My Practically Perfect Praktica!
Review of PRAKTICA DC 42 by helpa4eva

Advantages: Easy to use, looks nice, good pictures.
Disadvantages: None

0oo - Praktica DV42 Digital Camera - oo0 Righto. Welcome to my review!. First - a confession. I have been naughty and have already told a little lie - the lie being in the title. The camera is not "My" Practical Praktica, it is actually my sisters, and i have borrowed it for 2 weeks! The camera is a nice one, silver - as is most digital cameras, and cuboidular - again, like most digital cameras. Nothing special or groundbreaking, but its not ugly, ...
...does the job. Takes pictures. Anyway, after looking through Google.com, it turned up this site: http://www.tiscalipc.co.uk/products.asp?recnumber=1339 This sells the camera at £96.23 (down from £113.07). I would definitley say that £96.23 would be money well spent on such a good camera, for reasons listed below. Before i go into personal opinions about this camera, i will baffle you with the tech specs: KEY FEATURES - Image Sensor Type - CCD ... Read review

My Praktica DC42 :-)
Review of PRAKTICA DC 42 by loupyloulou

Advantages: Pretty Cheap Camera, Reliable, Great Pictures
Disadvantages: Not the best instruction book in the world!

I have had the DC42 for two months now. I chose this camera because it was within my budget and cost only £109.99 (although it is on sale at £99.99 now grr lol) from a major high-street catalogue store. For the price it is excellent. It is 4.2 megapixel, interpolates up to 6m, therefore producing some very clear pictures. Power wise, it takes 2 x AA batteries, and unlike some cameras, it does not appear to use them up too quickly, especially when ...
...turned on. Features also include Power Save, date function on or off on pictures, thumbnail view on pictures taken, slideshow, etc. This camera is also capable of movie and sound capture, which is also good quality. When previewing pictures you can zoom in/out then also move the picture around on the screen whilst zoomed in to get a closer look at wheat you have taken which I find to be very useful. Switch between macro mode for close ups and ... Read review

My everso practical Praktica
Review of PRAKTICA DC 42 by fatjo

Advantages: Small practical and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...on to an episode of Eastenders whilst I am in my element showing off my holiday footage. For an easy to use, good looking, versatile, cheap and otherwise all round 'good egg' then when shopping for a digital camera the Praktica DC42 should definitely not be passed by. ... Read review
