Summary: it was realy nice
Review: 2 weeks ago i purchased the intel digital camera with my friend after reading the customer review it's realy a helpful way, i found the camera very helpful and realy nice, the pics was in high quality resolution, it can take a good images at low light conditions, the movie is quite small but it's still helpful in some applications, but the drawback is the 10 seconds vedio, u cann't take the whole 2 min vedio in one file, the software is so wonderful , but i faced a strange problem, i didn't find the camera software in the suuplied CD, so i turned it back and get the right one, be sure to check the cd's come with the camera all i can say is it's great camera with a great price also, don't waste your time if u want to share pics with your family and friends

Summary: how to get it to work well
Review: best value for your money? probably. i've had it for about 3 months now and have not had any problems. the camera is advertised as being able to take 128 pictures at 640x480 but having have taken it on vacation, it took a good 165 before being full. the remote video at 320x240 is okay, light permitting, but for 129 bucks, i'm not really asking for all that much. attatched video and macro lens are REALLY impressive and the software is really consumer friendly. If people are having all of these problems with it, i'm assuming that they are running an OS that is not compatible (ie W2000). I'm running it on 98 and am having no problems whatsoever. Only drawbacks are that it has no flash and no remote audio, but if you know that going into it, its really not a dissapointment. Great pocket cam. Takes really good pictures and has a great supplementary software package.

Summary: Very Good Video Image Quality...
Review: Don't let the "toy-like looks" confuse u... Video: Living 5,000 miles from my cousin (Dominican Republic-Chile)... it's almost a miracle that he can see us clearly... Using it as a normal digital camera: obviously pictures are not as sharp as other digital cameras... BUT, they're still great... Cons: Lacks an integrated mic... I recommend this high tech toy...

Summary: Great inexpensive camera
Review: For the price, this is the best camera out there....

Pros: Light weight, long battery life, inexpensive, great software, great pictures under ideal conditions.

Cons: The biggest issue with this camera is that it is pretty sensitive to light and does not have a flash. With low light, the pictures come out blurry due to the long exposure time. To remedy this, you have to keep very still for a good amount of time to let the picture expose.

When conditions are ideal, this little camera really shines and the picture quality is very good....It's so easy and convenient to use.

Summary: Sample pix - Intel Pocket PC digital camera
Review: GREAT performance for the money. Don't expect professional results however - at least 1.3MPx digitals needed then. Perhaps however best view as a great tethered camera that, as a bonus, can go "walkabout" when needed. Nothing else noted (at the price) with such esteemed CCD sensors... el cheapo digitals usually are CMOS based that flare badly in uneven lighting. Minor negatives (pun !)include slight delay after pushing shutter ... sometimes leading to blurred images, only modest depth of field when used free ... seems optimised around 2m "portrait" distance, & occasional non clicking into place of the focus ring. Strong positives include HUGE pix. capacity (120+ shots), non volatile RAM ( nothing can get lost ), amazing battery life (still on original AAAs after 6 weeks )& outstanding software when tethered ( becomes USB powered & even allows time & motion triggered security shots /webcam etc). Macro features,(focuses to ~50mm = 2") when USB tethered to PC, are A1 & espec. useful for close ups of tiny electronic/ biology goodies etc. EDUCATORS- every such classroom should have one! Virtually up with Intel's blue "Play" USB PC microscope we also use in fact - that too is now going cheaply.

Summary: Good use of low light situations
Review: I bought a Logiteck 3000 and was very disappointed in it's darkness and graininess in medium to low light. Backlighting really messed it up. I exchanged it for the Intel Pocket PC and am very pleased with the dramatic difference in picture quality. Same location, same lighting, and much much much better! Downside, in October 2001 the Windows 2000 drivers were kludgy. It makes me nervous that the manufacturer didn't pursue Windows 2000 users.

Summary: a pocket wonder
Review: i bought this webcam as i needed to keep in touch with my family and my boyfriend both of whom are far far away from me! when i loaded the first set of photographs- u wont believe the ecstasy! they looked so much better than any of the photos i had ever clicked! i think i had done as good as a professional photographer!
also when i connected it to my pc for videoconferencing- my family said they could see me so clearly that it felt like i was almost there.
all in all this is a wonderful product and i would strongly recomend it for people who need to keep in touch with their loved ones over the internet!

Summary: Camera is okay, but the software is bad
Review: I experienced multiple system errors when attempting to download images from the camera to the computer. This software glitch effectively renders the camera useless. I contacted Intel technical support regarding this, but they were not responsive. I will definately stay away from Intel cameras in the future.

Summary: The Best
Review: I find this to be a very simple, user-friendly camera that is loaded with unexpected features. The picture quality is excellent...everything comes out crisp and clear. I use it to send pictures and short videos via email, and in conjunction with my auction listings. The camera comes with its own 9 ft cable, but can be detached and used as a stand-alone digital camera. I take it with me everywhere...birthday parties, get-togethers, road trips...it is very compact and stores up to 199 pictures when detached. When I come home I just hook it up to the cable, upload my pictures into the Intel Gallery and send them to my email associates or web site. There are many other uses that I have not mentioned...it can functon like a Web Cam and capture live video from your desktop, has a multi-snap mode which allows you to take a rapid succession of pictures, and the manual says you can use it to make video phone calls (that's beyond my realm of understanding!!!).

This was a Christmas present for me and quite honestly, I didn't think it would last very long. It looks cheap, but it is a real work horse! I use it constantly and have not had any problems with it whatsoever.

4 1/2 Stars...Only because I am still not sure of its total capabilities and have had it a short time.
