3. Quality Photos: Not

The camera function is accessed via the main menu, just as the other functions, so don't expect to be able to take a quick snapshot - it takes nearly 10 seconds to enable the camera. It would have been a good idea if the lens on the left of the device automatically triggered the camera function when it is pulled out.

As far as quality is concerned, this device takes us back 10 years to the early days of digital cameras. The top resolution it can reach is 640x480 pixels. The device has a CMOS sensor, not a CCD, so picture quality is in no way guaranteed. As soon as you move in for a close-up, the image starts to deform and give an unpleasantly magnified effect.

The settings options are quite basic. You have the choice of three different resolutions, brightness settings and a few special effects like black and white or sepia, and that's about it. Photos taken this way could be used to liven up a website, but don't think you'll be able to print anything larger than a postage stamp. And the zoom function is restricted to a 3x digital extrapolation.
