JamieP.'s review of Cool i-cam

“The Cool i-cam is a brilliant little gadget that...”

★★★★☆

written by JamieP. on 16/03/2002

Good Points
Ease of use, ability to use as webcam or stand-alone digital camera

Bad Points
Possible incompatibility with Windows Millenium Edition (with software supplied), snapshots never correspond to what you see through the viewfinder, especially with close-up shots.

General Comments
The Cool i-cam is a brilliant little gadget that bridges the gap between webcams and top of the range digital cameras. I had this working brilliantly with Win98, however I cannot get it working with WinME - a possible driver problem here even with updated drivers from the manufacturers site. If anyone has had this product fully functional under WinME, or could recommend an updated driver, I would love to get some more information!

I have just bought a cool i cam from ebay. The drivers loaded without fault on my pc's in work running both windows 98 and xp, when I got home and installed the software on windows me, nothing but fails.
<br>Install the software then go to control panel, install new hardware and select movi, install the software from the windows update site. I cannot guarrantee this, but it worked for me

I totally agree. It was purchased for me as a birthday present, but will not work with ME. I haven't downloaded the update from the wesite, but judging by this review, may not make a difference. The software interface comes up broken in pieces. Looks like it was programmed by a kindergardener! If you can't get your pictures from your camera to the PC and no support from the manufacturer . . . .then the camera is only good for hanging off your keychain so you can find your keys. Oh, and I tried it under Windows 2000. It will transfer pictures to the PC, but none of the picture enhancement features work.
