Customer Review: Piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
This camera was inexpencive and I noticed when I bought it that it was just a fixed-focus, no flash, CMOS censor that only supports CIF resolution so I was not expecting to get good pictures out of it. Having that said, the picture quality of this thing is still a big disapointment. On the other hand I had no problem at all loading the software / driver in Windows XP like others have said. This camera was cheap, but I still feel like I got ripped off because something that takes pictures this horrible should cost under $10. I used to own another small CMOS censor no-flash fixed focus camera and the pictures it took were 10x better.Customer Review: Good for some kids

I normally use a Pentax K1000 film camera, but my son gave me a Philips Keychain camerea to take apart and experiment with. Instead, I started using it because there is no cost to taking a picture.
I found that the other comments were probably accurate, but ommitted that if the subject is within 10 feet, or so, the picture is probably not too bad. I have had poor results with white subjects in bright sunlight.
The other thing that helps is to make a big effort to steady the camera when taking a picture.
I am using regargable NiMH batteries and am quite pleased with the time between charges.

Summary: 4 Stars
I actually love this camera. For $15 it was a real steal.
Pros: Small, many modes, keychain, if you have it in school teachers think it is just a toy (rather than a prohibited camera), takes great nice pictures, adorable!! And very durable. (I was tossing it around, and dropped it on the concrete, it borke into peices, but is extremely easy to put back together and reuse.
Cons: If you take out the batteries it loses pictures, takes small pictures, easy to break (but easy to put back together)
The little peak hole is to look into from afar. If you put your eye up to it, it is blurry.
Customer Review: Only for the curious...

I bought the first one of these cameras in a thift shop for less than three dollars. Since it did not have a USB cable I got this one though Amazon. It turned out that neither camera was operational. What attracted me was the 2 1/4 x 1 1/2 x 1/4 inch size. If I saw one for under $5.00 I would still buy it, but I am nuts. Read other reviews if you want to know how bad the thing is even when it is working. If you just want to take pictures buy a diffrent camera.
By the way, I don't think the PHILIPS logo has anything to do with the highly reputable Philips Electronics of the Netherlands.
Customer Review: Decent Gift for Preteens
Summary: 3 Stars
I just bought this little gem for my niece this Christmas (2005).
* Pro: She loves it, especially, the not-too-bad webcam feature.
* Con: For the price, can't really complain about the quality of images. The software interface could be better.
* Question: "How do I...?" After taking up 20 photos and filling up the internal memory, NEITHER SHE NOR I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO DELETE or FLUSH the memory in order to take new photos! She lost the manual (if there was any). Downloading the pics to the PC does not reset the memory either.. Please HELP, anybody... :-)
