Editorial Reviews :
The D-Link DSC-350F fits two different types of cameras into one convenient-size camera. Take the DSC-350F with you on trips and use it as a digital camera. Or you can connect it to your computer and chat with friends or family over the Internet as a PC Webcam. And with many advanced features, you will have all the functionality you would expect from each type of camera.
The DSC-350F uses a 350,000-pixel VGA-quality CMOS sensor to capture high-resolution pictures when used in digital camera mode. Settings for indoor and outdoor conditions can be set to get the best possible picture in both high- and low-lighted areas. With its 8 MB built-in memory, the DSC-350 will hold up to 70 images in VGA quality mode, and 180 images at CIF quality.
A plug-and-play USB connection enables you to connect the DSC-350F to your computer and download all your pictures. In addition, software from ArcSoft provides image editing and publishing capabilities so you can edit, combine, add text and borders, and then send images to friends or family via e-mail or the Internet.
Connect the DSC-350F to your computer and you can chat or videoconference with friends, family, or business associates over the Internet. You can also capture a video message like a camcorder and save it as a video file, and then send it to anybody via e-mail.
The DSC-350 provides integrated support for the most common videoconferencing software, including Microsoft NetMeeting. ArcSoft Video Impression software is included so you can edit and master your own video clips that you can then send to friends and family over the Internet.
Buyer Reviews :
I just received it yesterday. Took a few pictures and tested out the settings. My conclusion is that it's a good beginner digital camera for the price. I didn't want a big financial commitment into digital photography but hated the hassle of developing and waiting for pictures. I'll try to point out things not found in the spec sheets.
The 640x480 resolution is good assuming two criterias are met. 1) There is enough light and 2) the camera is steady. To address the 1st one, the flash works ok, however it has a very limited range, about 1 meter - 1.5 meters. Any farther and the light tapers off, any closer and the picture is blurry and too bright. To address the 2nd issue, it helps to be in a bright environment, then the automatic shutter speed will be faster so that any movement by your hand won't blurr the pictures. Or you could practice pressing the shutter button VERY steadily.
The thing that annoys me most about this camera is the settings. You have to scroll through all the modes everytime you want to change a setting, such as whether to auto-flash (off by default), or a different environment setting (default is cloudy outside). You can avoid this if you're taking pictures one after another within 60 seconds. Otherwise it turns off automatically after 60 seconds with NO EXCEPTIONS. I looked in the instruction manual and there's no way to turn this feature off. This added with the tedious mode selection is a huge gripe of mine. Since everytime it turns off, the settings reset to default and you have to scroll through them again to set them up. Also the beeps are annoying, every time you press a button (such as scrolling through the modes, it has a fairly loud beep). If only they allowed the settings to be saved after turning off the camera, the camera would have come to near perfect for the price.
