Summary: good but no cigar
Review: I love this camera; it is small(I mean small),lightweight, fun and takes good pictures with the price and size in mind. There were some MAJOR bad things though. First their is no LCD, no zoom, and noremovable memory medium. The idea is great and it does look great, plus I was able to get it for $$$. The major thing that you have to keep in mind is that you shouldn't compare this $$$ camera with a $$$ camera becuase that what this camera is all about; ...and small. While others are sure much nicer, none compare with this one when you factor in looks, price, size, and straight-forward design. And oh yeah, I am not a Logitech Sales Rep.

Summary: Great Camera for the size and cost
Review: I have found this camera to be very easy to use and the pictures are good enough to share with friends. I have not missed the lack of an LCD viewer, which can drain a battery faster than one can fill the memory with pictures. This camera battery is recharged automatically every time pictures are downloaded into the computer, and the battery has the capacity to take all 53 pictures that the memory holds.

While the camera CMOS only has a 640 by 480 resolution, you have an option for the pictures to have a 1,280 by 960 image size. I am not sure how the camera does it, but the larger image size does have a higher resolution. To test this, I started with a 640 by 480 picture that I had taken with the camera and doubled the pixels using Adobe Photo Deluxe; I could not achieve the resolution of the Logitech camera when used in the 1280 by 960 mode. While the pictures may not be up to the standards of a true 1.3 megapixel camera, they are good enough, considering the convenience of this easy to carry camera.

Summary: Not really 1.3 megapixels, but simple and convenient
Review: If you want a camera to take VGA quality pictures that you can carry easily in your pocket, this is a good choice. I had researched this camera long before it came out, and was excited that it purported to have 1.3 megapixel resolution, but after I bought it and read some more reviews I found the fine print saying the 1.3 megapixel resolution is "interpolated" from native VGA resolution (VGA is 640x480 pixels, or about .31 megapixels). All that means is that the camera "dithers" or basically breaks up the captured pixels into more pixels, which doesn't really do much to improve picture quality. Despite that disappointment and my view that the advertised quality is very misleading, I kept this camera because it does what I wanted -- it lets me very easily carry around a camera that takes pictures in daylight that are good enough to e-mail. If that's all you want, and the price is acceptable, you'll be happy with this camera.

Summary: Useless
Review: Sure, it looks sleek and pretty, and weighs nothing, but this camera can BARELY take a picture. Unless you have near perfect lighting conditions for professional circumstances, the most you will get is a couple of dark blotches. Even then, your're lucky if the pictures look like they've been ripped off of a security camera. I purchased one for the casual snapshot with friends, thinking I didn't want anything big or expensive, just to carry around. It's not even capable of fulfilling that duty poorly.

Summary: Quality not included
Review: Great in portability and looks, but severely lacking in Image quality.

What good is a camera that fails in its primary role of capturing the precious moments of your life?

It's a cool looking gadget, but albeit a useless one. I've owned 5 digital cameras and this one wins the WORST BANG for the BUCK award.

If, however, the price came down... it would be an entirely different matter...

Summary: Horrible
Review: Yes I know this camera is small and what do you expect, but for [the price] I expect more that 640x480 pics that look like they were painted with paint by numbers. The center of the frame is usually clear but the rest of the picture is horrid. Logitech is practicing false advertising with this camera as the box says 1.3 megapixels but has a tiny asterisk next to it that leads to a spot on the bottom of the box that mentions that this is done through software and actual resolution is VGA only. The lack of flash makes any picture without perfect bright sunlight unusable. This camera would be great if it cost [less].

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very nice for its size
Review: This camera is an awesome toy for those of you that want pictures fast and without a hassle. Obviously you cannot expect the quality of a professional's camera....but come one dude...it's credit card size...it rocks! The autobrite helps, but I wouldn't recommend pics in the dark.... I had no problems as far as quality and resolution goes...it was enough for me....All in all, good product.

Summary: What a disappointment
Review: I got this camera to enable me to take quick pictures for use on websites. I was not looking for amazing quality, but the images produced by this camera were absoulutey atrocious. I think it is one of the coolest looking of my toys, but other than a conversation piece, it is worthless. 1.3 megapixels... the quality was so very disappointing. And i was SO EXCITED TOO!!

Summary: sweet camera
Review: This camera has its good qualities along with its bad. First of all it can fit in your pocket or even in your wallet. Second of all it has a sliding cover for the lense. It also has a sweet silver look. When you go to download pictures to your computer you only have to click and your pictures are downloaded. The product even charges while it is plugged into the usb port. The camera also comes with a cd of drivers and programs to make it possible to dwnload your pictures. Along with these good features are the bad ones. The camera regretfully does not have a flash, but wat can you expect from a credit card sized camera. It also does not have a zoom. Overall this camera is a great camera if you want a small camera that will be with you wherever you go this is for you.

Summary: Terrible Camera
Review: This camera takes horrendous pictures.

In low light, almost everything is blacked out, and in good light, everything is grainy and blurry. I have a cell phone that takes bad pics that look good compared to this Logitech.

Logitech touts their "Lumibright" technology, but their tech support says, the camera isn't supposed to function indoors -- doesn't say that on the box.

The camera was a gift, and was mailed to me, so I couldn't return it to the retailer. Logitech told me the camera was out of warranty and they wouldn't replace it -- nevermind that I called them one day after opening the brand new boxed camera.

All I can say is, Save Your Money. I'm angry that they even sold this misleading item, not to mention refuse to stand behind it.
