Go APE on windows 2000

by battaliou , Nov 04 '01
Pros: Cheap, portable, inconspicuous, possible to install on 2000
Cons: 26 frames does not a video make!
My father bought himself a new pc and got a webcam with it. This meant that his AIPTEK webcam which he had bought previously was up for grabs. This was good.

My joy soon turned to frustration when I realised that the cd supplied was not going...

It does 3 thinks badly

by briansdesigns , May 29 '01
Pros: it's portable
Cons: Its resolution is really bad
This is another product that does everything, but does them badly. I wish they would have focused on one thing to redeem it. But the quality of the video and so called "still" images is so bad, nobody would bear to show them off. You get a tiny little...

not real happy with this one.

by misstina , Apr 23 '01
Pros: expense wise it's great! It's also a nice size to carry around .
Cons: found that it's really picky about how you take a picture.
not happy with it because it was hard to figure out how to be able to take a good photo. After taking 80 pictures and only being able to save 3 I just don't think the percentage is all that great. just for fun is fine but won't rely on it for any...

Great for outdoor use - a perfect camera in daylight!

by gtergy , Mar 16 '01
Pros: Cheap, Easy to use, USB, Great softwarepackage, Small, Trio (Digital camera, camcorder and webcam)
Cons: No Flash, No Zoom, No lense cover, Not that robust
If you plan to buy a digital camera, and don't want to spend a lot of money this camera might be just right for you. As long as you are aware of its limitations it works well and comes with a good softwarepackage.

HSN ....big hype little else

by kas12 , Feb 23 '01
Pros: Compact size, has its own mini stand when needed.
Cons: Crappy Battery life,cant take pics in a poorly lighted room
Yeah I know, I should stop buying stuff featured on the Home shopping network. It always looks so good when they are showing it on tv. Well I think after buying 3 cameras I have finally learned my lesson. At least this camera has lasted more than a...

Great deal for the money

by bryan5549 , Feb 16 '01
Pros: lightweight, easy to use, inexpensive
Cons: no flash, image quality acceptable but not great
Like many others, I also have a very good digital camera (an Olympus 2500). It takes superb pics and I use it a great deal. However, the idea of an inexpensive, very portable camera was too hard for this gadget freak to resist. I paid $80 for it and...

Skip this one

by lpslps , Feb 16 '01
Pros: Small, Low cost, Computer Interface
Cons: IMAGE QUALITY
This camera is not good. I am returning mine since I have no use for it. The low cost and portability are its only good points. These good points are overshadowed by it terrible image quality. It is not worth using since most of the photos will come out...

Pencam Trio - Good for Web Images

by KAR120C Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 29 '01
Pros: Small size, cheap price high capacity
Cons: Low resolution, software is weak.
The small, inexpensive Pencam Trio is not intended to be a high resolution digital camera. It is supposed to be a small, cheap resolution digital camera! That being said, you know what you are getting.

The camera itself is sturdy enough. Its...

Is that a camera in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

by Airmark1 , Jan 26 '01
Pros: Size. Common Battery. Weight. Ease. Idea.
Cons: So So Image Quality. Battery dead=lost pictures.
This little Aiptek Camera is another addition to my arsenal of "toys". It was a Xmas present to me, and to tell you the truth, I did not even know that it was on the market.

The size and ease are the most important qualities to me. I am an...

No not this one either

by Kmondon , Jan 06 '01
Pros: small size
Cons: poor image quality
I received this camera from my mother in law for Christmas. I initially thought that it would be a valuable tool to use in my practice. My thoughts were soon changed.

The unit is a handy size and childishly simple to operate, but the images...

A Great Deal

by QuickGold , Jan 03 '01
Pros: Price, features
Cons: Picture quality
I got the Pen Cam Trio for Hannukah and was suprised by it. The Trio is a web cam, camcorder and digital camera in one. I'll review each aspect.

Web cam: The video quality for web cam use isn't as good as Intel or Kodak's web cams, as it...

Can a digital camera this cheap & cheerful actually work?

by _Cassandra_ , Jan 02 '01
Pros: Good value for money, USB connectivity, great software.
Cons: Low resolution, cheap construction, ONLY works with Windows 98.
You betcha it can! I'd been thinking of buying a cheap digital camera just for fun after having access to several higher end models. It seems the little pocket sized Aiptek Pencam Trio digital camera has been a very popular Christmas present for...

An Interesting "Toy" (?)

by AtlantaGreg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 31 '00
Pros: Very easy to set up and use. Movie feature is "neat".
Cons: Quality is poor, but ok for the price being paid. Low res isn't even worth using.
I was having some kind of holiday-ending panic attack this weekend, and decided to go spend some money (that always helps, doesn't it?). I had heard about the Aiptek Pencam Trio through Aiptek's web site, and since I don't own a camcorder, thought it...
