Packing a mighty 64MB of onboard Flash RAM as standard, the PhotoClip Colour Screen is the ultimate in digital convergence. It takes high quality photos, records digital video (with or without audio) - and if that wasn't enough you can play back pre-recorded MP3 files, record external audio, or use it as a webcam/video conferencing suite!

PhotoClip Digital Camera This latest model now includes an LCD colour screen which helps you frame your shots and even lets you preview your photos straight after taking them!

When it's plugged into your PC the PhotoClip Screen also becomes a removable hard drive - which means you can use the onboard RAM to store whatever you want: images, music, word processing documents, spreadsheets, whatever!

PhotoClip Digital Camera The PhotoClip is expandable too - with a spare Smart Media slot you can boost the memory with up top 512MB of additional Flash RAM.

The Quick Start instructions supplied are pretty comprehensive and we were able to get up and running in just a few minutes.


Integral Compact Flash CompactFlash Memory Upgrade
The standard PhotoClip ships with a chunky 64MB of onboard Flash RAM.

Visitor Reviews...

visitor avatar To the last two folks to question the camera. No, the video comes out very clear and non jittery and yes, you can play it back on the LCD. I have it 8 months, still can't put it down. It rocks.
irishbugger, Planet Neptar - 23rd August 2003
visitor avatar The photo clip looks pretty cool, and it's definitely worth while getting the better memory, but from what I've seen the video doesn't look very smooth. Someone tell me if I'm wrong but both the posted videos look a bit jerky.
Adam, Leicestershire - 1st August 2003
visitor avatar This looks utterly amazing. However, could you please tell me please whether after you have recorded the video and audio, could you play it back without connecting it to your computor, through the colour LCD screen?
Firebox says: ...Yup.
Dave, manchester - 8th January 2003
visitor avatar This is just the coolest ickle lil thing in the world EVER. This and only this is the reason those 'boffin' folk sit around all day designing and making, the finest of fine products ever, surely better than sliced bread? I mean, feck .... it's a lil tiny ickle camera .... this camera could get Stephen Hawkins laid, that's how cool it is.
Irish Bugger, Derry - 9th December 2002
visitor avatar This camera is so cool! Excellent MP3 features aswell. Get some Hi Capacity Re-chargable batteries though, they are worth it. Excellent product
Mark Wyatt, South Wales - 10th November 2002
visitor avatar Looks good, by the way, max d from nottingham, I think you must have broaght one with 16MB internal memory instead of 64MB because the memory is split evenly.
James, - 4th November 2002
visitor avatar Brilliant. Its amazing how something so small can do so much. Light, easy to use, its the perfect snapping companion
Gordon, Harlow - 8th October 2002
visitor avatar The PhotoClip is one of the best cameras available for the price. Its a entertainment machine that surpasses all expectations. Very easy to use and packed with many features, the only thing that maybe worth looking into are some Ni-MH batteries and a charger in the long run you'll save loads of money allowing you to recoup with some extra memory (not essential but worth having.....). An Excellent product
Vincent, Manchester - 8th October 2002
visitor avatar A satisfactory device for its price, this baby gives great pics even at its lowest resolution, but its too expensive-and remember, it may be a 6-in-1 device but you can only use one function at any one time to get the most out of it; the combined use of the MP3 player and the camera resulted in only being able to take 15 low quality snaps, and only 15 mins of MP3. Still, for those who can afford it and don't have much pocket space, it's a neat compromise. 6/10
Max d., Nottingham - 4th October 2002
visitor avatar This looks way cool. I was gonna get a Fuji digital camera for £100, but iam gonna save up the extra £140, maybe to just look good or because its practical, no, just to look good.
