Summary

Gateway's latest entry into the digital imaging marketplace is their DV-S20, a 2.1 megapixel digital still and video camera. Gateway calls the camera "pocket sized" and for good reason. At 4.3 oz it measures 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.2 inches and truly does fit in a pocket. The camera records still images in the JPEG format and movies in the MPEG-4 format.

The DV-S20 Pocket Multi-Cam is not intended for super high quality photos, prints or videos. If you're in the market for the best imaging, this is not the device for you. However, this device is quite useful for someone who wants to have a still and video camera handy at all times. It's small, light, and under the right conditions, takes good images and videos. It's very easy to use and you can quickly get videos and images to your computer and on the Internet.
