Consumer review (photographyreview.com)
Whenever people gripe about modern cameras and noise or saturation, they should pick up one of these and see how far we've come. My particular example is a Dimera Relisys 3500, but aside from the name they're all the same camera. My particular reason...
It will take a picture. In color
The most outstanding weakness is the horrible image quality ; a grainy noisy, smudgy thing that makes 110 film look like large format. The images look like stills from a contemporary webcam, and the sensor likely came from one. As the adage goes a...

The bag that the camera is supposed to go in is a little flimsy.

Descent picture quality. Sometime overexposed
Limited to 8 pictures for fine mode. Standard mode quality is not good
Consumer review (photographyreview.com)
Surprisingly sharp images in the 640 x 480 mode, more than adequate for web use, but noticable coloration of sharp edges with 4 x 6 inch prints. Optical viewfinder is reasonably accurate. No LCD display. The single 3 Volt Lithium battery is good for...
Cheap. Good for web use
Limited to 8 pictures
Consumer review (photographyreview.com)
The Relysis Dimera 3500 (alias Mustek VDC-3500) is is a very simple 640 x 480 point and shoot camera with a bright line optical viewfinder. At $60 (tax included) new in the box at the LA county computer show (November 5, 2000) this is a very good deal....
Good price. Good 640 x 480 pictures Pleasant 4 x 5 inch prints. Sturdy camera: No focus mechanism, door or deploying lens mechanism to jam. Unlike other digital cameras, this one should survive a 3 ft drop onto concrete
Serial transfer (40 seconds per picture) Storage for only 8 pictures. Single CR123A Lithium battery ($8) will last only 50 - 100 shots unless downloading using external power supply
