Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The SiPix StyleCam multi function digital camera is stylish, light and small enough to take anywhere. Capable of storing up to 180 still images, the StyleCam can also be used as a WebCam or a video capture device. The point-and-click operation and the bundled software make it a fun digital camera suitable for all ages.
Image quality is surprisingly good when in VGA mode, although this is greatly reduced when images are taken in the lower CIF resolution. The 8 MB internal memory can store around 180 CIF images and about 65 images in VGA (640x480) mode. The StyleCam comes complete with everything you need to get started including batteries, USB cable, carry case, software and a swivel/tilt stand. If you haven't got a steady hand, you can attach the camera to a standard tripod.
The options are selected using one button on the reverse of the camera. A small LCD screen displays the current camera mode and the number of pictures taken. The camera features a 10-second self-timer and a close range macro function is also available, enabling images to be taken at a close-up range of 25-30 cm. The StyleCam is powered by two AAA batteries that last a while. The downside to the camera is that it uses volatile memory--the batteries constantly supply a small amount of power to the memory in order to store the images. So if the batteries die when images are still on the camera, you will lose them. This isn't so much of a problem if you download any images taken on a regular basis.
The StyleCam comes with a range of six software titles including ArcSoft's PhotoImpression and PhotoFantasy 2000. The software is fun and very easy to use. Simply transfer the images from your camera onto your computer and then edit them to your hearts content. For those of you wanting to have a bit of fun with family members, PhotoFantasy 2000 gives you the chance to place someone's head on another body. Again, this is very easy to do and is a lot of fun. Other software included is VideoImpression, a basic video editing package and PhotoMontage 2000, a photo montage creation package.
The StyleCam is so cheap it's hard not to be impressed with the images. It's small, light and it fits comfortably in your pocket and the 8 MB of memory is more than enough space to store all those embarrassing images. The bundled software is excellent and it really is hard to believe you get so much product for so little money. This is another great camera from SiPix. --Martin Snelling

This superb microscopic camera has all the features of a larger camera eg. self-timer, but is so small you can carry it around in your pocket and not even know its there. Its a perfect camera to get you started in digital photography and the price is excellent value for money.
I have used this camera many of times and each time the pictures have come out excellent quality. Alot of the best pictures i have taken were just by chance. If i hadn't of had it i would of missed out on many special occasions.
All and all this camera is excellent value for money and is the best thing i have brought all year.

I was looking to buy a webcam to make my online chat sessions more interactive and had looked at a few models out there all around the £35-40 mark, but none appeared to offer much in the way of features. There are a few "childrens" digital cameras/webcams that are around the same price but they look and fell cheap and nasty, they also have very limited specifications. So when I came to Amazon.co.uk I was excited to see the sipix stylecam for under £30. It looked like an expensive mini digital camera along the lines of the tiny Canon ixus. It also has the capacity to hold 80 640x320 pictures or 180 reduced size pics, it will record small movies for you (although these are not great), and it acts as a very compitent web cam with a picture better than most other cams I have seen out there.
But for £30 don't expect to be the next David Bailey, The camera has no flash which means no shots in very low light or at night. It also has a fairly slow equivalent of what would be shutter speed which makes high speed shots i.e racing, fast action shots very difficult to get right. But don't get dispondent the camera is excellent when used in good light and with a steady hand giving clear shots which can be altered very easily in the software supplied. For £30 which is the price of a naff 35mm/aps camera in the shops can you really afford to not buy it. I couldn't so I did.

At the price, this can only be rated 5 stars. OK, so it it has limitations and is not suitable for serious photography, but this
is awesome technology for £30!
I only bought it for my 12 year old, as a holiday/fun camera but he is already making animated movies with plasticine models!!
The supplied software is frankly worth the asking price on its own.
Proof of the pudding - I am ordering another one for me and for 3 work colleagues, and we all own 'serious' digital cameras. (but they do not weigh next to nothing, fit in a shirt pocket, or are worth the risk of keeping permanently in the car glovebox). This
little gem does all three.
