Digital Concepts Gear to Go DC141C 1.3MP minireview

Got it at radio shack.

Cheap $25 camera. Can also be used as a web cam on Windows at least – don’t know about Mac.

8MB of memory allows about 20 pictures at highest resolution.

video at 8 frames/sec can be taken. It’s noisier than the still photos and web cam though.

Lots of people rate this bad, but what should they really expect from a $25 camera? If you want clearer photos, get a disposable film camera for $10. This might be a good toy for young kids.

Shutter lag is 0.4 to 0.5 seconds, so keep that in mind if you’re photographing a moving subject.

To determine this, I photographed a web stopwatch and clicked the shutter when a new second started.

First picture was originally taken at 1280×1008, second picture was taken at 640×480. There’s no difference in capture speed, so may as well use 1280×1008 most of the time unless memory is an issue.
