Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Not bad, but could be better........2005-09-16

Pros- This is a compact, easy to use, stylish little camera. It's nice that you can use it for pictures, video and listening to mp3s.

Cons- There is no flash so it had better be a nice bright day when you want the pictures, also the quality is what you might expect from something so small. Pictures are a little fuzzy. Not having the option to zoom is frustrating because everything is always ant-sized.

Overall opinion- This is a decent camera for the size and price. Don't expect anything more than a quick snapshot at medium resolution. This is not intended for high quality pictures or video. This is just nice for a small camera that you can always carry around with you to catch "spur of the moment" snapshots.

I can't wait until they can come out with one this small, a little extra storage, maybe a zoom and flash.

4 out of 5 stars annielove.......2005-09-11

It's handy and small. Very easy to use. It make's video pretty good in a flash. The only thing is it would have been good if phillips added a light to allow the video picture to be clearer. I would buy it again, at the amazon price of half the major electronic stores. Good purchase. Also takes pic & is an MP3 Player.

4 out of 5 stars Fun Toy!.......2005-09-04

I got this camcorder on a whim. I stick it in my purse and pull it out at random times, you'd be surprised how often something seems great to capture! The best thing is that it captures video that you can download right away onto any computer (via USB)... for the price? Hard to beat. The quality of the visuals is best in natural light. The audio quality isn't great, but for fun silliness its great.

5 out of 5 stars Philips Keyring key019.......2005-08-12

I am really satisfied with this amazing portable device, I have come to know about this product long back ago, about one and half year ago, this product have won so many awards in its categories.

I was eagerly waiting for this product but was not able to purchase as it was not available where I was living.

I really was impressed by picture quality, well not truly amazed but satisfactory. Some time pictures washout from the corner I don't know why? The movies capturing also good but some time washout!

But overall I am happy, I would be happy if 256MB or 512 MB storage would be there, 128MB is nothing, and maybe Philips will update it soon or come out with new model. In my opinion Philips should have expand memory at least 512MB, and i guess that would be sufficient, and flash would be good inclusion and if they can add optical zoom not digital but optical would be great.

Good product, full marks to the Philips for amazing product, I love it, it is very small and handy!,

5 out of 5 stars Loved it!~.......2005-08-10
