Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $60.00 from vietnam

Summary:
Never buy this product or you will regret throwing it into a trashcan. Look at the pictures in the sample gallery to check then you will see. My submit is taken with an Aiptek Pocketcam 1.3. This gives sharp (near) pictures but the color sux after all. I use Fujifilm Finepix 2400Zoom right now (i''ll never think of Aiptek again)

Strengths:
Nothing but cheap

Weaknesses:
lack all features that a digital cam should have. PC CAM : dark due to low sensitivity CCD sensor.

Similar Products Used:

Customer Service:
i live in Vietnam. No Customer Service here

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $60.00 from Walmart

Summary:
This is the best thing happened after sliced bread. Its so small I carry it with my key chain. It takes awesome pictures outdoors and when it comes to indoors it needs the white light. It will give you dark, very dark pictures under regular halogen lights. I also got an external flash (the one used for SLR cameras) and that fixed the problem of taking pictures indoors.

Strengths:
1.3 Mega Pixel Easy use with XP. East upload and operation of the camera.

Weaknesses:
Dark pictures with out light. Lack of Flash. Could use a lens cap.

Similar Products Used:
Nothing similar to this.

Customer Service:
Didn't need to call them.
