Philips Reviews

It's small, sleek, and cool. You can take it with you where ever you go. No more wishing you had a camera with you when your kid makes a funny face or you get in to an accident. No batteries or memory card to buy. Just plug it in to your usb port to charge and view your PICS. The picture quality is not to bad for the size of the camera. people I've shown it to are actually surprised that pictures that good come from a camera that small. This camera is mainly for outdoor use, as the indoor lighting just doesn't cut it. Pictures taken indoors are very dark and just don't turn out. Even in well lit rooms. I like that the PICS are stored in JPEG format on the camera. They are a small file size and I don't have to convert them. It can hold 400 640x480 PICS at a time on its 64mb of space. You can view the PICS using the software or using windows explorer window. It shows up as a removable drive like a zip drive. I am having some trouble getting the camera to work with Win98, however. It probably works better with WinXP but I have not tried it yet. The camera can be used on a key chain or a connectable necklace. however the connector on the necklace is not durable and leaves you constantly worrying about the camera falling off. The Camera has a nice magnesium case. Unfortunately the plastic usb cover is not connected to the body via a string or something, and can be easily lost when taken off. The camera has three led lights for memory, power, and light sensitivity. The eye piece is a little small and kind of hard to look through. This camera has room for improvement. I think the new usb 2.0 version will be better. This stile of camera has a future with today's on the go life style. This is a small portable point and shoot camera to take with you and capture those unexpected or forgettable moments.

If you are looking for a hi-rez digital camera with lots of bells and whistles and beautiful photos, then you're going to be pretty sore if you purchase the Philips 007 Keyring Camera. If, however, you're looking for something that truly is pocket-size, portable, and a lot of fun to use, then you should be delighted. I was. Claims that this camera can take (or convert to) 1.3 megapixel quality photos are misleading and should simply be disregarded. Pictures are taken at 640x480 vga, which is most definitely low quality but still quite useful for outdoor and close-up photography that you plan to use primarily online. Foreground focus is fairly sharp, although you have to figure out the quirks to the tiny viewfinder, the curvature of which can cause you to shoot higher and more to the left than you might think you are. You also have to watch where you put your thumb. On a toy this small, blotting out half your shot with a finger can happen easily. All in all, as a novelty camera, the Philips is a load of fun, and fans of funky, quirky cameras should be overjoyed.

I bought this camera about a month ago and have taken several hundred photographs for my website at http://www.gift-ideas-for-women. So long as I take the photos in bright sunlight they turn out fine. The pictures have turned out so well that I have not even had to use the included software to enhance them. If you are looking for an inexpensive, easy to use camera that recharges while plugged into your PC then this is the camera you want.

Great price but no product. Order it then watch Office Depot cancel the order. After a couple days of back and forth they will let you know it's because they don't have any. Fun fun fun.
