The Intel video camera I got takes awesome quality pics when hooked up to a pc, and ok pics when taken anywhere else. You can take it whereever you want. Its not just that though, with it, you can take small videos anywhere (not connected to your computer) good quality pics if there big enough. And connected to your computer it has some great features.
it has some video e-mail so you can send a video (w/ sound) to your friends and family. (although the file size is pretty large)
but video picture quality is great.. much better then i've seen with a normal camera.
Snapshot, Camera games, which are fun. It is a virtual game you use with your camera, and you can play basketball and stuff and you can see yourself on the screen and you can go against another person and you use your hands to get the ball in the net.. they also have 3 other games. And you can download some on the internet like volleyball and stuff.
You can use it as a good webcam and talk to your friends over the internet which looks good.
It also comes with photo editing software and a lot of other stuff. Anyway it costs about $100 and is a great deal in my opinion for that.
I bought mine at Sams Club.. And they had them in ads for $100.. But here is just a view of them.
