I bought an Epson Photo PC600 when I was running a little magazine for a local club. It is quite a nicely styled camera which actually looks like a camera! It is compact but not minature and comes with a carry case and the required software for downloading photos. Its features are quite good. It has zoom,Panorama and multi shot(good for moving targets) It stores around 45 photos at low res and about 6 at high. The results have always been good. It is quite easy to use especially with the onscreen prompts. The LCD screen on the back does tend to eat the batteries though. I would take a spare set with me because everyone wanted to see the results and of course, the screen drained the batteries. It is such a pity it goes through so many batteries because other than that it is a really good camera. It has auto focus and video out, macro setting, auto timer and an expansion slot! The camera was £400 when I bought it and I'm sure there must be really good cameras for that price today but I like the Epson........but not the battery bills
A digital camera might seem like a luxury for a school, but its usefulness is undeniable, providing you with the ability to move imagery to a Web site or liven up a text-heavy school brochure or newsletter, without having to incur processing costs. The Epson PhotoPC 600 provides a reasonable compromise between features and image quality. Its maximum resolution is 1024x768 and the supplied memory is 4Mb, although this only allows for eight images to be stored at the highest-quality setting. If this isn't sufficient, the camera offers two additional quality settings, the lowest of which has a 640x480 resolution and will allow 56 images to be stored. The camera is fully automatic with a fixed focus lens and automatic exposure with no manual override. As such, you can reasonably expect that you will receive an acceptable, if not particularly exciting, picture. In terms of conventional photographic facilities, there are a few features that you might not expect on a camera at this price. These are panorama, multiframe and zoom modes. The Panorama mode simply alters the aspect ratio of the image by blanking off the top and bottom. Instead of using a zoom lens that allows greater detail to be recorded in distant subjects, the Epson camera simply duplicates pixels in order to cause a small portion of the image to fill up a complete frame.
good value, good mode selection, good quality, well built, canon quality, good battery life, good resolution and quality, good manual controls, good LCD
clumpy, clunky design and controls, too big to be a true compact, interface pauses, zoom irritating, not worth the upgrade from G3 (*)
