I purchased the camera before our vacation and had to replace it only after two days of use. The camera has had only limited use and is no longer working. Fortunately I purchased the extended warranty. Best Buy tells me the camera can not be repaired.

QuickTake:

Pros: the only good thing about this camera is its size
Cons: the tape mechanism is terrible.

I didn't have time to research before my trip, but wanted a small, cheap camcorder with digital camera feature to fit in my purse. I guess you get what you pay for. IF you like to use your tapes to capture photos of movement< this one jumps ahead instead

QuickTake:

Pros: Fits in my purse, easy to whip out for fast shooting,
Cons: no frame by frame for tape-photo transfer, confusing menu
