    ...and fine little photos they are, too. I've been waiting for someone to post shots from these Funkycams. Which one did you get?

    Yes, I know of that cam. There's two models.

    and if you don't mind some questions...

    Did you get the 320 x 240, or the 640 x 480 with the 100 seconds of video?
    How does one delete the pics from the cam once they're uploaded with the tiny USB cable? Is any of the software on the CD necessary?

    David,
    Sorry about the delay.
    About the model I'm not really sure,just ordered what they had. However, the instruction sheet rolleyes1.gif does hint at a continuous shoot mode,as well as three photos continuously.You can set the resolution from QVGA mode ne_nau.gif 104 photos to VGA mode 30 pictures,or as the instructions say pieces of photos. Any way I set mine to full throttle-30 pieces.

    I used the software provided but I suspect your program will work. My ACDC program opens the application provided.
    Deleting is no problem, there is a setting on the camera that will delete the last photo or all.So thats not a problem.
    A word of caution, this mini cam is a power hog.It will go into a power saving mode but will drain a battery over several days.So be sure to turn the cam off after every use.
    Hope this helps.

    Here is a link to the geek.com site.They do have two models. However, no lens cap is provided. Gaussian blur is standard. :lol4
