Gone are the days when you'd pay £400 for a camera that'd store 32 pictures at a resolution that makes DOS games look like the latest 3D graphics...
Along comes the EZ200, from Kodak. I decided to buy my brother one of these for Christmas, and at £99.99 it was one hell of a bargain. OK, so the software that's bundled with it is a little cumbersome to say the least, but it's fully TWAIN compatible so most graphics programs should be able to capture from it.
The best part about this camera, in my humble opinion, is that it stores more photos than you would ever need to. I've had nearly 500 on it in the lower resolutions, and a tasty 120 at a resolution of 640*480.
Of course, the huge capacity of this camera is by no means the only thing it's got going for it. It has a number of different modes including high res, low res, multi-shot (where it takes five pictures in quick succession, and with very little blurring as long as you're steady enough), time-lapse giving youo a chance to get in the picture too and even 9 chunks of 10 second videos! It's also got a MACRO lens, although I recommend you don't attempt to use this unless it's hooked up to your computer at the time, since the lack of a viewscreen means you're better off leaving it to the auto-focus.
The download speeds from the camera are phenomenal, you're never waiting more than a few minutes, even if the memory is full, although this is most likely due to the fact that it connects via USB.
And of course, not forgetting the accessories, you get a cute little blue stand to perch it on and it makes delightful 'whirring' noises to imatate your classic camera!
All in all, I'd recommend this camera to ANYONE, beginners and pros alike. If you need any further convincing feel free to contact me for more info!
