Here is a nice product for all you photo weenies like me :D :D A 640X480 pixel SDIO camera for your Axim! And it's only $13.99, which for the price, you can't go wrong. I haven't personally owned one, but it looks pretty neat

Sadly international shipping is somewhat more than the $13.99 price tag:

Shipping Method Shipping Cost

FedEx
FedEx International Economy $60.00
FedEx International Priority $64.00

UPS
WorldwideExpress $63.00

UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
USPS Parcel Air $20.00

Anyone know of a source for these in UK?

So far, haven't gotten the SD camera to work. I have been seeking tweaks, updates with no success yet. The drivers are for 2002/2003 not WM5. Haven't given up-yet. Will let you know.

The software for the sd camera is for 2002/2003; however, Desma tech support emailed me a file today for WM5. The camera is working now.

I still got the error message with the new file.

I installed the original software on my X51v. I then repaired the software with the new file. I did have to soft reset the unit to get the camera to work. That may have been my problem all along.

So far the camera sucks. The image is grainy in all resolutions, and the fps seems slow. I will continue to explore its functions.

After all, it was a $13.99 camera.

I just got the camera and have the same problem. I am also running WM5. I tried to contact Desma but my e-mail was undeliverable. [email]support@desmaco.com[/email]. Do you have the e-mail address of the tech that send you the file ? or can you share the file you have? thanks..
