Summary: Good on spec, poor on quality
Review: Despite its claim of 1.3 megapixels, the images taken from this tiny camera are blurry with "washed out" colors, either indoors or out. One can easily fall in love with its compact size and simplicity, but it is still a camera; a camera is about taking good pictures. I wouldn't reccomend this product to anyone who wants to capture more than just outlines and profiles.

Summary: The world's thinnest digital camera
Review: Dig the world's thinnest digital camera, weighing just 1.3 ounces in a sleek 6mm casing! The small size hides a wealth of versatility, such as 1.3-megapixel digital picture quality, and the ability to store the pictures using the built-in 8MB of photo storage memory. Pop the credit card size CardCam into your pocket, wallet or your smallest purse and go mobile. The ingenious pop-out lens saves space when the camera is off, and the lightweight, brushed aluminum design goes with every accessory. Downloads are a snap, and the lithium-polymer battery automatically recharges while attached to your PC. Take great pictures anytime, anywhere with the Creative CardCam.

Summary: Handy, Genuine Pocket Sized
Review: I have had a lot of fun with this camera. The picture quality is not great (the 1.3MB claim is a bit rich) and indoor photos come out quite poorly because there is no flash. However, for a camera that I can carry around in my pocket (it weighs next to nothing), ready to take shots of any and all situations aroud me it is very handy. There is no way I could ever carry a full-featured camera in my pocket, so my thinking is, this camera is definitely better than no camera. For the price, I think it is great.
It's also great to pull out of your pocket. "What IS that????" It's a great conversation starter.Pros:
Size, Ease of Use, Memory, Ease of Recharging (from computer's USB port) Cons:
Picture quality

Summary: awesome portable
Review: I purchased this without reading the reviews and now I'm returning it. The form factor is great. Its small and easy to carry. USB is handy for transferring the pictures, but the picture quality is poor. Even for me, a casual picture taker, I want the few times I go to the trouble to take pictures to have nice results. This camera just isn't that.

Review: i wasn't expecting too much when i ordered this camera, but after i got it and took some pictures with it i now can say my webcam takes better pictures than this thing. it's really cool and small and techy, but man the resolution just isn't there. don't waste your money on this. spend 40 or 50 more and get a benq dc1500 or something semi-real.

Review: NEGATIVE COMMENTS:
The 1.3 megapixel claim is a bit misleading. Sure, the image size CONSISTS of 1.3 megapixels, but those pixels are really, really fuzzy, exactly like one of those PC-cams you sit on top of your monitor operating in low-light. The image quality outside in bright sunlight really wasn't much better. I did two test-runs, and wasn't happy with the image quality of any of the pictures taken. I'm going to order a camera of better quality even if it costs a bit more, because at the image quality of this camera, I have relatively little use for it. I've had low-res cameras, and though the resolution is low, what they ARE capable of capturing is actually clear. This would make a nice device for someone who just wants to take pics of friends and post them on the web for their other friends. But I'm really into graphics and I'd be ashamed to post any of this camera's resulting images on my website as examples of my work, even if heavily artistically manipulated. NOT-SO-BAD COMMENTS:
This camera is really cool because it's so tiny, and compared to the cost of film or batteries (because it charges via USB), it's the best deal out there for a "snapshot" camera. You pay eighty bucks and you have absolutely no costs after that. It's so tiny that it's amazing it's capable of taking any pictures at all. I'm not saying their technology isn't top-of-the-line. It's just not suitable for my needs. Think when you're buying this camera that you're getting a 320 x 240 resolution camera and you won't be disappointed. The thing is, even though it includes a lot of pixels, it groups big chunks of color that occupy several pixels, so if you reduce one of this camera's "1.3 megapixel" images to a 320 x 240 image, then it looks ALMOST clear. Take the pictures at the max resolution, then in Photoshop, reduce them to 320 x 240. The groups of pixels that are all occupied by the same information will be consolidated into a single pixel (well, FEWER pixels, at least), and then you'll see that viewing that 320 x 240 image doesn't look any better when viewed at 400% than it did when it was sitting there in its original size, 1280 x 960, at 100%). The bottom line: if I had a lot of money to spend on devices, I'd definitely own this one. ... Have you ever wished you had a camera with you and didn't? If you just keep this in your wallet (assuming you don't keep your wallet in your back pocket) or in some case you can design (the one they provide wouldn't keep it any safer than your wallet), and you have it with you ALL the time, then you can be glad you're able to pull it out and capture some strange scenario you weren't expecting, and your friends will all think it's a really cool device ... Here's what it actually says on the box: "It's the most functional fashion accessory you'll ever own!"
