I've had some suprising results from these "cheap" cameras.

I got one free when I purchased over 30gbp worth of products from a
stationery store. I wasn=92t overly happy with the focus so stripped it d=
own
to see if I could improve it a bit.

It turned out the lens was stuck on with silicone adhesive and had moved =
a
bit. When removed and refocussed it was a lot better. Then I had a little
play and found you could adjust the focal length down to a few mm which m=
ade
it ideal for cheap macro photography.=20

I also had a play with fitting it with my Canon 35mm lens which with the
help of a toilet roll core brought up some good results as well.

If you're really bored I've uploaded some sample pictures to my site - wo=
rth
a quick look for a <$10 camera :-)
