You Always Get What You Pay For?
Two new reviews of cheap digital cameras prove that you can get a decent digicam for less than $100. Gadget Madness have reviewed the Che-ez! Foxz2, and The Inquirer have taken a look at the Umax (Yamada) Astrapix 550. One camera was judged to be rubbish, the other a veritable bargain.
“If you can’t tell, I’m annoyed I wasted my time on this camera. I’ve been watching Che-ez! camera for a long time. I even emailed and faxed their offices in 2001 to try to convince them to sell me the Che-ez! Cracker. They wouldn’t, so I’ve anxiously been waiting to get my hands on one of their cameras.
If this camera was $30 I’d be happy. I paid $99, and I’m not happy. It’s going back to the store today.”

“Can it be considered as a good buy? The Astrapix 550 provides with fantastic value for money especially considering the state of the competition for that sum of money. It might have a number of shortcomings but everything is forgiven when the price is considerd. It can be purchased at ebuyer.com.”
