Texy, the picture crispness looks about the best I've seen in those inexpensive pen-cams. Most look fuzzy at best. I am however a little perplexed. Either my eyes are playing a trick or there appears to be a 'glass ball' effect going on. The pictures look like there is some optical distortion (as though a curved glass is in front of the middle part). Is this something done in photoshop or some other program or is this the output the camera always does? I'm not trying to diss them as the clearity was much better than the other's I've seen and I'd like to get one providing it won't have those bubbles. I'd rather send a small, 68 gram $50 pencam up than my bigger, heavier and more costly digital. Thanks.
