This thing could be a fun. It has a lot of features for a toy and the retro mini-Vivitar design is cute. It takes photos and videos, and streams as a webcam. if you add a micro-SD card, it acts as a USB storage device (only up to 32 GB). The thing that makes this device worthless as a camera is that it actually takes extremely low-res images then blows them up to the desired size, giving you big files that look terrible. While it indeed saves images up to 14M pixels, the actual imaging chip only captures in a pitiful VGA resolution (640 x 480), which is less than 1/3 MP. In order to make the picture look decent, you need to downsize it to the original 640x 480 res of the capture chip, even though the lowest setting on the camera is 1280 x 960 (1MP). As many cool software functions that the little device has, I don't know why they didn't bother to put a better capture chip in the thing. If I had paid more than $5 for the thing, I would be upset.
