1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy from Pretec if you have WinXP, March 5, 2002

I bought a Pretec DC - 800 from Amazon. The camera works fine. It even used to upload to my computer. It no longer does. I upgraded to WinXP and the camera is not compatible with WinXP. In fact, looking on the Pretec website I found not one single camera that said it was WinXP compatible.

I have tried numerous times to contact Pretec and find if a WinXP driver is in the works, or if I will have to get a different camera. I have yet to receive a responce.

That tells me that Pretec wants only to sell its wares and let the buyer beware.

So, if you have WinXP or ae planing to upgrade to it, I would advise you to stay away from Pretec products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice P&S Digital Camera, November 13, 2002

I have this camera as Vivitar's ViviCam 3655 (it's the same as Pretec DC2000). It's a very nice digital camera with awesome image quality. This camera system sensitivity is equivalent to using ISO 170 film. This means you will have to use flash for very low light situations or stay away from them. The CCD response to high contrast situation is surprisingly good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Protec DC 2000 - A worthy camera for your money, February 12, 2001

Pretec's brand new DC-2000 is a full-featured high-end 2.3 megapixel digital camera capable of super-high resolution images up to 1792 X 1200. It features 2.3X optical and 2X digital zoom, auto-focus, 1.8" color LCD display, multi-language display, USB interface for downloading, and support for CompactFlash memory cards. The DC-2000 is easy enough to be used by a novice, yet powerful enough for an intermediate or even advanced user.
