I'm not sure about the Gateway camera. However, this is one of those "you get what you pay for" things. There's another 5.0 mp camera selling fo the same price, the Argus DC3810, which as the editor of DC resource calls it "worst performing camera I've used in years." Hope this helps. I'd personally look for a nice 2 or 3mp than that 5mp camera. Megapixels isn't everything. More megapixels isn't necessarily better.
