I have sen one in ebay and its pretty amazing. It made me look again and scroll down on the features it has. This is the features it has as stated by the seller:
~~~
The Mini Digicam is so simple, just point and shoot. You can choose lo resolution and allows or Hi which is ideal for internet pages. Once transferred to your PC, you may print on your own color printer or just store your on online albums or galleries or to your own private collection. Post your digital images on your sites or email them to your fiends. Just click away, download and capture unlimited images all over again. Imagine what you can do with this digital camera.
Plus, one really neat feature of this camera is it records full motion video when it's not connected to your PC. No audio though. Shoot your own video anytime, any place, then download it later to your PC. Capture those important moments.
Everything you need is on your digital camera: Keychain, CD Driver, Battery, Photo and Video Software, USB Cable, User Manual and a Pouch.
~~~
The item is very cheap. It only costs 600 Philippine Pesos. I think that is almost 13 USD.
Hey its cheap for a cute digicam right? Its like I am getting addicted to cameras ha ha!
I wish this will not make me shift my course one day he he!Oh I have a picture of the camera. see it and be amazed. X)

Yes I have seen one of those, I even have one of those. It is neat and was very cheap. In fact, I only purchased it just to see if it would really work b/c at that time I had a logitech cam.....anyway I purchased that one and it works ok for the cheap price that I paid for it.

it is good that you have already tried it. by the way that you speak of it, i can see that it is good to take pictures of things which we want to get snapshots of as a memorabilia. it is reasonable then if the takes speaks for the price that we have paid for it. besides, it is always that comfortable to bring along. no hassle.

If it's the camera I think it is, I got it for 25€ and it wasn't worth 5€, the images didn't have that good quality and a lot of the time they didn't come out in the right frame, it was I guess a quick fix for a webcam, but I would have preferred spending some more for a better camera.

well, i actually havent seen one! well, that's just fantastic to learn that there is indeed those technologies at the present. i just realize how fast phase the world is at the present when it comes to these kinds of technologies. i mean, i just cant seem to imagine how 5 years ago bulky and big phones are already new technology. when you have those bulky phones those times, it means that you are rich and that you really can afford. but right now, we have slim colored phones which has built in camera and 3G. there are even phones which has video and that you can zoom. terrific isnt it! well, we just dont know what's coming up nest. we will just have to wait and see for a few months and they will be out. and after a year, these new devices will the again begin obsolete!hehehe but guess, with all these technologies coming up, we shouldnt forget our values and the reasons why these devices were invented in the first place, because though we deny it, we seem to be forgetting that!:)

I to have one of these cameras. I also bought it off of ebay. I collect keychains and I love photography so it was a no brainer for me. LOL. I have noticed that if you don't get the pics onto you computer before the batt. die then you lose your pics. just something to keep in mind.

the pen like camera which you are saying I guess is different from this one. I have seen it too from the same seller. Th camera has only 100,000 Pixels which I think is not that clear. yes you are right. wow! who sells that camera? how much?
I saw this in ebay.ph but haven't bought one since I just bought a camera. =)

I got one of these cameras free with my computer i bought from a Canadian based company MDG. Mine can be used for a web cam as well. The thing i dont like about it is you cant see the pic when you take them like on the bigger ones. But for me it was free and it was better than nothing at all right.

Okay this maybe my answer. I was saving up money to buy a new camera. I have done the research and picked up Camera. It is a Canon Rebal XTI. But this weekend I spent that savings on a new set of pots and pans instead of my brand new Camera that I am so excited about buying. Maybe I should buy this cute little keychain camera to hold me until I save up again. What do you think?

hmm. well, I really don't know the features of the Canon Rebal XTI but if that has a higher pixels like 6 or 7 megapixels, then you should go for it than this one for, this is just plain coolness on the outside but on the inside, it is not. It only has 100k pixels which is not that clear so, go for the canon. =)
Even this camera is so cheap, we really don't know how long it'll live.

I've seen them in different stores and you are right they are pretty cheap. I've been nervous about getting one so I think I'll just stick with my big cameras. I can't lose them so easily. The keychain camera would make a great starter camera for someone is wanting to learn more about digital pictures and cameras.

I think I saw that cam in wal-mart or somewhere.
But I have really taken an interest in cameras and photography recently as well.
Even considering my next cell phone. Built-in cameras were never important to me as an option, but I have to have one on my new one.
If it is really that cheap, I would probably get it (if I didn't mind having huge things on my key chain...that annoys me). I'd check out some review about it first though. It's cheap, but still might be trash.

I must say that is the first time of hearing of such. Though I am thinking will the pictures be worth it. Even if it is to be a cheap digital camera, that doesn't mean the pictures will be of any real quality.
I fell for the cheap sign myself, and the picture qualtiy of the pictures my digital camera takes are really crudey. I have tried everything under the sun, besides throwing the darn thing across the room, to get it to take good quality pictures, but so far no luck, still real fuzzy.
If you plan on buying you may want to look at what the pixel count is for it, usually the higher the pixel count the better quality of picture you will get. This is something I learned the hard way.

yes I have checked that too. I don't wanna buy one for I think my 600 will just go to waste even if its cool. Many users of this camera have said that it does not have clear pictures ha ha ha!

it is surely a great innovations with cameras. i have heard about it before but, i have never seen one yet. maybe, my daughter can buy me one when she gets out of the country. i wonder if this is already available in the philippines. the price will be no problem to deal with. that is relatively cheap, alright. we will now be talking about its availability and durability. it will surely be nice to have one which is literally handy when going out.

I have one of those at home! I got it once for really cheap during a really big sale at the mall around here. I thought it was really cute and I did love the many features it had! I am able to use it as a webcam too, which is cool. I don't actually use it all that much, but it is nice to have a camera around all the time just in case a photo opportunity pops up randomly! lol

Technology nowadays are getting to be more inventive, don't you think. You buy one new camera and after a few months, its out of date already. I heard from somewhere that the smaller the camera, the more sensitive it is. I've seen a lot of new small cameras in Japan. I was so fascinated by how small and handy it is. It looks the size of a credit card.
