Summary: Poor Video
Review: I found the packaging for this camera very misleading. The "2 minutes" of video can only be used in 10-second clips. The video does not have sound. The quality of the video is less than expected (even for the price of the camera).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love Intel- and this product is just more reason!
Review: I have had limited exposure to video recording, but much use of Intel products, including the stock making me a first generation millionaire! I was skeptical about this product, given the lens configuration, data processing, and some other concerns.

I was amazed! I have a $5000 Sony that is a great videocam, and I can't tell any quality in the film I make with the INtel cam as with the Sony! It even does a terrific job in outdoor, nature photography, which was much more than I expected.

Per dollar this is THE BEST PRODUCT of any kind I have bought in 5 years! I just wish INTEL would go ahead and make the whole darn desktop and laptop computer!

Summary: A Great Deal
Review: I love it. Much better than what I expected at such a price. Very nice light handling due to the CCD sensor. I can't be happier. I highly recommend it. If you plan to buy one, hurry up. Intel is discontinuing all of its camera products. Won't be on shelfs for long time. Don't say you weren't told.

Summary: The Best
Review: I wanted a new camara and it was down between a more expensive film camara and this. I chose this because it was cheaper and it could take video. It is great it can store 120 pics easily and the video is almost the same as if I took it with a video camara. The only problem is you have to hold it stady or the pic will be blury.

Summary: First Time Buyer Very Satisfied
Review: I was very impressed with this PC Cam. From time to time I have some technical issues with it because I was unfamiliar with how it works with my PC and I use it connected via USB Port. Overall, now that I am more familiar with how it works, Im very satisfied with my purchase. Overall I think its a great buy!! From someone who doesnt buy lots of items online, I am very impressed. Intel is a very well represented company, this brand of quality and innovation has won me over!

Summary: A little of everything
Review: I wasn't ready to take the leap and get a mega-pixel camera because of the cost and the fact that 90% of the time I would just shrink the pictures down to post on the web anyway.

For what it is, it's pretty good. It's a nice webcam for connecting directly to your PC. It's a convenient camera to carry around with you and take lots of reasonably good pictures. The software that comes with it is nice and works from within my image editing software so I can download, edit, and save very easily. The size is just right for slipping in a pocket and it's survived a number of minor drops intact. This is definitely not a high-end camera, but if you just want something to take pictures to post on the web and work as a direct-connect webcam it's a good deal. Battery life is good and it uses Alkaline batteries. I'd rather have the option of rechargable batteries charged via the USB cable, but that isn't available. The one thing that really bothers me is the button. It's kind of hard to push down and when it finally gives, it tends to jerk the camera a little. If I'm not careful to keep it steady, this results in a blurred shot.

Pros: Good battery life. Enough memory for 128 pictures. Adjustable focus for close-up objects. Shoots 10-second video clips away from PC. Shoots nice higher-res videos when connected to a PC. USB interface with slick software. Timer mode so you can set it down, click the button, and get into the shot

Cons: Cannot upgrade memory. No screen to view/delete pictures. Not Windows 2000 compatible - a beta driver is available to download pictures, but it cannot clear pictures from the camera's memory! Video limited to low-res 10 second clips. Low-light pictures do not come out well and it doesn't have a flash. Can only adjust focus when it's connected to a computer

Keep your eye out for rebates. CompUSA recently had a MAJOR price break on these things.

Summary: Great Versitility!
Review: If you want a digital camera that can do just about anything this ones for you! The camera itself is small and easy to take with you it also comes with a stand for using it as an internet camera. You can mount the camera on a regular tripod too! Once you have your pictures the software will amaze you too!!!! It has the standard editting features and tons more including video camera games that are pretty cool!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, durable and priced reasonably.
Review: My roommate and I bought this camera about six months ago, and it is one of the most-used and most-enjoyed items in our apartment. It doesn't use up any film, so we never think twice about grabbing the camera when we go somewhere with friends.

Though it has no flash or zoom capabilities, it takes large, clear pictures even when used portably. The video it takes when it is not connected to the computer is a bit lacking because it comes out so small, but it is still useful for some things -- I took it on a roller coaster last week and videotaped the ride at 60 miles per hour!

As for the video taken while the camera is hooked up to the computer, it is sharp and good quality when there is plenty of natural light, but at night, even with all the lights on, it has a lot of trouble detecting motion and the video tends to be slow and choppy.

The cute little camera is very durable--we know because we have dropped it countless times and it has never malfunctioned. battery compartment does accidentally come open sometimes, causing the batteries to scatter all over the ground, but the pictures already taken still remain in its memory, so it is really more of a nuisance than a problem.

It comes with its own software which works well for organizing and editing the pictures, but its movie making software doesn't have many features, so it's better to use the movie maker that comes with Windows or a professional one. The pictures it takes come in .jpg format, and the videos come in .avi format, so they're perfectly compatible with other viewing and editing programs.

All things considered, we are very happy we have this little camera; I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to have fun with unlimited pictures and video, though those with concerns about very high-quality video might do better to seek out more expensive digital equipment.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for the price
Review: Pros:

good price, nice design, simple to use, easy to install, good battery life.

Cons:

Poor Windows 2000/XP support (you can extract pictures, but no videos). That's not to say that the support won't be improved. I expected better color quality - things sometimes looked a little red.

All in all, I'm glad that i bought it.
