3.0 out of 5 stars Pretec DC-600 review, August 16, 2000

This review is from: Pretec DC-600 0.3MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

Good entry-level camera with good memory expansion capabilities (up to 32 MB), but very slow processing time (6-7 seconds) between taking or reviewing pictures. Poor indoor picture quality even when using the flash. As with most digital cameras, using the display eats batteries faster than you can replace them.

This review is from: Pretec DC-600 0.3MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

This is an entry-level Point&Shoot, low-resolution digital camera, very pleasant to use. So far, I have taken pictures indoors, for most part. All the spontaneous comments I have received were positive, and actually many thought that the image was very "clear". If one takes the time to work on the camera settings, such as the EV compensation and the type of ambient light, the results are normally good. Again, this is not a high resolution camera, but does the job, for which it is intended, very well.
