5.0 out of 5 stars USB, Mega-Pixel,Compact Flash, November 29, 1999

I thought it was a mistake when a friend told me about he features this camera had at this price. This is my second camera, my first being a Vivitar vivicam 2700 (which I paid $349. for) Which was very difficult to hook up and download pictures. This AGFA with its USB connection could not have been easier. And the picture quality! My Vivitar was 640x480 this is better than twice as good! Thanks

4.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably great features, but eats batteries., February 4, 2000

After searching fruitlessly for months for this camera's cheaper little brother, the ePhoto 780c, I decided to spend the extra $100 and get this one instead. I'm happy I made the choice-- this camera has MUCH higher resolution, a very nice in-camera user interface (it's remarkably easy to set the focus and flash and step through your pictures on the camera's LCD screen)and great connectivity features-- it handles CompactFlash memory nicely, and has both serial and USB (the BEST! ) connection options. I easily hooked it up to both my PC and my Mac; it's a snap.

There's only one problem, and it's a big one: this guy gobbles batteries like crazy. If you're using the flash and LCD viewfinder to frame your pictures, expect to burn through a set of 4 AA batteries in about 35 minutes. Using the optical viewfinder and remembering to use the flash judiciously (this camera handles low light well, even without the flash) will extend battery life, but even so, you'll only get about 3-4 hours of life out of each set of batteries, MAX. The solution is to get a set or three of NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries and a charger; particularly, if you're getting this camera as a gift, throw the batteries and charger in! Once you've got those, you've got one dynamite little camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Battery Hog, December 29, 1999

I bought an $80 camera to start off with and the resolution was sooo bad that i returned it. I thought that i would never but a digital camera again. I found this one, read a few reviews and decided it couldnt hurt to try it out. Well the one and only picture i could take with the batteries that they sent me was awsome. The only 2 things i would sugjest purchasing with this camera would be 8 nickel metal hydride batteries(which are rechargable, so get a recharger also) and buy at least a 16 meg compactflash card so you can take more then 12 good pictures before downloading. Once you get these goods the camera really rock n rolls.
