Editorial Review
This tiny camera is small enough to fit on a keychain, and not only does it take pictures at 640x480 resolution but it can also store up to 100 seconds of video. The Dual Mode Camera is a multi purpose Digital Camera with a high speed USB interface. It is the perfect digital camera for those seeking a quick and easy way to share pictures. The Mini Digital Camera is a two in one solution that combines the features of a digital still camera and a digital video camera.The Mini Digital Camera uses a 300K pixel VGA quality CMOS sensor to capture high resolution pictures when used as a digital camera. Snap still photos at a 640x480 image resolution. You can also capture a movie like a camcorder and save it as a video file, which could then be sent to anybody via E-Mail.It has twice as much imaging memory as any other digital camera in its class with 16 Megabytes built-in. The USB interface makes it easy to connect the digital camera to a PC to download stored images for later editing. Its super tiny size makes it easy to carry and allows you to take it virtually anywhere. A great Arcsoft software package with Photo Impression & Video Impression is also included, so that you can edit and customize pictures.

great camera

2008-07-04
This camera is really nice, I have been using it a lot. It's really fun and easy.

Dont waste time(not money)

2008-05-17
Although the price is nice, its like its useless. You can't really have a decent picture, I tried all settings, hi Res, low Res, any configuration posible, with no success, and sometimes it makes like a short-circuit and the batteries are wasted.
The problem is that all this tipe of mini cameras use a CMOS sensor wich captures bad quality images, while others use CCD sensor, which is much better.
Really dont buy it. I didnt want a camera mora than 1MP, but with this you dont get a image.

Good if you don't expect too much.

Don't expect this to be a perfect camera. The photos tend to be dark (no flash), and the quality is not great. That said, I have a camera in my pocket to take snapshots of events that I wouldn't bother bringing a bigger camera to. For me, it's worth a few dollars to have a camera with me, even if I use a different camera for planned shooting.

Even at top quality, it takes enough photos. The software is easy to use and the digital scrapbook is cute and easy to use, though not designed for printing. The webcam feature works very well, especially with Skype. Just install the camera, plug it in, start Skype, and away you go. The film option works, but only for a few seconds. For my needs, the camera is worth the price.

MAKE SURE:
1. Load the software before you plug the camera into your computer.
2. This camera only works with a PC.
3. It uses a AAA battery and has a reasonable life span. But if your battery goes dead, you lose your photos.

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

PC Magazine Guide to Digital Photography

Editorial Reviews from Book News, Inc.
A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos. The handbook includes color and b&w images, a glossary, and sidebars and Web links for further technical details.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
