Aiptek PenCam ll Trio

I bought this digital cameral for my 14yr old for his birthday. But while he has been at school I have have been having great fun with it.

Description
Requires win 98 or higher.

Pros: Highly portable, runs on 2 AAA batteries, good for kitschy snapshots or mini-movies.
Cons: Irritating beep when camera takes a picture, no flash on camera.

In the days where you can purchase at least a 1.3 megapixel camera for slightly more than $100, it might not make much sense to spend anywhere from $50 to $80 on something that doesn't present you with a lot of options.

Having heard all of the...

Pros: Fits in your pocket, low cost, color photos, works independent of computer, adequate software included.
Cons: Image quality is poor without good lighting, may break if dropped,

My personal experience with this camera:

I have only had this camera for about two weeks, but have managed to put it to the test. Overall the camera is fairly easy to use and the image quality is good enough for capturing moments that you...

Pros: Easy to use, good interface great "gadget" appeal
Cons: cheap plastic parts poor low-light performance marginal image quality

I Was browsing ebay for a cheap digital "snapshot" camera and happened upon a some listings for the Aiptek Pencam. It sounded like a great concept...an inobtrusive little camera that easily fits into the average pocket protector. Too Cool! I thought this...

Pros: easy-to-use, inexpensive, compact, marginal image quality
Cons: design flaws and missing features, marginal image quality

After spending a week so far with my Aiptek PenCam 2, it's pretty much what I expected but falls short when looking at some of the touted features and some of the design flaws. It IS highly compact, but unfortunately said design flaws deteriorate from...

Pros: Tiny about twice as thick as a normal quality pen and very unobtrusive quick snaps.
Cons: No LCD/flash, limited image storage, needs outdoor lighting or bright indoors.

This camera produces pictures suitable for email and small displays on a web site. It is not really good enough for printed snapshots unless you get lucky with the conditions. It will do scenery but is probably better used to snap photos of your friends. ...

Pros: Small, Easy to Use, Cheap, Fun to Use, Bundled Software, Three Functions
Cons: OK Image Quality, No Flash, Battery Drainer, Few Features, Spoils-the-Fun Beep when Taking Pictures

Size Does Matter: Introduction

This camera gets all the attention, because of its size and that's probably the only attention it should get. The small size might have prevented from higher quality parts to go into it because it's image...

Pros: As small as a large magic marker, good, simple e-camera to carry all the time.
Cons: No flash, marginal lens.

For father's day my daughter gave me an AIPTEK Pencam 2, she said she bought it for about $40 on a TV shopping network. It is so easy to use, I loved it right away. You can take 107 pictures in the low resolution mode, or 26 in the high mode. The low...

Pros: Excellent image quality, perfectly portable.
Cons: Why would a spy camera BEEP when pictures are taken?

If this camera were actually carried in the pocket, it would not last long. However, it fits perfectly inside a hardshell eyeglass case easily available anywhere for a few bucks. This makes it "perfectly portable".

Image quality is...

Pros: small, convinent , easy to use , high quality live imagez & picturez
Cons: no flash & you lose all your pix if the battery goez dead .

Since I got the Pencam2 for Christmas I've had a lot

as well as take picturez and not have to wait for them
to get developed at the store or 1hr photo . It'z simple , easy to...

Pros: very small, cool toy
Cons: drains batteries, bad photo quality, software only works with Windows 98 and above

Well, a 12 year old doesn't have much money to spend on expensive cameras and such, but I really wanted a digital camera. I was reluctant to purchase a camera with less than one-megapixel resolution, but when I saw this tiny, stylish little camera......
