Rating: Summary: being forgotten as so often Review: Exactly what I was looking for.... I thought. A non-weight non-volume camera for ad-hoc situations, no high quality required. How disapointing to read the specs and find out Mac users can shake it as with too many other products....
Rating: Summary: Outstanding little Snap On Camera Review: I bought this little PalmPix add on for my Palm IIIc. I didn't expect it to be a super digital high dollar camera but what I did get absolutely shocked me and my family and friends. This little camera is GREAT!!! I couldn't tell anything until I uploaded it to my PC at home but firstly, it told me I had space to take 45 more pix which was amazing! Then, I took pictures inside a dimly lit chapel and in offices with flourescent lighting and found this camera to be more than adequate to record. The manufacturer says that the camera should be used in outdoor lighting which is best but I found it took fine pictures indoors as well. The convenience of it is awesome Just take it out and pop it on and that's it! In addition, there's no cost for camera film development, no cost to send over email to friends and it has alot of other uses. My sister uses hers to take pictures of real estate properties she has listed for sale. I think that one of the important keys to the use of this little camera is to be patient when you point and wait very very still before you shoot. If you do that, it records amazingly well. I will never be without a camera again because of it. It's worth every penny!

Rating: Summary: Fair pictures, bad service from Kodak. Review: I have a Palm Vll and had a very hard time doing a "hot sync" to my desktop after taking pictures with the Palm Pix. Each and every time, my Palm locked up and I had to do a soft reset. Three weeks have passed since I informed Kodak about the problem, and still no response from them. I am going to return the Palm Pix and purchase a digital camera from anyone but Kodak!
Rating: Summary: Superb for the price, AND NOW WORKS ON A MAC! Review: I picked this up because the price was right, and I had always wanted a digital camera to take pictures of things for upload only. The Kodak PalmPix does all that!The other reviewers cover the details well, but let me add a couple of things. First, it works great even on a grayscale Palm IIxe. Obviously, you don't get to see the color until you HotSync, but you can still get a good idea of what the picture will look like, especially if you adjust the contrast. More importantly, MacUsers take heart! Even though some shipping units claim they're for Windows only, Kodak **DOES** have a Mac conduit available on their website! Just go to the Customer Support page listed in the manual, and drill down to Driver Software, or search for "Mac" from there. It allows you to save the pictures in JPEG or PICT format; I tend to prefer the latter, and use other software to tweak the results.
Rating: Summary: An Awesome Accessory For The Palm*****MONDO COOL!!! Review: If you are a gadgeteer like me, you will wet your pants over the Kodak PalmPix Digital Camera. It is soooo MONDO COOL to hook up the camera and preview a picture on my Palm IIIxe!! I love it! You won't see the true quality of the pics you take until you hotsync them to your main computer. The quality of the photos are pretty darn good. This camera is no match for a $ Nikon digital camera, but for the money it is simply awesome. Hint...I waited until Amazon.com sale priced it at $ then added a $ off E-cupon. Total price was $ including shipping. I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it!
Rating: Summary: Good for those 'quickie' pics Review: If you are looking for a 'quick and dirty' way of taking pics without lugging around a camera, this little gem will do the trick. It is easy to snap on and take quick pictures. Pictures are not going to be crystal clear, and a minor shake will be evident. It easily fits in your pocket and the pictures do not take up a great amount of space in the memory of your PDA. Word of warning, if you are looking for good quality pictures, use a camera!!!! This will not be what you are looking for!! I still recommend this item!!

Rating: Summary: Not a Nikon, just one great little cam! Review: If you are looking for a professional digicam, stop reading right here. (Thanks!) If you, like me, *love* digipix and are looking for an amazing little add-on for your 8-meg Palm (IIIc), this is a terrific piece of gagetry that will let you have fun with photos anywhere. I know it's 640 x 480 max, and I read about blurriness, blah blah etc. and I still bought this cam. Why? Because it seemed to me some folks were looking for a Nikon F5 for a hundred bucks. That worked flawlessly with their Palm. -Right.- This cam is not fancy. Its strength is its simplicity. Take it out and hitch it on. Turn on the Palm. Frame (well, as best you can; it's not what I would call, ahem, precise) in adequate light (that's important!) and shoot. End of tale. (No, there is no motor drive.) A review posted earlier has terrific tips, and you should read that as well as the manual, of course, to get the nicest pix you can with this. Frankly, I am impressed. The cam and software work flawlessly. *No* hitches (with Palm IIIc anyway.) You can throw this teeny lil thing in your bag and never know it's there. But instead of saying, 'Gee, wish I had a camera!' you can whip it out and preserve your Kodak moment. (Provided you have your Palm, of course.) Pair it with Album to Go for a really nice resolution, right on your Palm. It's one of the things the IIIc was made to do. Enjoy it.
Rating: Summary: A great little camera for the money. Review: Sure, you can buy a much higher quality camera, but not one that weighs 1.5 ounces and extends the Palm's length less than 2 inches. I have a Palm IIIxe and run everything on it. I'm overclocking it with afterburner, I'm running half a dozen hackmaster hacks and this camera STILL works perfectly. As one reviewer stated earlier, It DOES take a few seconds to adjust to the light - especially if it's extremely dark or light - but then it performs wonderfully. I have personally gotten much higher quality pictures when I'm not trying to work in very low-light conditions. I agree that using the screen as a viewfinder isn't much better than a framing tool, but then, I don't use the 1-square-inch display on the digital camera we have at the office to display images for people either. The Palm isn't much on displaying these pictures because of its grey scale limitations. For the price and convenience, I am perfectly content with the quality and very good color accuracy of the pictures. I have not had a single problem with the camera or hot synching the pictures to the PC. (Hey, It's a LOT faster than transferring a few web pages with AvantGo) I have a keyboard and a modem for my Palm so this was just another extension to increase it's functionality. It won't take up much space or add much weight to my briefcase and the batteries last a long time. And, since they are the same size as the Palm uses, I don't have to stock several sizes.
