Editorial Review

Incredibly small, this tiny digital camera will make kids and adults feel like international secret agents when they whip it out to capture photo ops. Just bigger than a box of matches, the little gadget holds up to 26 pictures at optimal quality or 104 at lesser quality. It can also be used as a web cam or video camera, though it is only capable of low-definition clips running about 10 seconds. Engineered to recharge itself while it downloads to a computer, the camera includes built-in 8-GB memory, a self-timer, auto focus, and safety shut-off. It measures 2 by 1-1/2 by 3/4 inches, has a sleek silver finish, and comes with a tiny stand, a carrying chain, a USB cable, and software. --Emily Bedard

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera for Price!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-28

When I purchased this item, I was pleased with it. It is vvveeerrrrry small!!!!!!!!!!, and that is how I wanted it. It has no flash,so that means that it is very hard to take indoor pictures...speaking of pictures they are very small but good, and that's about it...


P.S. if you want to know more buy the camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Camera.......2007-01-21

This thing is great. It takes great pictures for such a small thing and for a great price too. I may buy a few more for my little sister and friends!!

3 out of 5 stars good cheap little camera.......2007-01-05

not the best but what do you expect for this price,pic are small but look pretty good considerating

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommend.......2006-10-24

The design of this camera is very nice. The body is aluminum, not plastic. The maximum resolution is 640 by 480. {The only key chain digital camera with a higher resolution I am aware of is the one by "uTronix" but that one is about 25$ (1280*960 Pixels, you can find that one at eBay)}.

The movie mode you will probably not use because it is only in 320 by 240 resolution but it works fine.

The web camera mode is good, the default resolution there is 320 by 240, but you can change that in the software to 640 by 480. The refresh rate is 5 frames per second for 320 by 240 and 2 frames per second for 640 by 480.

The 640 by 480 mode for taking pictures is quite good, taking into account the camera is a "toy". I have uploaded some of the better pictures taken with this camera for you to evaluate the quality. You can't take pictures at night though unless there is a certain minimum illumination limit. Below this limit the camera will not take pictures.

When you take a picture you need to press the button and hold it untill you hear a beep. Otherwise the camera may move slitely and the picture will come out to be blur.

The only problem is that the rechargeable battery is inside and is described as "non-replaceable". The battery is "lithium polymer" which is probably the most advanced today, has high capacity and little memory effect. The manual says that you can recharge it for about 300 to 500 times. When the battery is low the LCD display blinks. It appears that the battery is incapable to hold charge the way it should though because the display starts blinking after about 5 consecutive pictures taken, maybe it is normal, I don't know. But still the battery capacity is enough to take about 30-50 pictures, store them for some time and transfer them to a computer.

A company from Japan which used to make these cameras went out of business and these cameras are not produced any more. So this is probably the last chance to get hold of this cool "Toy". This is probably the reason for the rechargeable battery inside to not hold charge as good (the cameras must have been manufactured several years ago).

Overall I would say that I am very satisfied with this purchase. The camera is worth every dollar (out of 8) spent. Two of my friends purchased this camera after they saw mine. I purchased one for my nephew as well.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Bargain.......2006-10-02

This mini camera performs well in all functions: webcam, video, and photo. The mode button is simple with only nine functions - really only a few since most are set once. With the supplied software on CD, you get ArcSoft Photostudio 5.0. Photostudio can further enhance the digital image of this tiny camera.

When you install this camera on a Windows PC (only works with 98se, ME, 2000, and XP), you must load the Snap device drivers first, reboot, and then install the USB cable and camera. Windows will automatically complete the install process. Get it out of sequence and the device will not be recognized. On XP it shows as a "ADPK Dual Camera". The manual provides little clarity on this install procedure.

The small viewfinder allows you to correctly frame the shot. An audible beep sounds when the shutter is pressed.

