This is the smallest camera we have seen that squeezes an LCD viewfinder into its physique. It boasts an interpolated resolution of 3.1 megapixels, capturing images at 2,048 x 1,536.

Without interpolation, it can still manage 2.1 megapixels; equivalent to 1,600 x 1,200; impressive considering the price.

One casualty of the low price is a flash, making the camera useless in poorly lit environments. There are no expansion slots to bolster the 16MB of memory either, so being economical with your snaps is a must.

Nevertheless, you can record reasonably low-quality video clips suitable for emailing.

The LCD3 is a little smaller than an audio cassette case so will easily slip into a jacket pocket.

Transferring images from the camera is simple. Windows XP users won't need to install any drivers; simply attach it to a USB port.

This also means that the LCD3 can act as a 16MB removable storage device, enabling you to drag and drop files to and from the camera using Windows Explorer.
