Like the original Eyemodule, the Eyemodule2 barely sticks out from the Visor module slot--just enough for the lens and capture button to protrude (with the lens cap on and the Visor in its leather case, the combination resembles a liquor flask). The Eyemodule2 is incredibly simple to use--the view that it sees is displayed on the Visor screen and the capture button freezes an image. You'll see the image onscreen, and if you don't like it, you can easily erase it and try another.
As with other digital cameras, a steady hand proves necessary to capture sharp images, and this was made more difficult by having to hold the Visor/Eyemodule2 in our palm instead of being able to brace it with both hands like a normal camera. It seemed that even our steadiest efforts came back a bit grainy when viewed at full size. But the quality is high enough for putting pictures up on the Web at reduced size or printing them out at 3 by 5 inches.
Storing images is improved as well--640 x 480 color images take up less space than the 320 x 240 color images of the Eyemodule. We were able to house more than 60 shots on our Visor Deluxe with 6.5 MB of free memory. By dropping the images down to the 160 x 120 palm size (which are black and white on all Visors except the color Prism), the storage numbers increase by more than tenfold.
The Eyemodule2 also tosses video capture into the mix. At 8 frames per second and 160 x 120 resolution, it's not Lucas-level digital video, but it's enough to recognize folks and follow motion. The Prism captures video in color, but other Visors only do black and white. With 6 MB of free space, a little less than a minute and a half of black and white or 19 seconds of color video can be stored, so you won't be documenting the family reunion. The video files are converted to QuickTime when transferred to your PC, so they can be easily e-mailed or uploaded to family and friends.
Timed capture preferences let you take self-portraits, as well as set the Eyemodule2 for some time-lapse photography, taking multiple pictures every few seconds, minutes, or hours. The timer also works for video, counting down and then automatically capturing the set length of video.
The Eyemodule2 isn't a substitute for a high-end digital camera, but it offers passable quality coupled with a lot of nifty features that up the value-add for this module. --J. Curtis

Customer Reviews of Handspring Eyemodule2 Digital Camera for Visor
fun, cheap, simple and useful If you are not too exigent with your expectations about a very good quality camera, this is the tool you'd use without pay any battery or a card expansion. OK, the quality is not the best but it is quite clear if you learn to take your photos after trial and errors. When you got it you'll see it was worthy to buy one. If you don't want to carry everywhere your regular digital camera this is the easiest way to do it, just connected with your visor inside your pocket/case. Believe me, it's fun.
I like it alot...
Mine came bundled with my visor neo...whcih i thought was a great deal. I agree that the quality of the pics varies from poor to acceptable... and it can be hard (very hard) to take a good pic holding the visor steady and pushing that teeny button you have to push near the lens....AND it wont fit in my case with the module in. BUT....i really really like it... if i load the software onto the computer the pics will be in color (supposedly) becuase the only reason they are in B&W is becuase they are on the visor... if i load the viewing software on my computer i am supposed to be able to view them in color. i would use them to send in emails...nothing more artistic... they are basicly poloroid-like... its fun having the pics on the visor EVEN tho they take up room.
alot of the MOST fun things i have on my visor arent useful at all... at least this has some potential usefullness for me. i can see it being VERY useful at the scene of an accident wehn i would need pictures... or a photo album of family pics, maybe.
A *sensational* little gadget
Obviously it's not going to make you the next Ansel Adams, but this little Springboard device is SERIOUS FUN. It has the magical charm of those ancient toy plastic-lens cameras and its cool factor is just about off the scale. The color is surprisingly true and the fact that you're holding your Visor like a 2 1/4 inch format camera gives you the same disarming interaction with your subject, ie, you can make eye contact since you don't have a box in front of your face.
Again, don't expect miracles, and remember that any camera is merely a tool, you've gotta bring some magic of your own to the table, but I must say that I haven't been this happy and excited about an electronic device since... well, ever. It's THAT good. PLUS its little manual is exceptionally well-designed, the little metal case that comes with it is brilliant, the software is robust and well thought out -- If there's going to be an Eyemodule 3, I want to be first in line to buy it!
