4.0 out of 5 stars Very small, infinitely convenient, July 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Casio CompactFlash Digital PDA Camera Attachment (Office Product)

The Casio CompactFlash Digital PDA Camera Attachment has been everything that I had expected it to be. First, I was never expecting the worlds most powerful camera. What the Casio PDA attachment offers is the option to have a very small camera at your disposal at any time. It weighs nearly nothing and is very small, as you can see from the picture.

Downloading from the camera to the pc has been relatively easy, and the bitmaps are smaller than with a high end digital camera so they load faster. An added convenience for me ( I travel a lot) is that there are no additional accessories needed other than the cradle that comes with the Cassiopeia.

The camera does use battery power pretty extensively. However, I didn't really find a need to have the camera in use for any considerable length of time. Usually only about 10 seconds and then I had my picture, so I didn't really notice a great impact.

The pictures are good, with all digital cameras, the color LCD is a little lacking, but still really not bad.

One nice feature is that the camera swivels. You can view the picture you are trying to take if it is front of you, or if it IS you. (also any angle in between)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not A Keeper, January 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Casio CompactFlash Digital PDA Camera Attachment (Office Product)

Definitely high on the wow factor scale. But after that wears off you realize that you have a very poor quality digital camera. The most critical failing is that the pictures are out of focus much beyond 20 feet or so (i.e., can't focus at infinity). The muddy colors don't help either. Though perhaps tolerable to some on the limited Casio display, when tranferred to the PC the picture quality is intolerable. Even the poorest quality 640 x 480 digital camera shines by comparison. I give it three stars only because it does integrate well with the Cassiopeia and I think the fact it can make mini movies is pretty slick. Nevertheless I returned mine to Casio.

Very cool gadget for the Cassiopeia but the picture is indeed rough especially when blown up on a PC. Photo quality is also dim without sunlight. Definitely not for pro or serious photo shoots. Okay for casual image capture. You may have to wait until they come up with higher pixels. ...
