5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to use muti functioning camara and camcorder, December 15, 2001

I bought this camera on November 21, 2001. This camera is very easy to use. It has 3 diferent settings for picture quality. This camera also acts as a camcorder that records audio away from your computer. The camera comes with 16mb of internal memory.(A slot allows a smart memory card to be added up to 128mb) It will take close to a minute and half of video with audio from the internal memory. The software is easy to use for both pictures and video. The camera also subs as a pc camera. I have already sent many video e-mails to friends. It is very compact and lightweight (the size of a throw away 35 mm camera) with a long battery life. The camera comes with a stand to fit on the computer and a traveling case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for., December 7, 2001

By A Customer

I wanted an inexpensive way to take and send pictures of my newborn over the internet. This camera works great. The software loaded easy and I was snapping pictures in no time. There are less expensive alternatives, but the ability to shoot 1.3 Megapixel resolution, have a flash, and smartmedia expandability makes this well worth the money. I was able to take 20 pictures at the highest resolution - Intel said to expect 14. It's nice to have a product over perform! Can't wait to try the video options.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 5-star product in its class, January 5, 2002

A friend of mine from Minnesota bought it for me at a local shop and I got it here in Romania in mid December. I think the new Intel Pocket Digital PC Camera launched November 2001 at $... on Intel Direct Shopping site is a real wonder in its category. 16 Mb internal memory, plus expansion slot for Smart Media cards up to 128 Mb, buit-in flash and microphone (and speaker to hear click sounds during operation), two aperture lens (f2.8/f8.0), automatic or manual white balance control, USB connection to PC, fantastic software. The camera comes with a stand to fit on the computer, strap and traveling case. While connected to PC via USB to download pictures or be used as webcam it does not need battery power. Four AAA normal or alkaline batteries are required only when camera is used away from your PC as a digital still camera. Since there is no LCD screen on the back of the camera (in my view an extravagance anyway) to focus or preview shots, the battery life is amazing. I just replaced the original 4 (regular) batteries after emptying twice the 16Mb memory full of snapshots, most of them with flash! Nifty resolution and storage capabilities for a camera in this category: 256 pics at 640x480, or 96 pics at 1024x768, or 14 pics at 1280x960 (or combinations thereof). It can also accomodate 1 minute stored video with audio or 1 hour voice recording! Excellent webcam too. Vivid colors and working great with Yahoo Messenger, Camarades.com (have not yet tried the supplied software for Inetcam.com services). The included Intel Create and Share software is very imaginative and entertaining. The image editor program is called MGI PhotoSuite 4 Special Edition, but have had no patience to learn how to use it. I'm being faithful to my Corel Photo-Paint 10 that does the job just fine :). Although the camera appears to be in stock at major US online shops (....), it's a pitty the info provided on those sites is incomplete or incorrect and there's not even a product picture shown. Also, not selling in Europe yet, so I'm probably the first lucky European owning this pocket-sized rarity :). All in all a great buy, wholeheartedly recommended.
