Summary
The camera is a fair product at best. It did not come with a memory card and tech support was not helpful at all. I would not recommend the AOL PhotoCam Plus to anyone. The photos I took were grainy. The only photos I have taken with this camera were evidence of a home invasion. The photos weren't good quality. I have had this camera in my posession for at least 5 years and it simply sits on a shelf collecting dust.

Strengths
None

Weaknesses
The camera in itself is a weakness.

Summary
I took a few pictures with this camera and it seemed to have good quality. But, as soon as i tried to replace the batteries, the compartment latch broke. I've tried to fix the problem with zip ties and velcro, but with no success. I cannot get the latch to stay closed tight enough for the batteries to work unless i hold it myself. A big pain. I was wondering if anyone has had the latch repaired and if so how much did it cost or do you need to replace the whole camera?

Strengths
Good pictures, easy to use, great starter camera for the kids

Weaknesses
Camera is sort of big, Battery latch design, no zoom

Just bought a HP Photosmart R717, I used it on vacation, So far I love it. It takes great pictures, easy to use and has many great features. Cost about $250.

Summary
The AOL Photocam Plus is, at best, a mediocre digital camera. I believe the person who bought it for me paid at least $150 for it. At the time it was purchased, there were other digital cameras available that, for about the same price, had significantly better picture quality.

Strengths
This camera has no strengths.

Weaknesses
The battery compartment on this camera pops open unexpectedly. I have to put tape on it to make sure it doesn't happen when I use it.