1 out of 5 stars A camera made of cheese would be better.......2006-07-20

I purchased two of these. One didn't work right out of the box and the other took pictures that were shifted a 1/2 frame to the right. Returns were refused. I wouldn't waste my money on these... for $20 or $30 more, you can buy a small 3-5 megapixel camera elsewhere and not throw your money away on this junk. They're cute, but if they don't work, cuteness doesn't go very far.

Editorial Review

Political traitors and schoolgirl crush-ees, watch out! Any girl armed with this 1 ½- by 2-inch digital camera has more than technology in the palm of her hand! In spite of its metallic pink hue, this mini-cam is as discreet as can be, especially dangling at the end of its ball-chain necklace. And no, it's not just a toy! In fact, the "Snap" is packed with so many features, it's a wonder it doesn't weigh 20 pounds (try 37 grams instead!). Ready? This wee camera points and shoots, functions as a web camera, and produces pictures that can be viewed, saved, or sent on a computer, as well as creating video clips with playback options and the capacity to be sent over the internet. There's also a self-timer mode, three continuous pictures mode, and the ability to clear the last picture and clear memory. A web cam stand and base is provided, as well as necklace, USB cable, Snap software CD-ROM with NHJ Photo Manager, and registration card. And, well, it's just awfully cute, to boot! The non-replaceable battery is rechargeable using the USB cable provided. --Emilie Coulter

5 out of 5 stars It's great... Though, not that durable..........2006-06-26

I had this camera in the fourth grade... Needless to say, at the age of ten I was irresponsible & lost it (it's tiny). Anyways, I had it in blue, I had a HUGE camera obsession. I <33333 (that means loved for the old people) taking this to school. Everyone ALWAYS wanted their pics taken. The software has great stuff & posting it on the net is easy with tinypic & photobucket. It's a great buy... I got mine for $20.

5 out of 5 stars I wish.......2005-11-01

I really wish I can get this toy it looks so cool and fun, and I can bring this to school without the teachers noticing, I can take pictures of my classmates unsuspectedly, my family and I take so many roadtrips, its just perfect for a roadtrip,oh how I wish to get this toy!

ordered this hard drive in march, sent it back in april for replacement, got another, computer would not recognize it, sent that back also on april 6. still waiting for refund!!!!!amazon has recieved my returned items, but still has not issued my requested refund.

4 out of 5 stars Cavalry 160 GB HD.......2007-04-26

I got this HD in yesterday to back up my MP3 player so I did not have to load up my internal HD on my computer.
Product works just as described so far, plug in the USB cable turn it on an the computer recognizes it right away.
The HD itself makes no noise, very quite. It is also a nice size and does not take up any room at all.
The unit does get a tad on the warm side when on for extended times but it is not all that bad.
My only gripe at the moment is I don't understand how the stupid side stand is supposed to be mounted to the HD itself.


If I run into problems in the future I will update my review but so far so good.

4 out of 5 stars A fair value.......2007-02-10

At the time of purchase, this was one of the best values I could find. The LED (which indicates whether it's idle or working green/red), however went dead after a year. Still, I give it four stars because the only thing I can compare it to is a Western Digital external hard drive I have that is unreliable (that's why I bought the AcomData).

1 out of 5 stars DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT.......2007-02-03

i bought this a few months ago,
pretty expensive but i thought it would be nice cuz of all its features. it stopped working, it tooke me 35 minutes to get someone on the phone and they said tech support was unavailable. I decided to remove the sleeve to see if there was a way of reseting the button. i did not intend to open it but as soon as i pulled on the sleeve, the drive open and after 10 minutes of removing the whole sleeve i found a sticker saying the warranty was void if it was opened. i didnt open it, it fell open. and i called again and said it was my fault because the sleeve was not meant to be removed and the sticker used to be on the outside --- on their old model. so yeah, dont buy from this company, this is a cheap product that will get you bad results. an easy waste of money and time.

