How is the qual. on a Jam Cam?

I need a digital camera, but dont have that much money. How is the quality on a Jam Cam 3.0? It only like $20, so im not sure.

I have that same Jam Cam. If the lighting is PERFECT and you are about 5-8 feet away from the object, it will turn out pretty decent. But, anything else, is pretty crappy. I paid about $25 for one and I'd say it's worth the money. It gets the job done, sometimes. Here are some examples:


Please, disreguard the arrows drawn in. They were meant for another purpose. See, what happens to the areas of the photo that don't have enough light. If you get a JamCam, get use to this.


This is an example of the best pic I have been able to take with this thing. I manually sized the pic down after it came from the camera. That's why it's so small.


Hope this helps you make a decision. The Jam Cam gets the job done, for what I need it to do. The next best camera on the market was going to cost me over $130. I ain't gots that kinda cash right now.

LOL ... if only you could get a closer look at the tint. I bought the car in Aug 2001 and it already had tint on it. It has faded a little and turned purple. I have a few bubbles in it and it's driving me crazy. My car will look so much better if I had nice limo tint so I can roll deep like the president. I am in desperate need for a real tint job. I just don't have the $200 bucks for a professional to strip and apply it.

I can see why you think I have a good tint job. I guess it has something to do with the lighting in the photos. Oh, I think my tint is around 35%. It just looks a lot darker in the photos.

I have one... waste of money. I just keep it in my car now in case I get into an accident. If you're looking to get a digital camera, spend a few bucks more and get a decent one.
