HSN ....big hype little else

by kas12 , Feb 23 '01
Pros: Compact size, has its own mini stand when needed.
Cons: Crappy Battery life,cant take pics in a poorly lighted room
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...

Love my Pen Cam

by RobinNGabster , Dec 04 '00
Pros: Small, easy to use and fun!
Cons: No carrying case, no flash
My husband and I bought this pen cam because of the low price. We bought it on a shopping channel for 79.00. The minute it arrived in the mail we ripped it open and filled it with batteries and haven't stopped using it. It is so handy to have and it is...

Great deal for the money

by bryan5549 , Feb 16 '01
Pros: lightweight, easy to use, inexpensive
Cons: no flash, image quality acceptable but not great
Like many others, I also have a very good digital camera (an Olympus 2500). It takes superb pics and I use it a great deal. However, the idea of an inexpensive, very portable camera was too hard for this gadget freak to resist. I paid $80 for it and...

Broken 1st Day

by allheart , Dec 25 '00
Pros: Small, lightweight, inexpensive
Cons: Cheaply made of thin plastic.
Received the pencam as a Christmas present. After reading the manual I was excited about taking some pictures. I loaded the software that came with the pencam and decided to connect to computer instead of wasting the batteries. When I plugged the USB...

Skip this one

by lpslps , Feb 16 '01
Pros: Small, Low cost, Computer Interface
Cons: IMAGE QUALITY
This camera is not good. I am returning mine since I have no use for it. The low cost and portability are its only good points. These good points are overshadowed by it terrible image quality. It is not worth using since most of the photos will come out...

It does 3 thinks badly

by briansdesigns , May 29 '01
Pros: it's portable
Cons: Its resolution is really bad
This is another product that does everything, but does them badly. I wish they would have focused on one thing to redeem it. But the quality of the video and so called "still" images is so bad, nobody would bear to show them off. You get a tiny little...

by guyoncomputer , Nov 12 '00
Pros: Lots
Cons: Only one, no flash.
After buying this little gizmo for $89.00 I figured what the heck, lets try it out! WOW!! it's little, lightweight, and easy to use. I carry it in my pocket and must say it is way cool! Pictures are clear and robust in color. 80 pictures in high res. The...

Not sure

by daytonabob , Nov 12 '00
Pros: light weight , hold in palm of hand
Cons: needs light, batteries need replacing often
I bought this camera from a home shopping ad on tv. It has a lot of possibilities. I haven't learned all the basic functions yet. The instructions were not very explanatory enough for me. It's fun and easy to use. The batteries (2ea.3AAA) don't last very...

not real happy with this one.

by misstina , Apr 23 '01
Pros: expense wise it's great! It's also a nice size to carry around .
Cons: found that it's really picky about how you take a picture.
not happy with it because it was hard to figure out how to be able to take a good photo. After taking 80 pictures and only being able to save 3 I just don't think the percentage is all that great. just for fun is fine but won't rely on it for any...

Great Conversation Piece

by aunttonit , Oct 24 '00
Pros: small and good pictures
Cons: no sound, no flash
I purchased 4 of these cameras from a Home Shopping Club at $79.00 each - 1 for myself and 3 for presents.. To look at them you would think it was right out of James Bond movie. Since it is my "other" digital camera I only have that to compare...

crappy camera

by Prentice , Nov 30 '00
Pros: small, looks cool, sounds cool, comes with batteries :)
Cons: quality sucks big time. bad software
Ok, I work in a department store and I saw the camera come in one day so I thought I'd give it a try. I bought it and took it home one day and I tried taking some pictures with it. For one, the dll that comes with it to view pictures kept crashing every...

by knippd_dt3000 ,Dec 29 '02
Software is terrible, documentation is worse. Does not work with Yahoo Messenger (and not supported, Yahoo offers regedit work around, which did not work), because does not offer 160X120 or 320X240. Purchased for use with Y-Messenger. Who knows what else it does not work with?

by whomever_dt3000 ,Oct 19 '02
i thought it is far better picture quality than logitec and many others out there for web cam use. digital pictures are ok but cant compare to a real digital camera costing 5X the price dont like that the usb cord is not fixed to camera. at times the usb cord would fall out. i am actually buying my second camera after about 2 1/2 years because the usb connector for cam doesnt work anymore (pins inside are messed up)
