My husband and I purchased this camera x 2 for our twins' 6th Bday presents. They took them on our family vacation the next week and we found that the batteries would not even last throughout the day. The kids had to take the batteries out of the camera to try to conserve them... and then quickly replace them when they found something they wanted to capture on 'film.' The cameras also came in a super-cheap faux-suade bag that fell apart within the first 3 days. I called Oregon Scientific and after waiting on hold for 15 minutes.. I finally spoke to a customer service rep who informed me that that is just how the cameras work and they will not take them back. No refund. No store credit. No apology! Unless the product is sent back within 30 days in the original, UNOPENED packaging, they will not refund your money. Do not waste your time and money with this cute, but totally-worthless camera. We will never buy from Oregon Scientific again.
