Hello. I was searching for a good quality web-cam at first. I bought . Next I was looking for a digital web-cam. I walked to mall through the Bay and stumbled accross the entertainment section. At the counter I was viewing the digital web-cams . I saw the brand name, JVC, I new right away that the company makes good quality electronics. The price, very affordable. I was happy. I taken it home and tried it out, I must have went through at least three types of digital web-cams. The last three were lousy, the pen-cams. Vivitar webcam is lousy for picture quality. The model is GC-A33, it’s compact, it comes with a tripod, a six inch tripod that is. It also comes with a cd=rom for installation of photosuite 2 and 3. Finally, a carrying pouch with a strap. You can slide your belt through the slits of the pouch and carry it on your waist.
The quality of picture is super clear for something so palm sized. You can thunbnail it or enlarge it to an 8x10. That is good. And to think I was going to pay over two-hundred dollars, no way. Oh by the way, you can create projects with amini mode of a movie clip and send e-mails. You will be surprised at what you purchase. It will be a great Christmas present , I’m telling you from the Bay stores. I would reccomend this product to everyone including my trained monkey. LOL
