| kas12's Full Review: Aiptek Pencam Trio Webcam |
Yeah I know, I should stop buying stuff featured on the Home shopping network. It always looks so good when they are showing it on tv. Well I think after buying 3 cameras I have finally learned my lesson. At least this camera has lasted more than a month. I saw the camera and liked the features of it being a 3 in one camera, where you could take digital pics, use it as a live web cam and also take video shots..Well all I have been able to do is take regular digital photos..because everything else is extremely complicated and you need to have just the right set up for it. The camera itself is ok for taking low resolution ebay shots but don't use it for the once in a life time family reunion. Once the batteries die or you disconnect the power before putting the batteries back in you lose all your shots stored on the camera. I have found that I need to remove the batteries after each use when hooked up to the computer or the batteries die very quickly. This is extremely frustrating having to hunt up a set of triple A batteries each time you want to take a picture a few feet away from the computer. I paid just over 100 dollars for this camera in January. I have now seen it as low as 75 dollars so I guess you get what you paid for.
