Consumer review (epinions.com)

Low price. Low quality.

 

Camera has been marginal to poor. After taking a few shots, the camera would act erratically and shut off instead of taking a picture. I could only take around 50 pictures before changing batteries. (The battery charge level indication has never...

Low price. Convenient size and shape.

Poor quality. Quickly consumes batteries. No picture viewer on camera.

Product without Quality Control

 

I purchased this product at around USD130 in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Dec.2001. It seems that the QC wasn't performed at all by Umax. Some products have problems with its LCD display (segments cannot clearly displayed). I took one with best display...

Good colour, lowest price megapixel camera

Unreliable, poor Quality Control, no zoom

Great point-and-shoot!

 

O.k., here is the deal: I have two cameras, the $150 Umax Astracam 1800 (1.3MP), and the $500 Ricoh RDC-7 (3.2 MP). Both cameras are not mainstream, but cool if you taker a closer look. They are both small and give good pictures.

Quick time to to first shot ; Good picture quality ; small & light

USB transfer not very fast. No zoom. Only 1.3 megapixel

CHEAP, if you know what I mean.

 

UMAX has been around for a few years now, and are more well known for their scanners. If you own or have owned a UMAX product, you are one of two kinds of people; you like their products, or you hate them. There is no in between because of one simple...

Great Price, Average Picture Quality, Relatively small, USB Connectivity, 4MB Memory

Extremely fragile. I had a DOA already. No Flash, sometimes blurry pictures.

Umax Astracam 1800 worth the wait!

 

I was waiting for a digital camera that took great pictures,

Model 1800 1.3mp. Nice pics, Sony CCD ; USB, Fast SmartMedia change. Battery economy

Production looks rushed. Manual missing features! Quality control concerns. Few extras

Loved it while it worked...

 

I originally bought this camera because of the price--after rebate, it was under $100.00. (The camera I received did not include the cradle or base in the picture on this site.) It was simple to learn how to use and produced pictures good enough...

cheap, simple, good software package

fragile, unreliable

Cheap, lite, and easy

 

Upon receiving a gift certificate to an on line store, I chose the Umax Astracam 1000. This one did not come with the charger, voice recorder, etc. It DID come with batteries,USB cord, and incredible software. It's the perfect point and shoot digital...

Not a bad little camera for the money...

 

I got this camera for Christmas and was finally the one that I decided that I wanted. This camera is that bad considering it has everything you need to get up and running. Be forewarned, your computer will need to run at least Windows 98 and have USB...

Great all in one package for a starter digital camera.

Needs Windows 98 at least and USB Ports.

UMAX PhotoRun

 

I purchased this digital camera for $69.95 at an auction site. I chose this camera because it was so cheap. I knew it would not be the best quality camera, but I figured that it would be okay and that I could always "play around" with the...

Small, affordable

terrible quality
