Paying attention on impressive sizes of the camera, we express doubts in choice by firm Agfa thin carriers SmartMedia for camera, when much more perspective the format CompactFlash is. Also it is possible to mark unusual design of the camera, of which to keep it in hands for want of long shootings is rather tiresome, but it is possible to shoot with any exotic positions of a camera. And though the optical viewfinder has not hindered it, at the expense of a turning screen it is possible to receive perfect shots in the most humble conditions (for example, keeping the camera above a head in crowd). However, despite of all marked defects, controls the camera ePhoto 1680 - one from most convenient among many cameras. Performances Agfa ePhoto... Read review

Advantages: solidly built, extraordinarily easy-to-use unit that offers good value for money
Disadvantages: Maybe a little to simple for professionals

...The ePhoto 780c from Agfa is a prime example of the adage 'you get what you pay for'. It may not have the bells and whistles of a higher-end digital camera, but it is a solidly built, extraordinarily easy-to-use unit that offers good value for money. This camera stands out from the rest by nature of its colour more than anything else; a metallic blue that manages to look interesting without looking garish. In addition, like some of its more expensive rivals, the 780c boasts a decent-size LCD screen (which can be turned off in order to save battery power - a brilliant idea) and a clever electronic lens cover that opens and closes at the touch of a button. In essence, the 780c is a point-and-shoot digital camera that shares a lot of the same features and functions of its non-digital ancestors. The documentation enclosed (provided... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, parallel port, fast and friendly service, good software included.
Disadvantages: Erm, haven't found any yet, except the OCR (text editing) software was hard to setup properly.

...The Agfa Snapscan 1212p is my first scanner and what an excellent choice I made! The p stands for parallel port, such as your printer port. For those of us who are not lucky enough to have USB connections as our computers are not exactly upto date enough for this sort of technology finding a cheap parallel port scanner has become increasingly difficult. As far as I can tell Argos now do not do a parallel port scanner and Office World has expensive models. I was not going to pay £50 for a cable to change the cheap USB scanner to a parallel port connection, as that seemed a waste of money. I waited and tried to order one from a small company, but at the time my computer was not good enough for the software and did not meet the requirements. So I gave up. The other day when looking on a competitions site I came across www... Read review

Advantages: Easy for beginners, Fairly affordable.
Disadvantages: Heavy, Ugly, Glare from flash indicator, Eats batterys!

...£179.99. When I got the camera home and began to read the very basic printed literature (the manuals were included in digital adobe acrobat format on cd rom) I discovered that the camera could only acheive 1024 x 768 using "Agfa Photogenie" which was interpolation by any other name, Interpolation is a software "cheat" to make a picture look like a higher resolution than it actually is. This isnt my main complaint, The quality of the pictures is very poor. I actually found myself turning off photogenie to get a better qaulity image!?. Nowhere... Read review

Advantages: Small,Webcam, Easy to use, Acceptable battery life, good for email and internet
Disadvantages: problems with XP driver,quality, customer service

...I bought this nice little camera for £50 at http://www.internetcamerasdirect.co.uk there prices are very good on all cameras so its worth a look. The camera was easy to set up, it came with a CD installation - I had windows ME then. I then, however had an upgrade to windows XP and the camera wouldnt work. The only driver i could get to work from the agfa website is the one in dutch. Agfa may have updated their site with new UK XP drivers now - but I should check this before buying. I emailed agfa about the camera but recieved no response - so I am doubtful that they have high level of customer service. I am very pleased with the camera overall - you get alot for your £50 worth - a webcam alone costs approx £30! The pictures are ideal for emailing to friends and putting up on the internet...sometimes the pictures look white... Read review

Advantages: Sturdy,esay to use and an extremely handy accessory.
Disadvantages: None really.

...There are so many scanners on the market to-day that there is no shortage of choice. However...they are not all the same.The Agfa E20 portays this to a point with its plethora of facilities and capabilities...and all for under 100.00 (u.k.) The Agfa E20 scans at photo quality (Thats about 1200x 1200 pixels per inch). Like all scanners these days tha Agfa E20 comes with the necessary software to use with O.C.R. (thats optical Character Recognition) which means that you can basically put a printed text douccument into the scanner and the text will be read by it and re-formatted into text for just about any wordprocessing software on the market. This means that one no longer has to type written or typed text into the computer by hand. Another great feature of the Agfa E20 is that the scanner is interpollated. This is a long word...

Advantages: Light weight small and compact.
Disadvantages: Low quality pictures unless lighting is perfect.

...The Agfa CL18 is a small, lightweigh and low cost camera. I bought my CL18 about a year ago at a cost of aprox 50 pounds. The camera came with a small carry case, wrist strap, USB cable, manual and a camera stand. The stand is pretty usefull if you want to use your camera as a web cam. When used as a web cam the pictures are of fairly good quality, but for photographs the CL18 leaves a lot to be desired. On the day I bought the camera I went for a drive, took the camera with me and took quite a lot of photos when I was out and about. I got home to be very disapointed at the picture quality. I uploaded the images to my pc and found them to be very poor. The images where dark, sometimes blury and overall very poor in terms of detail. If you want to take good pictures with an Afa CL18 you need to have perfect lighting. Even... Read review

Advantages: very good grain, reasonable exposure latitude, and is perfectly adequately sharp
Disadvantages: need to order specially, difficult to find

...A much-neglected colour slide film, and undeservedly so. For many years, manufacturers have concentrated on increasing colour saturation and contrast, to give exaggerated colours, so far in your face that they’re coming out of the back of your head. Agfa quietly went on making subtle and luminous films, which show all the variations in the greens of an English landscape without introducing artificial and acid tones, or the gentle gradations of a fine complexion without adding a tan. It can even manage both in the same frame! It isn’t a popular film: you may find a roll or two on the cooler shelf at a large shop, but to buy a useable quantity, you will need to order specially, or go to a professional dealer. Processing is standard E-6. I’ve used Agfa colour film for 25 years, after Bazz and Barry, who ran... Read review

Advantages: USB, Looks good, simple to use
Disadvantages: Yet another product with poor documentation

...The Agfa SnapScan 1212u is a USB flatbed scanner. It is mostly recommended for home use and maybe small business. The first thing you notice when you open the box is the dual Macintosh and Windows 98 support. Nothing mentionned about earlier versions of Windows. This is interesting if you own a PC besides your Mac and need to scan images to use on a PC. Agfa claims that its color capture is 36-bit and reaches over 68 billion colors. Its plate takes up to 600 (horizontal) x 1200 (vertical) in resolution and scans up to 9600 DPI. It ships with ScanWise, the Color It! image editor, and OmniPage LE. The latter is for text recognition, which I don't use very often, but a mate told me it is quite adequate. Installation This scanner is easy to install. First, you plug the USB cable from the scanner to the USB port of the hub. Second, plug... Read review
