Customer Reviews of Sharp VNEZ1 MPEG-4 Internet Viewcam
Reading software is already built into Internet Explorer This Sharp ViewCam is a revolutionary digital camera which can record motion pictures, sound (built in speaker) and still images (4x Digital Zoom Lens/270-degree rotating lens). The big-file slow-loading problems have been solved with new compression formats. What is great is that this camera doesn't need film, so no more expensive film processing bills.
When you take a picture, the color image is digitally captured on a memory card - like a miniature floppy disk. You can record over 500 images on the card. You can also make movies up to 60 minutes long with sound.
The beauty of this ViewCam is that you can load motion pictures and sound onto the Internet and Microsoft Internet Explorer has the reading software built in so almost anyone will be able to view your e-mail attachments.
All you have to do is point the camera, push a button and you can see the shot on the camera screen (1.8-inch LCD monitor). Then you slide the video card out of the camera and load it into a special floppy disk which is included. Then all you do is open the file on your computer and edit the picture. Then upload and you have pictures on your Web site.
Great product, but only for web video
This is a great product, and appears to be the only one in its class (filmless/tapeless camcorders). And, it's even smaller than it looks in the picture. It makes reasonable quality video recordings -- up to an hour long (with a 32MB SmartMedia card), or longer if you use the time lapse mode and an (included) AC adaptor. (You can upload the video files to the web; Sharp recommends POPcast, a free video hosting service.) It also has a still photo mode, although the resolution isn't so hot. Four alkaline AA batteries supposedly last for a full hour of recording time; my experience so far has been consistent with that claim, and I haven't bothered purchasing long-life (not nicad) rechargeables. You'll definitely want to buy a larger SmartMedia card than the 4MB that comes with the camera; SanDisk and other manufacturers make 32MB cards for about $60. I also recommend adding a USB SmartMedia reader for another $40 or so, although the included floppy disk SmartMedia adapter works on most PCs with internal floppy drives. And start watching for sales on alkaline AA batteries; you'll go through a lot of them with this great camera!
Language Selection
Sharp VNEZ1 MPEG-4 is a great little camera until the batteries fall out when the power is on, and then when you put them back in you find your menus are in Japanese. Then you get a Japanese person to look at it to change it back to English and they tell you there is no menu option to change the language selection - which rings a bell because I never saw an option to change the language selection when it was in English!!!