5 out of 5 stars Great hard drive.......2006-11-27

Real specs of it

160GB hard drive: when formated comes out to 153GB as hard drives are rated in 1000MB= 1GB but all computers go by 1024MB= 1GB so overall space on the hard drive is reduced to 153GB
______________________________________

The hard drive is very quiet and you can barely hear it (you only notice it when it's loading)

The case of the drive acts as a heatsink so DON'T stack it. the hard drive already gets hot enough (having it seated vertically causes more heat than horizontally)

Problems: The light on the front of it (1 plastic dome with 2 high output LED lights)
The light is extremely bright (I covered the light on mine with some electrical tape with 2 pinholes poked through it)

The drive has a raw uncached read speed of 31 MB/s and a write speed of 26 MB/s

inside of the external enclosure is a Hitachi brand hard drive.

the external enclosure isint 100% sealed, it has 1 small vent in the back and 1 vent in the front which is hidden behind the front panel the front panel leaves about a 3mm space away from the front vent.

overall, everything is solid and quality.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2006-09-24

I just received the hard drive. It is completely silent, sleek looking, and mounts consistently on my iMac G5. The only thing I don't like is the blue light on it is REALLY bright and goes bazerk when it is being accessed. Maybe that's more of a personality issue than a tech issue. But it is definitely a good fit for my Mac.

4 out of 5 stars Simple to use........2006-08-30

I bought this hard drive to store music, movies, etc. I've had it almost two weeks, and here are my impressions so far:

Pros: Easy to hook up, plug and play for XP, the stand that comes with it is very sturdy, the hard drive itself feels solid, simple design.

Cons: Blue LED on the front is to bright, usable space on the drive only reads as 150 GB, the power brick that comes with the drive is fairly large.

Overall, this is a good hard drive for the money. Besides a few design quirks it has, I'd recomend this drive to anyone looking for a inexpensive external HD.

I use one on a 3001 Bogan Tripod - a good match.

Product Description

High performance comes second nature to the Canon GL1. Whether your application is event videography, film making, shooting for the Web, or simply capturing family memories, the GL1 adapts to your lifestyle, producing studio-quality results every time. The power is in your hands. Full manual control allows you to call the shots, for unsurpassed flexibility. Form and function are successfully blended to create a camcorder that is simple to operate, yet capable of dazzling any audience.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Canon GL1 (and its big brother, the XL1) are helping to blur the line between consumer and professional video equipment. This camcorder borrows most of the professional-quality components from the XL1 and puts them into a more compact, affordable camera. Though it's small enough to carry around and doesn't cost much more than a top-of-the-line consumer camcorder, the GL1 produces such high-quality results that it could be used as a broadcast video camera.

Great movies start with great CCD sensors, and Canon cuts no corners here. For the best possible picture quality, they use three separate 270,000-pixel CCDs (one for each primary color). To further improve image detail, Canon has intentionally shifted the green CCD half a pixel horizontally and vertically. This shift allows more accurate interpolation, resulting in an image that Canon claims rivals those from cameras with 410,000-pixel CCDs. Each pixel is 72 square microns, which is about 1.5 times the size as those in competing camcorders. This increased size increases light sensitivity, allowing you to shoot in lower-light situations. Ultimately, the larger pixel size results in an improvement of 4 dB loss budget in sensitivity.

For great optical quality, the GL1 uses a fixed (nonremovable) 20x optical (100x digital) zoom L-series fluorite lens. The fluorite element in the lens increases sharpness and contrast, as well as helping to preserve color fidelity.

Audio is recorded through the built-in microphone, which features two pairs of pickup elements. Audio can be recorded in 16-bit mode on two channels on one track. Alternatively, audio can be record in 12-bit mode, where the audio track is divided into two, and two channels of audio are recorded onto one track, with the other left over for audio dubbing.

