UGH. Until now I forgot how awful some electronics were back then. I had a Casio QV-11 and it not only had awful picture quality and fixed limited storage but the only way to get the photos off was some sort of serial adapter that looked like a headphone jack on one end and had to connect to a PS/2 or similar socket. Then you need a driver to make that work so you might get your photos. I do not miss that at all! Now I can take photos many times nicer with a smartphone and easily enough with some file browsing apps have easy high speed wireless access to the photos or just download them over USB. Who ever first came up with the idea of USB is a genius because now everything is much easier and faster with no need for weird adapters you might have trouble replacing. I wonder how many of those people had a Casio camera or something similar and lost or broke the adapter somehow. Without that a camera like that is junk.

Well, it's only been over 2 years since this video came out, but I've been in a nostalgic mood recently. I never had this camera or the Barbie one, but when we bought our Compaq Presario S5100NX in late 2003, we also bought a Digital Blue video camera to go with it. We wanted to make a movie with it--we even had a script written and everything--but it died before we could film most of our shots. It was a piece of crap, and don't get me started on the software. Ugh. Talk about a terrible user interface.

I was taking everything fairly well. until the 3. 5mm-to-serial cord shambled out of its decades old prison. Never in my life have I seen that particular interface used for anything but audio and power transfer. After I came back to my senses, I realized this is probably more common than I think it is, but I can't imagine by very much. does anyone know any examples of other devices that use that setup?

The camera we had (that we were allowed to use ourselves) was a Polaroid iZone from the early 2000s that oddly featured MP3 capabilities (probably because what else were they gonna do with the SD card slot. I still want to find a dedicated camera or camcorder, but I most likely don-t want to use this if I-m not interested in mosaics.

I had the Barbie one, and I remember having more fun and spending more time with the included software than taking pictures with the camera. Pretty sure the camera died or got lost in the black hole that was my childhood room, and I couldn't have cared less. I do vividly remember playing with the software, though.

I had one of these when I was 4 or 5. I took a picture of my shwing shwang because I thought it was funny. Dad found the picture and gave me a very serious talk about how he could go to prison if someone thought he took the picture and how I should never do that again.
Cool toy.

Ok the image quality is certainly atrocious as you make clear in the video. But to be honest, when I was a kid, I'd have had a blast with that image editor. Alas I was a kid in the 80s so all I could do was ask my dad to drop my Disc film or more likely the 110 roll off at the photomat.

This video gave me strong but vague recollections of having owned this thing. Turns out my dad got it from an overstock seller at a computer trade show back in the early 2000s and gave it to me. Pretty cool to rediscover a fun memory that I'd completely forgotten about!

You are incorrect it is not 0. 1 megapixels
1 megapixel = to 1000 kilopixels
If the camera is 19. 2 kilopixels
The camera resolution is approximately 0. 02 megapixels
That is tiny when compared to the iPhone 12-s Selfie Camera which is 7 megapixels
