4.0 out of 5 stars Adequate for the price
On the positive side, the DC-520 (we ordered gray and got blue) takes surprisingly clear pictures, is fairly easy to use (after reading the instructions), and doubles as a web-cam IF you have Windows 98 or 2000. I have W95. For Windows 95, it connects by serial port for snap-shots. On the negative side, the supporting software seems rather primitive and moves very slowly...

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing else to buy ? Take it......
I have used a few digital cameras but have not found any unusuall qualities in the Pretec DC-520.The picture quality is just average,not better than its competitors.I bought it 2 months ago but have used it just for 5 or 6 times.Instead I like using my JVC Digital camera.It has many more functions than the Pretec DC-520.I would not recommend you to buy this.

On the positive side, the DC-520 (we ordered gray and got blue) takes surprisingly clear pictures, is fairly easy to use (after reading the instructions), and doubles as a web-cam IF you have Windows 98 or 2000. I have W95. For Windows 95, it connects by serial port for snap-shots. On the negative side, the supporting software seems rather primitive and moves very slowly. As well, downloading moves achingly slow. Also, the camera takes a few seconds of annoying down-time between each shot. On the whole,..., it's worth consideration, but be sure you know what the competition has.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value, August 29, 2000

This review is from: Pretec DC-520 0.3MP Digital Camera, Gray (Electronics)
This is the second digital camera that I have owned and is by far nicer than the last one that cost me 299.00. A very good value.

3.0 out of 5 stars Web What?, September 9, 2002

This review is from: Pretec DC-520 0.3MP Digital Camera, Gray (Electronics)
They say that you can use the Camera as a Web Cam but that is not so. After you follow the instructions to hook it up as a Web Cam they tell you that you have to buy additional software, but they don't tell you what software or where to get it. So the description for this product is misleading and false because if you buy it you really won't be able to use it as a web cam seeing how you have to buy even more software to make it into a web cam and that is only if you can find it.
