Rating: Summary: great product Review: Simple to use directions and easy setup. This isn't a high quality camera, but it's great for it's price and perfect for an amerature. I am very happy with it overall.
Rating: Summary: Poor support, low-quality pictures, flaky software Review: The camera is very particular about lighting conditions. In sunlight, pictures look overexposed or washed-out and color balance is often poor. The supplied Snapshot software regularly hangs with Windows Me. Tech support was poor (you either have to correspond by email, or call their toll number). They provided no help regarding Snapshot hanging, even though I've seen several postings from others with the same problem. The software is not compatible with Windows 2000, and probably not Windows XP. The screen size of the 10 second video clips is tiny to the point of almost being useless. The clips look fair as long as the background is plain and the camera doesn't move. Otherwise, the video clips are very crude. Because the quality of the still pictures is so variable depending on the lighting, I would only use this camera as a "toy". After having the camera for a month, I found that I would not want to use it in any situation where I wanted reliable photos. I would rather spend a little more and get a dependable digital camera.
Rating: Summary: Great camera, decent software Review: The camera works well as a stand alone device, considering the money paid. Its simple to operate, and the pictures are fine for the usual family emails, for-sale postings, etc.The software was buggy until I downloaded an upgrade to the SNAPSHOT application. Some of the time, it does not find the camera when you start it. The simple workaround is to disconnect the cable and reconnect it. The rest of the software works well with the upgrade for Windows ME and I am fairly satisfied.
Rating: Summary: Good Camera but caused an IR conflict with my TV card Review: The camera, resolution, and light sensitivity is better than the other two I've tested. However, it caused an IR conflit with my TV card, and worst of all, no change was not allowed for the IR address conflict.
Rating: Summary: Great camera with a great price Review: The Intel PC Pocket Camera has the greatest webcam quality out there IMHO. It is affordable with a simple and nice design. The batteries last long. The USB connection is a fast and more efficient way for this came. Very user friendly and easy to install. As a digital camera, it is best ONLY for beginners. The quality can be surprising wonderful in the right light. It's portability can let you take quick snap shots of anything quickly. It has 8MB of memory which is about 100 640x480 pics. A great digital camera for anyone starting out and to progressive onto the bigger names, like Kodak and Fujifilm. This camera is great for quick snaps while out, webcam shots and netconferencing. Great deal!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Camera, worth every cent. Review: The Intel Pocket PC Camera is a great camera to own. I find the quality to be AMAZING. Sure it has no flash, but that's one thing i can live without seeing as to how i have ANOTHER camera with a flash that i use for backup. Anyhow, the CCD Sensor is probably the best thing about it. CMOS sensor cameras are usually [bad]and you can't see colors in shady areas (non-lit areas). The intel is very easy to operate and anybody could figure it out. The software is wonderful and the webcam is too. This whole camera is a great buy...the pictures will blow you away, just like it did to me. I have the rare black one so it looks less childish, heh. :o)
Rating: Summary: niiiiiice. Review: This camera is *a lot* better than it looks at a glance. It takes nice, sharp pictures. The only problem is that they don't have software for win2k yet...but after they release it, i would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a digital cam. You can even use it as a regular webcam.
Rating: Summary: Good Stills, Ok Video Review: This camera is good for the middle of the road. It does both video and stills, but doesn't do either great. The stills are good, but not forgiving at all with motion. You must hold the camera still. I find using the stand as much as possible works best. In daylight, camera works well. Video is a mixed bag. Camera claims 30 fps at 240 x 180, but in every one of my test with voice quality audio the picture really stutters. 15 fps is the closet I have gotten to good quality and for get about trying at 640 x 480. If you are looking for better video there are better cameras out there, but as a hybrid it works just fine.
Rating: Summary: Good piece for the price Review: this camera is good for the price i paid. it serves both purposes reasonably well, though to get good picture quality we need to take pictures in bright light. no flash is a major disadvatage to this camera. software that comes with this is easy to install and easy to use. i could get 120 pictures of good quality out of this camera at a stretch. looks cute and fits easily in the pocket.
Rating: Summary: Great product for the casual photographer. Review: This camera is simple, fast and easy to use and therefore will be something you'll use alot. It can take lots of good quality pics in a format that is perfect for sending to relatives and friends without having to spend hours in photo-editing cropping and reformatting to a reasonable size file for emailing. High-Res pics are really much larger than the average person ever needs. The hassle and expense of messing with film has limited my picture taking over the years. This camera takes lots of pics very easily and I never have to buy film again. The image editing software that comes with it is pretty nice too... easy to use and quite powerful for the average person. I'd recommend this camera to anyone like me. It makes a great quality web cam also.