The electronics of the GL1 have many advanced features, including a number of programmed AE modes, as well as both shutter and aperture priority modes. There are two different auto modes, one of which allows you to adjust any setting manually, if you want, and the other, which adjusts every setting automatically and lets you adjust nothing. A spotlight mode automatically compensates for lighting difficulties when shooting a subject bathed in a spotlight. Finally, a sand-and-snow mode is designed to prevent dark, underexposed subjects in situations with bright backgrounds--commonly found in sandy and snowy areas. There are also three different shooting modes: normal movie mode, digital photo mode, and frame movie mode. Normal movie mode is for any time you want to shoot video footage. Digital photo mode records a still image for six seconds on the miniDV tape, and also captures any audio, such as a commentary. The frame movie mode records 30 still images per second, but it isn't intended to be used for shooting video. Rather, frame movie mode should be used as burst or continuous shooting mode, as you'd find on a still camera.

The GL1 uses an IEEE 1394 port for digital editing and for transferring footage to and from other IEEE 1394-compliant devices. The camcorder also has RCA (composite) audio and video ports, and an S-Video out. The analog inputs allow you to transfer old footage to DV for archiving. Built-in effects include a fader for transitions, black and white, slim, stretch, and strobe. Picture adjustment is also possible; you can adjust camera sharpness, softening or sharpening your subject, as well as the color tone and how dark or light the camera sets the auto-exposure level.

5 out of 5 stars A pleased user.......2003-06-10

I purchased my GL-1 almost two years ago with the original intention of using it to create videos of weddings and grandchildren. After comparing numerous available models and brands, I chose the GL-1 for its good reputation, high-end features, lenses, and of course for the more reasonable price.

It could be said that the GL-1 is among the worst of the best, but that is not a fair way of comparing its features to other camcorders. The GL-1 is top end material, producing similar or equal quality as equipment costing twice as much or more. The lower price mostly reflects the fact that the GL-1 does not have as many features as the more expensive models. It already has more buttons and settings than most of us even want to know exist anyway, so except for professionals and hard-core video fans, we amatures are plenty happy to leave the settings on 'automatic' and simply push the record button.

What really matters is the end result, and viewing a video on your television recorded with the GL-1 looks no different than a video recorded with more expensive models (well, unless you are one of those hard-core types who are very critical, but then too, every camcorder model produces slightly different results, so any differences noticed would be noticed in all). The major end-result difference will be noticed in audio quality. Recording video in a normal room setting is no problem, it comes out great, but in areas with high noise, winds, or too low of sound, the recording is sometimes less than desired. Too loud of noise causes distortion (avoid sitting directly in front of or even behind a rock group's speaker array, even if 75 feet away!), and when the desired sound to be recorded is too quiet, you may hear a slight humming of the camcorder's motor. Many users have solved the problem by purchasing additional audio recording equipment, which is of course an acceptable solution, but one that new owners should be aware of.

Every camera of course has it's good points and bad points, and except for the bad points of not-perfect audio, everything else about the GL-1 is good. Good balance, medium weight, easy loading, good battery life (1 hour with the factory battery, other batteries can be bought that will record for over 3 hours), and the appearance does say you are using high-end equipment.

All things considered, the GL-1 is right about in the middle, giving better results than all known lower-end models, but not quite as good of results as the more expensive models. The Gl-1 is Goldilock's "just right" choice (sorry, I just had to say that).

The Sony camcorder is said to be a little better, close to that of the Canon XL-1, and I did consider it, but at the time I had just overcome a less than favorable experience with a Sony product and I did not want to make another mistake. If you have the money to spare, get the XL-1 just because it's cooler looking, but for fast, easy, quality video, the GL-1 is a great choice.

5 out of 5 stars Worth the Price.......2002-11-27

I bought this camera about 10 months back, and at the time made a compromise in choosing it because I couldn't afford the XL1S. What I've learned though after using it for so long now is that Canon didn't compromise on this camera. The GL1 has essentially every feature the aspiring film maker or video professional needs to get underway quickly and easily.

