Philips KEY019 Key Ring Camcorder

by Daniel S. Evans

Company:
Philips Electronics N.V., www.usa.philips.com
Price:
$249 direct
Spec Data:
128MB built-in memory; 2-megapixel camera; JPG image support; MP3 and MPEG4 support; USB 2.0

Cons:
No zoom, limited memory, no MP3 playlist support

lack of field depth, a problem as I often use it in a small room. Good quality in poor lighting environment. Unable to change the initial date. Search on the website and repeated emails and calls to the technician on service led to vague never fulfilled promises. Of course the manual makes no mention of how to adjust the date. Good memory capacity. Transfer through USB is convenient but not all my USBs connect through the too short prong.
