Creative Video Blaster PC-CAM 300 0.35 Megapixel / 0.8 Megapixel (interpolated)

This little camera was produced for double duty as both a digital camera and a WebCam. It works flawlessly as a webcam, however as a camera it leaves a lot to be desired. Although it does take pictures and short videos with sound, its picture quality can not compete with other discount digital cameras on the market. The battery door compartment has weak hinges and has a habit of breaking. The camera does not have a zoom feature nor does it have a picture preview. Set at the standard setting, the camera will hold 190 pictures, but you will need a computer with the software installed to view or download the pictures from the camera. As a webcam I'd rate it a 4/5, but as a digital camera I'd have to rate it a 2/5. Overall, it would be great first camera/webcam for someone starting out or a pre-teen.
