3D CAMERA IN AFTER EFFECTS

I read about this little camera while doing some research on low cost, lo-fi digital cameras to add to my collection. I found one person's review very intriguing and decided to take the plunge and picked one off of Ebay for my usual extravagant 99 cents. In using this camera, I've noticed that it takes pictures that are somewhat mediocre, which is o.k. if you're not too picky and have time to do some adjusting with photo software. I've also noticed that if I don't plug in the USB cable fast enough it will literally delete all pictures from the camera before the software has a chance to do anything. For that reason, it's kind of a tricky rig to use. I generally like the results when I am able to successfully upload the pictures, but when I'm not it's kind of frustrating.

I also found this description on one internet review site:

My biggest problem with the camera has been that when I plug in the cable to upload the pictures to my computer it deletes them before I can do anything with them. Sometimes, I get lucky and manage to get them transferred, but it is a hit or miss proposition.