My favorite feature of this camera is the frame mode ability that allows you to shoot non-interlaced video, with results that are very similar in appearance to film rather than video. After shooting in frame mode and seeing the results, I've yet to shoot interlaced video again.

The one thing that this camera lacks is any ability to manually control the audio levels for the internal or external mics, which can sometimes give you less than optimal results in situations where the noise volume fluctuates noticably, or where you are trying to achieve a specific audio effect.

Summary - Excellent camera worth the price tag. Across the board, far more features and better quality than all competitors in its class. Probabaly the only camera that can top the GL1 in this class is the GL2.

5 out of 5 stars Professional Quality Video...period........2002-08-04

I wasn't so sure about this camera because I had listened to the hype about Sony DV cameras. But let me tell you, I have never seen a mini DV camera pack such a punch for the price. Between the GL-1 and the much more expensive Xl-1, I cannot tell that much difference at all, maybe none at all. This camera captures truly stunning video. From reproducing each and every color vibrantly and crisp to the razor sharp picture quality. And I haven't even gotten to the microphone. It captures the audio very true to life. From soft whispers to loud bangs, the audio never becomes muddled or distorted. The menu buttons and function keys are all very well placed, and it takes a still photograph of a fairly decent quality, although it couldn't compete with a 2 megapixel photo camera. It has many different video modes,including toggling between Video and Frame recording, although most of the time you'll never need to take it off of automatic. Another sleek feature is how it captures video in low light. In low lighting conditions, the picture NEVER becomes the least bit grainy. I am continually impressed, and am impressing others with this camera. It is perfect for the beginner or the pro.

4 out of 5 stars Good zoom, color, shutter, controls= medicore image?.......2002-06-19

I just purchased a canon GL1 for use with filming sports (I am a golfer). My overall experience has been good but things are left to be desired. This review gives you the good the bad and the silly, so read on!

The Good

The controls on this thing are great, it's almost like having an SLR in a camcorder. The lens on this thing is great! Images come through very bright allowing for high shutter speeds. The zoom is 20X optical and something like 100x digital, and the digital zoom is usable, trust me on this one. You can switch between interlace and progressive scan with the use of one button interlace=60 1/2 frames per second, progressive= 30 full frames per second. The image stabilization is great, and it is very easy to shoot with. Shutter speed is good up to 1/15000 of a second. Oh and did I mention lots of manual controls if you want them.

The Bad

The CCD's on this thing have no resolution. I would almsot have to lie to tell you I get 500 lines of horizontal resolution. When displayed on a big screen pixilization is obvious. Still images stink too. You can't even get VGA out of this thing. Also the auto focus is amazingly slow. Terrible for action sequences but not a problem for a normal situation or say filming a golfer tennis player.

The Silly/trivial

You need to push a seperate button to eject a tape. Canon could have made this thing smaller to. The camera has an uncomfortable inbetween size. It is by no means small, not even medium sized, but not really one of those huge shoulder mounted things. The LCD screen on this thing could have been bigger too. In all honesty I think cannon wasted a ton of space on this thing. I know some will say the lens head is big, and that is fine, but the tape deck is way too big and the LCD is almost an inch thick, not excusable.

Overall I am satisfied with it. A very nice piece of machinery. The best camcorder for recording golf hands down.

4 out of 5 stars An excellent choice.......2002-05-12

I produce news programs and documentaries, and I use my GL1 to suppliment video from the professional grade cameras used by my videographers. Only a professional can tell the difference in video quality. The unit is easy to use and has performed flawlessly in the field...and I can be pretty hard on equipment. The only thing that keeps it from getting five stars is the small flip out screen...there are larger views on the market, but on DigiCams that I believe are more awkward to operate.

