good beginner digital camera

Date of Review:  May 1, 2007
Review: Finicky focusing. This camera changes its setting to use the flash when you adjust the focusing control in the menu. It can be very hard to get used to in order to get good quality photos. I have owned this camera for the last 3 years and have taken...

Guess I'm the only one who likes it...

Date of Review:  Feb 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you can get through Gateway's horrible customer service, it's worth the effort. I am very happy with this camera.
Review: Looks like it has some "issues" with quality, but I have to be honest and say I have not had one negative experience with this camera. After reading the first review which I felt was more emotion than fact, I went ahead and ordered the camera. I...

Good but not very tough

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2006
Review: This Camera was my first digital camera and it served me very well. It took great pics. I took roughly 600-800 pictures a year, for two years. The plastic case however began to wiggle loose and the lens began to stick. The main drawback, however,...

From good to bad to worse

Date of Review:  May 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Don't buy. Spend more for something quality and not picked up of the "pasture",
Review: I originally purchased this camera for two reasons:

1) Price
2) Good reviews here at ePinions

I have since been sorry. When I first received it and went through the rounds with it I was happy. I was only dissatisfied with...

Absolutely Horrible

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2004
The Bottom Line: Don't buy this camera under any circumstances!!!
Review: My husband and I purchased this camera thinking that we were getting a deal. However, all we got was a cheap camera that didn't do anything we bought it for. The speed of this camera is so slow taking it to sporting events is worthless. By the time...

Glitchy camera eats batteries but has sufficient megapixels for great images

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2004
Review: Our camera had trouble with start-up; it would sometimes boot up then just shut off before one could use it; this glitch was intermittent and was unrelated to the type of battery we had in the camera; the same thing might occur when running off the...

Poor quality, TERRIBLE customer service

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: I absolutely WOULD NOT recommend this camera to anyone
Review: We also purchased this camera because of the Gateway name and the great pricing. I guess you get what you pay for. The first camera would not focus, pictures were awful. Called customer service and was informed that we were beyond the 15 day return...

Many Features, Great Price

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: A great camera for the photo amateur who wants large 5 MP images, a choice between auto and manual controls, and the ability to focus both CLOSE and far.
Review: After using 1.3 megapixel and 2.1 megapixel cameras for family and vacation snapshots, I found that I wanted the ability to enlarge my photos without noticeable pixellation. This camera fulfilled that goal. The 5 megapixel images allow for...

I Like the Camera

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2004
Review: I bought the Gateway DC-M50 as a low price entry into the digital camera field. I have used it for about a month , mostly for flash photography (including self portraits on a tripod using a slave GN-56 flash) . It has more options and features than...
