AIPTEK PALMCAM TRIO
DIGITAL CAMERA/WEBCAM

"Aiptek Palmcam Trio is a budget camera and webcam in one easy to use camera. The PalmCam is labeled Trio because it can be used both as a digital camera, webcam or even a video recorder."

AIPTEK PALM CAM TRIO DIGITAL CAMERA/WEBCAM

The Palm Cam Trio is a combined digital camera and webcam, it retails for £40 so it's a budget camera. It has a sexy translucent blue casing which looks like it's for an iMac. The camera is small (8cm wide and 6cm in height) and it fits comfortably in your hand.

As far as features go you get what you pay for, there is no flash and no zoom. What you get is a built in shutter button and an LCD screen at the back. When it is used as a webcam you just plug it in using the supplied USB cable, attach the stand (pictured above) and place it on the top of your monitor. When using it as a digital camera it requires two AAA size batteries.

The Palm Cam is supplied with built in flash memory which allows you to capture 80 images at low resolution and 20 at high resolution. The images produced are average for a camera in this price range, it has a maximum resolution of 352x288 so isn't suitable for serious photography.

It has most of the usual features found on a digital camera such as self timer, memory clear and selecting resolution. It also has a continuous mode which records short video sequences.

The Palm Cam is capable of capturing 20 frames per second which is fine for most webcam use.

The software bundle is good for a cheap camera, you get Ulead Photo Express 3.0 for photo editing, Ulead Photo Explorer 360 for image management and video conferencing software.

BAD POINTS

Image quality when used as a digital camera is average at best.
Can only store 20 images at high resolution.
Resolution is too low for serious photography.
