Megapixels, More Like Mega-whatever-xels!
December 7th, 2005My brother “re-gifted” a camera he had gotten from our parents two years before to my last Christmas—a Canon Exilim “Wearable Card Camera.” Of course, it was missing all of its software and some of its cables. I tried for months to get the USB “cradle” to download to my computer… downloading software and getting new, somehow subtley different, USB cables. No dice. I assumed it just didn’t work on Macs (which the Canon site somewhat implied)
Anyway, right before tossing it, I plugged it in to my laptop and for reasons known only to Life, Destiny and Jesus Christ himself, it worked.
....Aaaaaand, the picture quality sucks.

The flash on the earlier exilim models sucked bigtime. Everything you take looks washed out (the current models of the Sony ‘card’ have the same problem), but the newer model exilim cards have fixed the flash problems.
