The Cameras Work

I mentioned Creative web cameras I bought at a good deal before Christmas.

It remains to be seen if the rebate actually is rebated. A great self serving gift to each of my sons, I hoped the cameras would be of use while on vacation. Of use, meaning I got to see my grandchildren. See previous blog as to why this isn’t happening.

The cameras worked great. We set them up with Microsoft Live Messenger. The video quality was more than adequate as long as the window was kept small. The audio quality was also good. It worked surprisingly well, in spite of questionable documentation.

Now if I only had broadband to use it.

The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
