Epson has launched two new digital cameras — the PhotoPC L-200 and L-300. These cameras are designed for entry-level and intermediate-level users.
They are both built around the PhotoPC Engine — a built-in processor, which acts as a PC to allow direct printing to Epson Stylus Photo printers and PC-connected printers.
The PhotoPC L-300 is equipped with a 3-megapixel class CCD, while the PhotoPC L-200 is equipped with a 2-megapixel class CCD. Both cameras feature a 3x optical zoom lens as standard.
Built-in photo framing enables the user add attractive frames to any photo. The frames can be applied either before or after the photo has been taken, making it easy to line the subject up on the LCD screen or add a fun frame at a later date. The photos can then be printed directly with or without the frame, whichever the occasion calls for.
Both cameras are constructed of aluminium and stainless steel, while the compact lightweight bodies are durable and easy to handle. The cameras use four standard AA alkaline batteries.
Other features include four different flash modes and Portrait, Landscape & Macro modes that adjust the relevant depth-of-field settings automatically. Video clip and continuous shooting modes are also standard on both models. For the more experienced user, the Exposure Compensation, ISO Sensitivity and White Balance can all be manually adjusted.
Epson has also launched a new photo printer for home users in the form of the Stylus Photo 830U.
It is designed as a low cost printer for digital camera owners and photo enthusiasts wanting high quality photo printing capabilities that are both fun and easy to use. With its sleek metallic exterior, the Stylus Photo 830U is equipped with two USB ports, one conveniently located at the front of the printer allowing easy connection to digital cameras such as the PhotoPC L-200 and L-300 so that the user can print directly from the camera.
Capable of printing up to an optimised resolution of 5760dpi on certain media, this model prints at speeds of up to 14 pages per minute in black text and 13.7ppm in colour. Compatible with Windows and Mac, the Stylus Photo 830U retails for EUR175.
