I have seen a few of these. Some comming from the uk and some fron China.

They look genuine 8mp, but is the price right for the product. Or are they genuine but take years to take a photo or something?

lol .... I wouldn't expect too much from it.

It'll just be cheap, nasty parts. Wouldn't expect it to last too long before something went wrong with it. Lens and sensor will be lowest quality possible, no optical zoom at all (digital zoom means nothing), no sound on video, doesn't mention what type of memory card it takes so it may not even accept one (which would make it pretty pointless really), and it's only USB1.1 for file transfer!

It's not 8mp either. It says 8mp interpolated (ie. software scaled up) sounds like it's maximum capture resolution is 5mp.

You gets what you pays for and £38 does not get you a very good camera I'm afraid .....

(PS .... the UK ones will just have been shipping in in bulk from China .... won't make them any better)

Ditto everything Sancheeez said. The lens will be the worst quality ever! Always go with a branded/well known/well established name when buying a camera.

If you're looking for a camera but on a budget, there are plenty of cheap cameras about, just search Amazon or go second-hand on eBay. It's better to go less megapixels and get a better quality lens/sensor/everything else.
