Most digital cameras back in the 2000's had internal memory (not much but it was enough to let you test the camera), so I was surprised this one had nothing. You'll need to purchase your memory card separately. I ended up buying a whole separate memory card because it requires you to reformat a used MicroSD card, so that was a little annoying.
When taking photos there is a lag after pressing the shutter - mainly for the image to process and appear. There are some pretty neat features though; you can do selective B&W photos, play around with different white balances, and increase file sizes.
There's no shutter, but there is a flash. The flash does ok in dark settings although there is a dark mode available. Macro shots are quite basic and do not capture an immense amount of detail when photographing things such as plants. Preset white balances include Auto (AWB), Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Fluorescent CWF, Incandescent, and Scene modes are Auto, P, Night Landscape, Movie, Landscape, Backlight, Portrait, Beach, Children.
It charges via a USB-C cable, which you'll also use to transfer your photos to via a laptop / card reader. There isn't a feature that can Airdrop or sync with an app to transfer photos…a little disappointed because that's such a missed opportunity.
When transferring files it's in JPG and MOV (1080p) format. Yes you can record videos and it also captures sound. At 13 megapixels, it does an OK job of capturing that old MySpace nostalgia.
I don't like that it's a digital zoom - meaning the lens does not actually extend out to zoom, and instead you have to rely on the pixels enlarging themselves rather than via an actual lens. The selfie feature with the flip screen is a nice touch, but I honestly feel that this is more of a fun hobby camera rather than something that can reliably produce beautiful photos.
It's extremely basic for what it is. It's also super light weight plastic - barely weighs half as much as my iPhone (which takes better pics). Might be good to give to someone who likes the ease of use or the vintage feel of digicams from the MySpace era, without the heavy investment.
