Title: Don't underestimate form factor
Product review: It is a great camera, if optics are the only measure of greatness. But that would be like saying that the engine is the only measure of a good car. If the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the dashboard, that's not just some aesthetic issue.So it is with this camera. The stand is terrible. Not only is it flimsy, it's basically inflexible. The camera can sit in one position, with no possiblity to raise, lower, or turn the lens. It wouldn't take much more in terms of design or manufacturing, to be able to set it up with some flexibility. And it can't sit on a table, etc, because the cord extends from the bottom of the unit rather than the top. Inexplicable.A camera is as useful as you can make it. If you would buy a 35mm film camera that could only take mid-distance portraits, and nothing else, then this is the quickcam for you. Again, the image quality is excellent, but that matters far less if there's only one type of image it can capture.
