This is a great digital camera at a very affordable price, excellent features that some 300-350 dollar camera don't have (USB download being the best !) Crisp clear LCD screen great picture quality, and stacks of built in RAM, with FLASHCARD slot for up to 64mb of picture space. The only downside I would say is the Macro lens button, a little flimsy, but the good far outweighs the bad in this excellent product.

this is my first digital camera. it seems kind of generic, but it is actually pretty good, it holds a lot of pictures with 4mb of built-in space, it's easy to use, and the pics come out pretty nice. the down side to this camera is that it eats batteries like they are nothing, so make sure to buy those new Energizer Titanium or Duracell Ultra batteries, and even then they don't last more than about 50 shots without the LCD display on. Another problem i had was that i kept getting my fingers in the picture as i was holding the camera. Overall, i like this new toy, despite having to shell out the cash for the batteries, and it's a lot more cheaper than what else is out there.

I bought a Pretec DC - 800 ... The camera works fine. It even used to upload to my computer. I upgraded to WinXP and the camera is not compatible with WinXP when using the USB cable. You also cannot use the MGI PhotoSuite SE that comes, (or at least came when I bought mine,) with the camera with WinXP However PhotoSuite 4 is WinXP comatible. You will need to go to the Pretec WebPage... and down load the latest driver.

You will need a Serial cable that will atatch to the Serial port and the Digital port on the Pretec 800. I was fortunate, my daughter had a ceap digital camera that had a Serial cable and that worked.

It is a bit of a hassle, but the camera does a good job.

This camera is small, cool, and looks really easy to use!
