Rating: Summary: One of the better mini cameras Review: Let's face it, mini cameras like the Logitech Pocket Digital are not intended to give you top quality pictures. They are intended to be small enough (and cheap enough) to be taken to places where full size cameras would not normally be taken. People need to stop comparing them to cameras that cost hundreds of dollars more or cameras thatare 3 times its' size! That said, this a good mini camera, compared to other cams I've used- I compare the Logitech Pocket Digital to the Sipix Blink, and Spypen Luxo. Under day light conditions-- Colour balance: a little off, slightly worse than Spypen Luxo, much better than Sipix Blink; visual lens distortion - slightly better than the Luxo, much better than the Blink (bad distortion); White balance - same as Luxo, better than Blink; battery life/ battery circuitry- far better than either the Luxo or Blink. The The Pocket digital does lack the Web cam and contiuous mode that the Luxo and Blink both have, and has a slower shutter, but more than makes up for it with a solid housing, twice the memory, flawless WinXP connectivity and Big name support. Ranking low light performance from best to worst: Blink, Spypen, Logitech Pocket Digital. The Pocket digital is the worst performing low light camera with the most underexposed and dark shots. Under poor lighting conditions- all the cameras perform exhibit chromatic aberration, colour balance, exposure and white balance problems. Just make sure there is plenty of ambient light if you want your pictures to turn out. Especially in lower light you need to be very STEADY as you press the shutter, otherwise you'll have a blurry picture. Go [online] to check out sample pics.
Rating: Summary: nifty little camera, good value Review: This is a neat little camera if you want an inexpensive digital camera and don't need high quality pictures.Picture sizes are 640x480 or 1280x960. It holds 53 pictures regardless of size. Each image takes 2 to 6 seconds to download on my 700 mHz machine; it varies with picture size and complexity. The 1280x960 pictures do indeed have better resolution than 640x480. It's the size of a credit card, but about 3/8" thick so it won't fit in a wallet. At the lens, it's about 1/2" or 5/8" thick. It's light enough that I forget I have it in my pocket. I plan to keep one in my laptop briefcase, to take pictures of whiteboards before they get erased. (I won't be able to read all of what's written; the image quality isn't quite good enough.) Very easy to install and use. Once the software is installed, just plug the camera in. If there are any pictures in the camera a popup appears. Just click OK or hit space to move them to your computer (or click Browse to navigate). Fine for even techno-challenged folks, if they can find the USB port. The unreplacable battery recharges through the USB cable. The biggest limitation is no flash. Takes OK pics in a typical well-lit office setting, but you have to hold it very still. Fine outdoors even on cloudy days. Optics are not great (what do you expect from such a tiny lens?) There is very noticeable radial lens distortion (straight lines near the picture edge bow outward). Resolution problems are noticeable when you display the images at full size, but images are fine up to a print size of 4x6" -- like an Instamatic or a disposable. Of course, it doesn't have any of the nice features we expect from bigger or more expensive cameras. No zoom, no image display. For example shots, see ...". The first image is 640x480, the second is 1280x960. It's a great novelty or convenience, and it's very affordable.
Rating: Summary: Poor poor little camara Review: The Logitech Pocket Digital has very bad picture quality even for a 1.3 megapixeldigital camara. The pictures that I took in very bright light turned out ok, but if there was any shade around it would not turn out worth crab. Don't buy this camara unless you plan on carrying a spotlight around.
Rating: Summary: It's good for what it's good for.... Review: This camera is all about portability. Don't expect much more than a cool little camera you can slip into a shirt pocket & you won't be disappointed. Installation is easy and the camera is a snap (no pun intended) to use. Great gift for a kid....
Rating: Summary: Small, Sleek Cool. Review: This small Logitech Pocket Digital Camera is perfect for uploading and sneding images in email, or putting images on your webstie. Its small size can fit almost anywhere. There is no LCD display, which means you cannot see the image until you upload it to your PC. This camera is perfect for what I do, upload images to my website. Do not expect to get high-quality prints from this digital camera. If you want printed images that look nice, look elsewhere. But, if its small prints you want, or a camera that uploads pictures to the web, this is the camera for you.

Rating: Summary: Logitech pocket digital Review: the Logitech pocket digital has horrible picture quality. It is the worst 1.3 megapixel digital camara i have ever seen. Don't buy this camara unless you plan on carrying a spotlight around with you.
Rating: Summary: As kid friendly as it can get Review: This camera is perfect for kids. With only three buttons (shutter, hi/low resolution, sound on/off+self-timer) it is very easy to use. The Windows-XP software is also easy to use: plug in camera to USB port, press download button and pictures are transfered and deleted from the camera. The camera uses the USB port to charge the battery. My 6 year old daughter can take pictures and download them without any help. It was also a big hit at show-and-tell. Daylight photos are good enough for kids.
Rating: Summary: Poor picture quality Review: i bought this pocket logitec camera for £50 and at first i loved it. the sleek slim credit card designe meant i could take it anywhere unlike a big camera is recognisable. anyway i took pictures and some came out well and few came out reaaly awful. after a few hundred shots, on the camera screen it displayed "e9" message and it wont work any more. i pressed all the available buttons, read the manual and it still said the same message. the camera froze out of the blue and it just would not work any more. i think it was a waste of money for me to buy this. a few extra money would've bought me a better reliable and lasting camera. if you can help my problem please email me at : ...
Rating: Summary: What a waste of money! Review: This logitech camera does not seem to live its reputation of 1.3 megapixels. I took many pictures and found out that this camera is best used for scenery pictures, not close-ups... i.d faces of people. Overall, pictures of this logitech camera produces mediocre results. Results making the eye strain just trying to figure it out. Save the money and buy a better name brand digital camera.
