Product Description
High quality and easy to use! It¿s time to upgrade your low megapixel camera. The new 4.1 megapixel DC-M42 digital camera from Gateway is compact and stylish enough to carry with you everywhere, yet more than capable of capturing high-quality images. The 3X optical zoom lets you take in the scene with a wide-angle view, or zoom in on the action. Punch the button for Macro mode and you can get up close and personal with bugs, flowers and other small objects. Or get ready for your own close up and take a self-portrait using the 10 second self-timer.

 Drains Batteries Way Way Fast!! August 25, 2008

This camera drains batteries faster than you can replace them. I put new batteries in and take less than 10 pictures. Come back a week later and the camera doesn't have enough battery life left to even look at my 10 shots. Can't afford to keep this camera.
 Works well May 25, 2008

Everyone complains about the battery life. While, I do use the rechargable batteries, I find that Energizer Lithium batteries work well and allow me to take pictures all day long. The camera works well and takes pretty good pictures. It doesn't feel like a substantial piece like my parents sony Mavica (which is old but really substantial feeling) but then again, I didn't pay $300 for this camera either. Overall, it's a good buy.
 Use the camera optimally! May 2, 2008

My daughter took this camera to Europe last summer and got some beautiful pics! If you use quality rechargeable batteries, and use a card reader to download the pics - instead of draining the batteries further by using the camera cable - then you will be able to take more pics, and save battery life. Quality of pictures?...I can count the pores on someone's face with these pics! I can't figure out why others don't get the same results :(

I was so happy when I bought my first digital camera! It was a huge expense for me when I got it (college student, part time worker) and I made a huge deal about getting the best camera for my buck. Sure, sometimes the picture quality is bad, but I can get that with any camera. The problem with this one? The BATTERIES!!!
Oh man, the batteries. How many types have I tried now? Alkaline, NiMH, rechargeable and not, heavy duty camera batteries, etc. It kills my rechargeables within 5 minutes of being on (taking pictures or not). I often will take a couple pictures then turn it off for a minute, then turn it back on since that seems to actually stretch out the life for a little. The heavy duty ones I have in now lasted for about 10 minutes of "on" time. That, again, is turning on and off to stretch out the time it's on. If you leave it on straight it will seriously kill the batteries within about 3 minutes.
I seriously want to like this camera! I really do! But it's just not worth the upkeep at all. I've gone on several vacations now where I'll bring tons of extra batteries along to keep switching out and the camera will just die on my anyway. I've missed pictures of birthdays and family vacations and seriously, I just can't stand it anymore. She is a good camera, she really is, but I can't keep buying batteries that will die near instantly. I'm sorry to say I have to give this camera a bad review. I'm sure there are some of this type that come out without the battery sucking problem, and if you have one of those then congrats, you got lucky. As for me, it's off to Kodak for an Easyshare, where the battery life seems to be about 8 million times longer.

I was very surprised ,first of all, after reading all the horrible reviews on here.
I have had this camera for over two years now, and have not experienced half the problems these other people have. I have taken literally hundreds of photos without having to re-charge my batteries.
I did have a problem with "losing" pictures last year, I bought a new memory card and haven't lost a single picture since.
I think this camera is well worth the money, it is not an expensive camera so you can't expect professional results.
