Point,Click, Shoot...Score!
Fortune.com says" This futuristic snapshooter ($200) takes its cue from the Palm, using a docking station to transfer images to your computer and charge its batteries. With a fixed-focus lens and 640- by 480-pixel resolution, it's best suited for Web photography; that said, it has a 46 image capacity and lets you add voice annotations to your photos."

Steve's DigiCams (March 27, 2000)
The web site Steve's DigiCams provides a way for individuals to publish their own review of products. Here is a quote written by one person:
"I had been looking for a digital camera to add graphics to some desktop publishing projects, web pages, email and didn't want to spend a lot of money. After using this camera for Mom and trying it out, I went out and bought one for myself."
"The close up images for a webpage came out great, and my family really enjoyed getting photos via email of the foal the hour it was born, wiggles and all, including sound! If you want an inexpensive camera that's easy to use, and you don't mind its limited memory, this is a great camera. I'll be putting some photos on my website this week and will update this review as I use the camera more."
