awful item, amazon has awful service - beware! - Reviewed on 2006-03-17

I ordered this item as a gift and it wouldn't take any pictures. Very disappointing. I tried to contact customer service here at amazon, and was promised to have a box out to return the item, but now, a couple months later, I have not received any way to return the item and amazon will not return my emails!!!! I am so dissapointed with this shopping experience and now have a broken item AND an extended warranty I purchased. Think twice about shopping through this site!!!

The first camera died the day after Christmas. The second lasted four months longer, but only because we didn't use it in the interim. The problem was the same in both cases: for no apparent reason, the camera fails to turn on.

Not good a waste of money it didn't work. No power went to the camera so it did not work. Son in Law took it on Vacation useless.

Instructions very poor. For exam ple, instr. do not tell you that batteries must be in camera and camera must be "on" in order to download to PC. Also not told that if you take batteries out ,will lose any pictures still in camera. Maybe this is elemenetary to a camera buff but not to a novice like myself.

Battery contacts in battery compartment not well designed or installed. Hard to make contact to activate camera.One spring terminal was "bent" when I got camera and had to be straightened to get battery in. Sometimes batteries will make contact and sometimes not.

Judging by the few pictures that I have been able to view, picture quality seems to be good, however.

I'd like a replacement but not sure how to expediently accomplish this.

An item to avoid - Reviewed on 2004-01-04

The Meade CaptureView has two features that should annoy most of us. First of all, it is powered by two AA batteries, but claims to be unable to prevent the batteries from discharging and harming the device if the batteries are left in while the device is off.

Secondly, its USB interface is apparently a version of the USB mass storage standard altered to prevent it from working with anything but Microsoft operating systems. For a company one often associates with scientific interests, active discrimination against users of Mac and unix seems unwarranted.
