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)

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. ...

this product does not need that much info to attract consumers. just by looking at it you are already drawn to it's looks. the compact design and the ability to not just take digital pictures but moving pics. 45 secs worth. this product is a must have for the cassiopeia user. LOVE IT!

This is definitely a great little gadget to show off your Cassiopeia. And it actually takes tolerable pictures. The overall quality of the images and video are not great but it definitely works if you're in a pinch.

I have the JK-710DC camera attached to my E-115. It takes great photos and short videos. My only complaint is that it discharges the battery rather quickly, but not as quickly as the E-105 I owned. Its a must buy with this PocketPC!

No one is a bigger gadget geek then me. I love innovated products and rather have a gadget over diamonds any day. With that said, I fell in love instantly when I saw the Casio's Pocket PC with the Camera attachment at a business meeting. From the moment I purchases my own (in 2000) I knew I would find multiple uses for my new toy.

I will be completely honest; this device does not take the greatest pictures in the world! HOWEVER, this camera has been a lifesaver on many occasions. I have met stars unexpectedly and taken pictures with them, stored pictures of my home to compare items in the store, endless job related purposes. It also came with video caption software and you can take 30 seconds of video and transfers it to your device and link up to your computer. Especially living in New York City, you just don't know what you're going to see! You can also transfer pictures from your pc to the handheld to cherish your favorite pictures on your mobile device. My only complaint is you have to have good lighting and you have to be completely still you get a decent photo. As for printing the pictures, the smaller you print the pictures the better the print. I never excess 4 x 6 prints and usually print 3 x 5.

This camera is for someone you love gadgets, loves pictures, and just loves to show off. No matter where I go people (including stars) always seem to be impressed with this device. Most important I'm impressed and I look forwarded for Casio to create one with better resolution. I purchase this about two years ago and I'm still happy with it. The price has dropped from when I obtained mine so that's even more reason to get this. Sometimes you don't have room in your bags or briefcase for a separate camera, and with device your camera is where your handheld pc is!

NOTE: Keep in mind if you need a digital camera then this is not for you the resolution is too low. Strictly for the gadget geeks.

I give it 5/5 starts for the following reasons:

1) User friendly, not complicated at all.
2) One of the lightest cameras doesn't add weight to your device.
3) Excellent quality, it is Casio ;)
4) Flexible, it can be rotated in different positions with focus.
5) Price! Because I got 50% OFF ;)
6) It supports Siemens SX45, and I am using it.

Check for compatibility if you are interested you can visit casio for additional information.

Have fun...
