Oh No What Have I Done Now

by onabreak2 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 04 '00
Pros: Great Software Comes With Camera
Cons: Over Priced
I am embarrassed to say that I bought this Jam Cam Jr. camera at a on-line auction site.

I read some of the reviews after I bid on it. I wish I had read them before. But I thought that I was safe for the price.

The reason I wanted...

JamCam 3.0 -- decent

by jghanisco , Mar 15 '02
Pros: Cheap, usb & serial, ok w/ win xp, lightweight, takes a beating
Cons: low quality, battery life, low # of pics in memory
I've gone through 3 digital cameras in the last 4 months while working in Yosemite, and this was my starter camera. I ended up getting it for $20, and I figured that's what people pay for a pair of disposable cameras. I didn't have much desire to have...

It actually functions.

by riceballcom , Mar 13 '02
Pros: Super cheap, and it functions. Great for kids.
Cons: Win2k operation problems.
I found this for $25 at Circuit City, and got it on an impulse buy. It's never going to work as your main digital camera, but it'll do fine taking flix for eBay or other pedestrian tasks.

The camera's your basic bottom end digital cam. No...

In a jam wiv me cam

by ethelred , Mar 26 '03
Pros: Low cost, cute, standard USB cable
Cons: Power hungry, poor low light performance
This is my first digital camera. It was an amazing bargain - I bought it during the grand opening sale for a new computer/electronics store for the princely sum of $20.00. It's the nice blue one.

The package includes the camera, instruction...

Much ado about nothing

by GOCT , May 06 '01
Pros: Cheap; Fisher/Price-esque colors make it hard to lose
Cons: Road-hog software lulls you to sleep, so (hopefully) you won't notice the crummy pictures
A couple of coupons and a rebate -- which brought my end cost under $15 -- lured me into buying this contraption. I was tired of waiting for rolls of film to be used up and developed, and figured this was a good way to experiment with digital...

Great for Kids but not for auctions!

by tinkycat , May 25 '00
Pros: Fast, Convenient, Uncomplicated
Cons: Picture quality is not the best
I bought this product for the same reason as everyone else- the price. I saw a deal at XOOM.com for only $25 plus S&H, a great deal anyway you look at it. I was hoping I could use it for my auctions at Ebay. I tried it out, and definitely it is a...

It was cheap!

by ltrain Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 08 '00
Pros: Cheap, durable
Cons: Not good quality on the photos, no storage
When I worked at KB Toys we got these on a shipment near the Christmas rush. They started at a price of $99.99, which wasn't bad for a digital camera. After Christmas the price began to drop, all the way down to $29.99! At this price I had to buy ...

Jam Scam Jr.

by bjordan10 , Mar 20 '01
Pros: Small, lightweight and Cute
Cons: Camera, I don't think so.
I had heard of this camera but unfortunately had not read any reviews before buying it. After finding a great coupon and seeing that the camera did come with a rebate I decided to give it a try.

From the time it came out of the package the...

Simple Fix for Jam Cam Jr.

by amannuc , Dec 31 '00
Pros: Inexpensive, easy, good software
Cons: Terrible image quality before fix
I recently bought the Jam Cam Jr. for my daughter because I wanted her to have a fun gadget and she loved taking pictures. And, the price was right with the $40 rebate (I assume I'll get that!).

Well, the camera setup as very easy, and I like...

It Ate another Battery

by Juley , Nov 18 '02
Pros: Fast to download pictures into your computer
Cons: Eats Batteries.
My Mom got this camera through AOL. She actually spent good money for one, and it had problems. They sent her this one in replace for the first one. Well, lets say they got the best end of the deal.

I have 2 words to say about this camera....

Yes, it is a toy

by CreamChief , Nov 22 '00
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Cheap
Recommended for kids over 3, it really is just a toy. The pictures are really quite lousy, particularly if you have ever used a decent digital camera. But, it comes with a battery! I get a big kick out of the view finder which is just a hole that you...

Pros: Cheap camera
Cons: You get what you paid for....
This camera was on sale when I purchased it about a year ago. I thought I was getting a great deal until I took my first picture.

First off, the camera is easy to use. It also will take a beating (as I have dropped it a few times) and is just...

GOOD FOR AUCTION PICTURES

by EMILY25 , Jan 26 '00
Pros: NOT COSTLY
Cons: WORKS BEST OUTSIDE
I bought a Jamcam Jr. a few months ago simply because of the price. I needed something just for my on-line auctions so I could make more money.

I was somewhat pleased with this camera but it does not take good pictures in the house. For your...

by johnnyrad , Jun 02 '02
Pros: Cheap Easy to Use
Cons: Quality Sucks Eats Batteries
I got mine for free... so it was worth the price. Basically don't pay more than you have to... if you are going to buy one of these, you can pick it up for under $20 on eBay. And thats about what it's worth. It's great for having instant access to...

Bought this camera used on E-bay to take pictures for E-bay auctions. Worked well enough particularly in good lighting. Software was super simple to use.

Hmmm......

by daffogerbil , Jun 28 '02
Pros: lightweight, affordable
Cons: hard to change settings, photo quality not very good
Well, I found that the JamCam was very hard to use. I know, point and shoot, but to change the settings is just a ... nightmare. It has no screen to preview the pictures, and for 100$, there are cameras like that. Without a San Disk memory card, it only...

While it worked it was great

by falkonsprinces , May 16 '02
Pros: Great click and shoot, focus free camera. Great first time camera
Cons: No zoom available, can not find anywhere to contact company, it seems to have disappeared!
This was a great camera that lasted a year. It was used for ebay and family pictures. The picture quality was decent. The software that came with it worked but was sometimes difficult to work with. It died suddenly and when I tried to get a hold of...

Jam Cam Review

by tcneff , Aug 15 '02
Pros: Easy to use, affordable
Cons: Not much storage, zaps batteries
I bought my Jam Cam new from a dealer off of E-bay. It is not the latest technology. However, it is a good digital camera to start out with. The storage capability is limited, the picture quality is good but not the best, the picture quality is about...

Pros: None
Cons: Doesn't work!
I bought this camera over the internet for $50 with a $40 mail in rebate, which I am STILL waiting for. And at $10 I think it's a rip off!! I tried to take pictures of my dog lying perfectly still (sleeping as a matter of fact) and you couldn't even make...

Do Not Buy

by sra86 , Dec 06 '02
Pros: Cheap
Cons: everything else
This camera is terrible. I wouldn't even give mine away. The only thing its capable of is pictures for auctions. Its a waste of money even though it doesnt cost very much. If you are looking into this camera stop. IM switching back to 35mm as the digital...
