have done better to purchase a toy camera. The pictures it took would have been about the same and it would have saved me the aggravation and time trying to get help and repair service from Gateway.

This was my second digital...

A decent digital camera at a decent price.

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: For an inexpensive camera you can tote around anywhere and it will last and take great shots, this is the camera for you.
Review: This is a pretty simple camera that my husband bought me about three years ago. He got himself a bigger one with more features for his job and for us, but I found it just too much camera for me. On top of that, it took it's small videos in Quicktime...

Not all that bad

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: The camera is okay for those who want a high-resolution camera with both digital and optical zoom without spending much more than $100.
Review: I bought this camera on sale for $99, then read the reviews very soon after and started having regrets. But for what I paid, the camera has worked pretty well. Many reviews refer to battery power issues. I have been able to take more than 30...

Gateway's Awful Camera

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2004
Review: I just wish I had read some reviews on this camera before I bought it. I bought it off a TV ad. About $300 with a $100 rebate. I should have known it was too good to be true. It takes terrible pictures, interiors are always way too dark, grainy and...

Worst Camera in World, Bad Customer Service

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2004
Review: Worst camera ever. Customer service is worse yet.
My card(s) went bad in the camera. I took 450 photos of the Terra Cotta Army in Xian and 200 of Paris. I will never see those photos thanks to this piece of junk camera.
Photos show in...

Great bargain camera

Date of Review:  Oct 22, 2008
Review: I've had this camera for years and have never been disappointed. It still takes great, clear pictures, the zoom is adequate and it's really easy to use. True, the viewer is on the smallish size (LCD screens have gotten much larger) but if you want...

Worst camera ever made in year 2005!

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2005
Review: At first it was a decent camera to me. I didn't have much money to spend on a camera and I have never had a digital camera before, so what did I know? Now, I see it as the worst camera ever made. You cannot leave batteries in it overnight because it...
