towel401's Full Review: Aiptek Mini PenCam 1.3 Digital Camera
I have no idea why I bought this piece of crap. The thing that bothers me the most about it is that I dont even think that its really 1.3 mega pixels. The pictures look like theyve been enlarged from about .3 to .6

There is also a little speaker that beeps when ever you take a picture - ruining all its spy-camera and james bondness. The only way to stop this beep is to open it up and cut off the little speaker. When I did this it became horribly out of focus and didnt really work any more. So be careful if your gonna take out the speaker.

The PC software is horrible, it only runs on windows and is full of unecessary graphics that will bring any quad processor AMD64 opteron to its knees. The webcam mode often refused to work and pictures and videos were painfully slow to transfer

Recommended:
No

Amount Paid (US$): 121
This Camera is a Good Choice if You Want Something... Fool-Proof for Absolute Beginners
