Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The SiPix SC-3300 digital camera with video provides outstanding performance and value. Featuring high 3.3-megapixel resolution, you will get the vivid colors and picture detail needed to make large, high-quality prints. The built-in movie mode allows you to record live digital video. Unlike some digital cameras that can produce only short video clips, with an optional CompactFlash card the SC-3300 allows you to record digital movies up to 45 minutes in length. With the included software, and your digital video, it's easy to make home movies.

The SC-3300 has 16 MB of built-in memory, so you'll never miss a shot. If you've filled your camera's memory to capacity, and you want to take more pictures, the SC-3300 has a CompactFlash memory-card expansion slot. Simply insert an optional CompactFlash card and you're ready to shoot more pictures. CompactFlash cards are reusable, so you can delete the pictures and use the card over again. Or, when the memory card becomes full, just take it out and put another one in.

You can use the 3x digital zoom to easily zoom in on your subject. The macro mode can capture the fine detail of items close-up. With the autofocus lens, taking a picture is as simple as pushing the shutter button. For those looking for more control, the SC-3300 has manual adjustable exposure, white balance, and special-effect modes. The continuous-shot feature allows you to rapidly capture four continuous pictures in a row. The 1.6-inch color LCD monitor provides accurate image previewing or playback of still images and video. All of these features are packed into a stylish camera that performs as well as it looks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value....Just plan ahead!, June 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: SiPix SC3300 3.3 MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

I purchased this camera for my husband for father's day. I'd read the warnings about the battery consumption, but decided to try it anyway since most digital cameras have this problem in varying degrees. I'm glad I did. Yes, it does go through batteries like water, but the picture quality is incredible. We bought 8 quality rechargable batteries and the charger. Instead of packing loads of 35mm film, we pack batteries. We turn off the LCD when we are taking lots of pictures and only use it to view. This is a fun, useful, quality camera for the money. A great first digital camera!

3.0 out of 5 stars SIPIX 3.3 MEGAPIXEL, March 23, 2003

Its a nice camera. But you have to buy an adaptor for it. I talked to tech support. You have to go to [the store] and buy a 3v 2 amp (2000ma),yes it has to be a 2 the 1000ma will not work the camera, adaptor for it. I was dissapointed when tech support told me that it only supported 128 meg compact flash, cauuse I already purchased a 256 compact flash. I tried the 256 for kicks anyway, and to my suprise it did work. No problems. I was also told by Sipix that they do not make the power adaptor, so like I said you will be spending about [money at the store] for the adaptor and the right connect, the best thing to do is to take your camera with you so they can get the right connector for it.

This review is from: SiPix SC3300 3.3 MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

I liked mostly everything about this camera except the fact that it ate through batteries like crazy! I changed the batteries 3 times during a 2 day trip. I wasn't even using the camera that much or leaving it on for very long periods of time (it automatically shuts off after a few minutes of not being used anyway). I also found that I couldn't see the LCD screen at all outdoors when it was sunny. I was also a little irritated that I had to print the manual out myself. I'm returning it in hopes of finding a camera that won't go through batteries so fast.
But, I have to admit, I found the camera itself and the software it comes with very easy to use.
