It doesn't seem that long ago that a camera this thin, and looking this neat, would have cost the fat end of £100, don't you just love technology? Not much thicker than a cheese biscuit (at a staggering 0.5cm), this fun little credit-card sized digital camera has a 0.3Megapixel resolution and 64MB of on-board memory.
It's no high-res shooter, but for its size and weight it's a wonderful take-anywhere snappy. Taking photos in high resolution 640 x 320 pixels, it'll hold up to 26 images. It has a built in lithium battery that recharges from your computer, auto exposure and white balance, will work as a webcam, and has an energy-saving auto shut-off after 30 seconds (so you don't drain the battery by forgetting to turn it off).
The Credit Card Camera comes with 'PhotoImpression' and 'Funhouse' software so you can muck about with your pictures when you load them onto your computer, and the kit includes a USB cable. It's a low tech little wizard, and sorry to keep banging on about it, but boy is it thin or what!

Customer Reviews for Credit Card Camera
I think that this camera is a wonderful creation... I couldn't get over how thin it was either! It's cheap and very good for such a small camera. I take it everywhere with me, it's so handy to capture those moments where u always wish you had a camera. Now I don't need to say "that's a camera moment, where's the camera?" Altogether it's brilliant.

This little thing is amazing. I bought it from a newspaper and it was £10 more expensive. It's a great webcam though it works better if used as a home digital camera. A great deal and a great buy - a must-have. (Still can't get over how thin it is!)

My gorgeous boyfriend is a little camera shy, and would never let me get a snapshot of him! Thanks to this lil camera I can take a pic without him noticing, and both him and I are thrilled with the gorgeous pictures!!
Abs, Bristol
A great little camera, but was disappointed to find that the viewfinder and lens give soft focus at the edges although extremely sharp in the centre of the image.
The camera takes better pictures than a mobile though, and is OK for quick observed pics.
