Summary: Does a lot for the price
Review: 1.3 Mega Pixels, flash, 16mb internal, smart media external slot, rapid shot mode, movie mode,mic and webcam functionality.
For the retail price of $.... I doubt you can find a digital camera that does all this. My system just made the requirements and I had to call Intel about a few things but other than that great if you want a lot of functionality without making a permenant comitment of spending $... on digital camera.

Summary: A 5-star product in its class
Review: A friend of mine from Minnesota bought it for me at a local shop and I got it here in Romania in mid December. I think the new Intel Pocket Digital PC Camera launched November 2001 at $... on Intel Direct Shopping site is a real wonder in its category. 16 Mb internal memory, plus expansion slot for Smart Media cards up to 128 Mb, buit-in flash and microphone (and speaker to hear click sounds during operation), two aperture lens (f2.8/f8.0), automatic or manual white balance control, USB connection to PC, fantastic software. The camera comes with a stand to fit on the computer, strap and traveling case. While connected to PC via USB to download pictures or be used as webcam it does not need battery power. Four AAA normal or alkaline batteries are required only when camera is used away from your PC as a digital still camera. Since there is no LCD screen on the back of the camera (in my view an extravagance anyway) to focus or preview shots, the battery life is amazing. I just replaced the original 4 (regular) batteries after emptying twice the 16Mb memory full of snapshots, most of them with flash! Nifty resolution and storage capabilities for a camera in this category: 256 pics at 640x480, or 96 pics at 1024x768, or 14 pics at 1280x960 (or combinations thereof). It can also accomodate 1 minute stored video with audio or 1 hour voice recording! Excellent webcam too. Vivid colors and working great with Yahoo Messenger, Camarades.com (have not yet tried the supplied software for Inetcam.com services). The included Intel Create and Share software is very imaginative and entertaining. The image editor program is called MGI PhotoSuite 4 Special Edition, but have had no patience to learn how to use it. I'm being faithful to my Corel Photo-Paint 10 that does the job just fine :). Although the camera appears to be in stock at major US online shops (....), it's a pitty the info provided on those sites is incomplete or incorrect and there's not even a product picture shown. Also, not selling in Europe yet, so I'm probably the first lucky European owning this pocket-sized rarity :). All in all a great buy, wholeheartedly recommended.

Summary: Very easy to use muti functioning camara and camcorder
Review: I bought this camera on November 21, 2001. This camera is very easy to use. It has 3 diferent settings for picture quality. This camera also acts as a camcorder that records audio away from your computer. The camera comes with 16mb of internal memory.(A slot allows a smart memory card to be added up to 128mb) It will take close to a minute and half of video with audio from the internal memory. The software is easy to use for both pictures and video. The camera also subs as a pc camera. I have already sent many video e-mails to friends. It is very compact and lightweight (the size of a throw away 35 mm camera) with a long battery life. The camera comes with a stand to fit on the computer and a traveling case.

Summary: A Very Good Inexpensive Camera
Review: I came across it from reading its review on a computer magazine and everything it said is true. Works fine with me. Very portable. When my wife gave birth to our second baby (my first boy!), I took my baby's first pictures (from the hospital) with it and immediately send it to my sister on the other side of the country via email. She was excited and very happy to see them. The pics came out very fine. Before, I made a video postcard for her son's birthday with the software that came with it and he never stops playing it again and again. My work (in the middle east) keeps me away from my family (in the Philippines) most of the time and communicating with them via video e-mails and video conferencing using this pc camera helps ease a little bit of the pain of not being there with them always. It is compact enough to fit almost anywhere in my bag/pocket. The software that came with it is okey, with games, photo editing etc. The model I got doesn't have a flash so I would have given it 5 stars if it had one. For me its The Family PC Camera For The Novice.

Summary: Best Camera I have found for the money
Review: I just went to hawaii about 3 weeks ago and took my handy Intel camera with me. I set the camera on medium (so i could take a LOT of pictures) and it took the most beautiful pictures imaginable. Armed with 2 - 128mb smart media cards and the on board, i could take around 1700 pictures if i ever so desired.
I ended up taking about 250 picutres and about 25 videos.
the picture quality is EXCELENT and the videos are very smooth AND HAVE SOUND.very highly recommended

Summary: Just what I was looking for.
Review: I wanted an inexpensive way to take and send pictures of my newborn over the internet. This camera works great. The software loaded easy and I was snapping pictures in no time. There are less expensive alternatives, but the ability to shoot 1.3 Megapixel resolution, have a flash, and smartmedia expandability makes this well worth the money. I was able to take 20 pictures at the highest resolution - Intel said to expect 14. It's nice to have a product over perform! Can't wait to try the video options.

Summary: Great value and easy to use
Review: Intel created another great product. I work with teachers helping them integrate technology into their curriculums. We have been using Intel's microscopes, pocket pc cameras for over two years, and now Pocket Digital PC Camera. I have found the hardware and software dependable and easy to use, which means my teachers and students use them a lot. The Intel Pocket Digital PC Camera produces great pictures, movies and sound with minimal effort. The software and camera are easy to install and use. My first impressions are very good - you won't go wrong with the purchase.

Review: This camera for the monies spent is 10 times what I had anticipated but should have known better. Seeing what Intel has done with the Pentium Four, I would have expected none the less. I only wish that Intel gets back into manufacturing cameras again. It is a fantastic Web Camera with sound, it is a great recorder of sound and WOW to the concept of digital video making. It's the best investment I have made next to purchasing my home and my automobile.
