Digital camera reviews of Sharp VNEZ1 MPEG-4 Internet Viewcam
Digital camera Review: Compact
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got this little digital recorder as a mothers day gift. I have had great fun taking pictures all day long. It is so easy to use and the software is also easy to install. I am no dummy,however sometimes downloading software can be a pain in the butt. So if you are looking for an easy digital camera and recorder at once I strongly suggest that you buy this little guy. Enjoy clicking away!! I sure did. Susan :)Digital camera Review: Great camera for desktop publishing!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was suprised at the good quality this small camera will produce. It is very easy to use for beginners. Takes excellent still photos, But you will need to invest in a tripod for the best quality picture in still or video. Very easy to install on your computer, both the software and the smartmedia. A big plus is it is ready to use, you don't have to buy anything else for your computer or the camera.Digital camera Review: Great product, but only for web video
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product, and appears to be the only one in its class (filmless/tapeless camcorders). And, it's even smaller than it looks in the picture. It makes reasonable quality video recordings -- up to an hour long (with a 32MB SmartMedia card), or longer if you use the time lapse mode and an (included) AC adaptor. (You can upload the video files to the web; Sharp recommends POPcast, a free video hosting service.) It also has a still photo mode, although the resolution isn't so hot. Four alkaline AA batteries supposedly last for a full hour of recording time; my experience so far has been consistent with that claim, and I haven't bothered purchasing long-life (not nicad) rechargeables. You'll definitely want to buy a larger SmartMedia card than the 4MB that comes with the camera; SanDisk and other manufacturers make 32MB cards for about $60. I also recommend adding a USB SmartMedia reader for another $40 or so, although the included floppy disk SmartMedia adapter works on most PCs with internal floppy drives. And start watching for sales on alkaline AA batteries; you'll go through a lot of them with this great camera!Digital camera Review: Hi-tech toy
Summary: 4 Stars
The picture quality isn't comparable to "regular" digital cameras, but then again - this isn't a regular camera! The Internet Viewcam is extremely small and very easy to handle (point and shoot). Barely OK for taking simple still images (640 x 480) and OK for making small MPEG-4 movies (max 320 x 240) that you can distribute over the Internet. It's really simple to transfer pictures and movies to/from the camera via the included smartmedia floppy adapter, but the bundled software is crappy. The Internet Viewcam is more of a toy than anything else (because of the poor picture quality), but I would recommend anyone to buy it as it's the coolest hi-tech toy I've seen in years.Digital camera Review: It's a good web cam!

Web cams are a dime a dozen but this one does a good job
