Doubles as a Digital Camera & a Webcam for your PC.......2005-05-09

Want to get a digital camera and a webcam all in one? This is the best buy for the money. Does'nt take the best pictures as the more expensive models; but who can go wrong on this bargin especially if you have children. Comes with a softwear cd that downloads a desktop icon called " PC-CAM CENTER". From there you can download the pictures from your camera. Has a HIGH DENSITY & LOW DINSITY mode for the quality of pic'c you desire; click the Album tab and create your personal album to transfere pictures; create other albums too; then delete pic's from the download section, camera is cleared and your off to take more snapshots. If you want to chat with friends or family via the internet; it becomes a live webcam. Kid's will have great fun with the 300 and it makes a great graduation gift and talk about durability, I droped mine a couple of times and it seem to never affect it. I'm buying several for birthday and graduation gifts.

Powerful for a little Web cam.......2002-12-22

I previously owned a Xirlink Video Media IBM USB PC Camera and it was horrid. The pictures were dark and funky. I decided it was time for me to get one with real power. I shopped around for a camera that wasn't fancy, but would do the job for the right price. This is it. The pictures are far better than what I experienced with the previous one, but they're not perfect as you expect with a fancier digital camera in the $200-$400 range. For instance, I took pictures of a toddler and they were a little orangy compared to a regular digital camera. When I take pictures of objects, they turn out nicely and rarely blurry (usually my fault).

I use this camera as a Web cam and to take pictures that I want quickly to put on the Internet and top quality is not of importance. Surprisingly, this camera even takes short videos. I filmed the first video on the first time I used it and was surprised how easy it was to capture the movie and then put it on the PC.

Beginners should find this one easy to learn with the help of an instruction manual. Intermediate and advanced users should be able to dig right in -- maybe look at the manual for button information. I used this Web cam when we were building a pool and enjoyed seeing the captured photos when I was away from home, but had access to the Internet.

A simply superb little camera.......2002-04-25

I am fairly new to photography so needed something that was going to be easy to use and give me decent results~ this camera surpassed all my expectations.
It is small and light,easy to slip into a pocket or purse, and the shape makes it really comfortable to hold,that's a good plus for me, but the quality of the pictures it produces(128 at good quality) has to be seen to be believed,and thats the clincher!!You are getting, almost true, digital camera quality photos for the price of a web-cam. Obviously you dont get a zoom or some of the other features that you can expect when you pay for a digital camera, but, if you want a web-cam that takes superb pics, that's exactly what you will get,and more, this is real value for money.
It also has a video and voice recording capability and the software that comes with it is good, but, if you have a great imaging programme all ready, this, little beauty has twain~~ so you can import from your PC~CAM 300 straight to either the PC-CAM's photo centre or your own programme.
I love this camera,it is so much more than a web-cam,and is simplicity itself to use. I have had so much pleasure and enjoyment since I have had it~~it is one purchase I will never regret.
