With a 640 x 480 optical resolution combined with 8 MB of built in SDRAM, the camera can take up to 26 pictures in VGA mode, or 107 pictures in CIF mode before it's memory is full.

Another excellent feature is that this camera can also make mini-movies. It can take a 32 second clip in QCIF mode, and a 8 second clip in CIF mode. Definitely nifty!

The last, but certainly not least, feature this camera brings is incorporated into it's USB 1.1 interface with any Windows OS-based computer. The USB cradle that comes with the camera has an adjustable axis for positioning the camera to act as a web cam or real-time video capture device.

A small cover slides open on the bottom of the camera allowing access to the USB interface port which fits into the camera's cradle. This cover helps to keep debris out of the USB port area when it's not sitting in the cradle.

You can see from the first picture how the cradle will swivel on an axis to allow positioning of the camera for streaming video use.

Drivers are also supplied on an included CD-ROM disc which will install the camera as a TWAIN device in your computer. This allows the camera to interface with just about any video or picture editing software that you may like to use, as long as the program will allow you to import from a TWAIN source. Most better programs will, as a lot of image scanners are considered TWAIN devices also. Another big plus to this method is that you do not have to install and use special software just to download your images from the camera to the PC. Very nice.

As you have seen, this camera certainly packs a lot of features into a small package. The user interface with the camera itself is so simple, a 5 year old child can operate it, as there are only 2 buttons. The built in strobe flash could also come in handy if it ever happened to be used indoors, or at night.

How much would YOU expect to pay for a product along these lines? I have seen some on the market with half of the features this camera has that cost over $100 USD. The I-Sea Photo camera's price is right around $60 USD with everything included!

Not a bad price at all for what you get, and worse come worse if you accidentally damage or destroy it? Not much lost along the lines of cost. That's what makes it an excellent choice for the outdoorsman. It is also perfect as a kids beginning camera, as well as for the seasoned photographer who wants a very tough but disposable camera for harsh situations. You also can't forget that the streaming video feature is like having a web cam and a digital camera all-in-one!