    Product Description

    A long-time innovator in the consumer electronics market, Casio was the first to incorporate an LCD monitor in digital camera for viewing and composing images on-screen. Other Casio innovations have included the swiveling lens design, one of the first 3-megapixel cameras on the market, and extended photographic capabilities. Now Casio offers QV-2300Plus - a midrange 2.11-megapixel camera with a wide range of features designed to endear it to both novices and advanced amateurs alike. QV-2300Plus comes with 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom for a combined zoom factor of 12x. Combining the signature Casio swivel-lens design with extensive exposure controls and a wide range of "scene presets" for the average user, QV-2300Plus offers a strong feature set in an approachable package. The camera has built-in quartz digital clock, date and time recorded with image, and auto calendar up to 2049.Continuing Casio's practice of bundling the IBM "Microdrive" with their cameras, QV-2300Plus offers extraordinary image capacity at a surprisingly modest price. Take advantage of the latest disk drive technology by adding the IBM Microdrive to your Casio digital camera. 340MB Microdrive that weighs less than an AA battery, can hold up to 400 images in high resolution and 2054 in economy. The Microdrive's very small size and high performance make it ideally suited for applications needing portability and having high data/image requirements.

    Amazon.com Product Description

    Casio's QV2300 point-and-shoot digicam features a 2.11 megapixel sensor that captures enough detail for photo-quality prints at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. Shots are stored on an IBM Microdrive, which is a matchbook-size 340 MB hard drive that holds over 400 images at maximum resolution. Sold separately, the Microdrive retails for several hundred dollars, so its inclusion in this package makes the Casio especially attractive.

    Though the Microdrive is particularly noteworthy, the camera has a number of additional features worth mentioning. The lens has a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom, allowing the photographer to bring faraway objects closer. Other features include a three-step aperture control, a four-mode automatic or manual white balance, as well as center-weighted and spot-exposure controls. To save on size, complexity, and price, Casio has not omitted the traditional optical viewfinder--all photos must be composed by viewing the 1.8-inch low-glare LCD monitor, which can also be used to review your photos.

    5 out of 5 stars Love this Camera.......2001-07-30

    Easy to use. Light weight. I'm very happy with this camera.

    5 out of 5 stars endless picture-taking.......2001-06-26

    This is an excellent digital camera: small, lightweight, easy to use, and packed with numerous preformatted settings for specific situations. For me however, its great virtue is the 340 MB memory card. I recently returned from an extended trip in Europe and this camera enabled me to log over 300 fine quality pictures without having to fiddle with and keep track of replacement cards. Better yet, upon returning home, I plugged the camera into the TV and was able to inflict an extended slide show on my loved ones.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Camera.......2001-06-19

    Great camera, I'm not a pro, but so far it does everything I want it to. I was worried about the altitude limit on the microdrive (10,000). I live at 11,200 feet and have not had any problems.

    4 out of 5 stars Be prepared for global parts sourcing.......2001-05-16

    All vendor descriptions as well as the Casio web site said it comes with a remote control, but when I got the box, lo and behold there was no remote. Casio politely informed me that the web site was a mistake. They were however not able to tell me whether it comes with a remote that I could buy separately. I finally discovered, after studying the serial communications protocol of the 2300 and 2800UX, that the remote that comes with the 2800 (WR-1C) works with the 2300. But then, more surprises - the WR-1C is not available in the US - I had to get it from Japan.

    You are supposed to be able to use standard 43 mm lenses and filters by attaching the LU-8A adapter to the camera. But wait! This part too is not available in the US - I had to get it from Japan.

    Anyhow, the pictures I get from the camera are great! I just wish the movie mode had been of a higher resolution and/or a higher fps. That would have left little to be desired in this fantastic package.

    4 out of 5 stars Awesome Jewel.......2001-05-14

    The gargantuam capacity of the IBM Microdrive makes this sufficient reason to get this camera. Fortunately, the camera is also surprisingly very portable and takes excellent quality pictures. All the thoughtful unexpected features of the camera are very much appreciated ie: photo management via the use of folders per day. The anticipated battery problem was alleviated with the purchase of the Casio battery charger/AC adapter and some rechargeable batteries. I'm totally happy with this purchase.
