IBM 33L4889 Purchased Summer 2002, $30 This is a small inexpensive camera which I believe may have been the same model frequently given away along with various Internet provider promo specials. It has the poorest image quality of all the cameras I have tried. We purchased this one at a Wal-Mart store for $29.95. It appears that the electronics may have been made by Veo, since the computer seems to identify it as a Veo device. Don't lose the driver disk for this camera. I tried installing a driver I found on the Internet which the computer couldn't even identify the camera much less make it work. I ended up using the "Windows Update" option during the "search for a driver" on installation, that seemed to work. The focus ring is short, tight and very difficult to adjust. At least it stays in place. Pluses Very cheap Minuses Poor image quality Useless in dim light Difficult to adjust
