3.0 out of 5 stars This is a 0.3 Megapixel Camera, December 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Philips Key Rink 007 VGA Wearable 64MB USB Key Ring Camera (Electronics)

Buy this if you want a cool-looking and very portable, digital camera that you'll use primarily outdoors to take low-quality, low-resolution pictures which you'll never print.

As I write this, the product description says that it stores 400 "high quality photos" and that the pictures can be converted to "1.3 Megapixel quality." Both statements are dishonest. Philips itself never makes these claims in its documentation or on its website. While it can store 400 photos, this camera does not take "high quality photos."

It takes VGA pictures, which is 640x480 (307,200 pixels, or 0.3 Megapixels). And while the included software can enlarge the photos (to 4 million pixels) and soften the pixelation, the quality is still that of a 0.3 Megapixel camera.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just okay, December 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Philips Key Rink 007 VGA Wearable 64MB USB Key Ring Camera (Electronics)

This is the cutest camera, but that is about it. The pictures are not very clear--lots of pixels. You can't take pictures in moderate light. You must not twitch or the picture will blur. The focus is off. The lens isn't dead center, so you have to adjust your position for a centered picture. The print out is low quality. But again, it is cute and very James Bond looking. It also works like a jump drive and you can transport files (word docs, pictures, etc.). I would have preferred to pay about half of what I did, but it will make a fun gadget on Christmas day and to keep in the car as the just-in-case-camera.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Idea, Bad Quality, December 26, 2003

This seemed great...portable and compact, recharges via the USB port. But the picture quality was way below sub-par and no flash makes it hard to take a good photo anywhere but in extremely direct light. Very disappointing, and with photophones coming down in price, it is not a streach to buy a camera-phone and get something more usefull. The only reason I gave it two stars was the looks and the size.
