Agfa ePhoto 1280, a feature-rich, affordably priced digital camera, provides photo-quality images and elegant design for professionals who use photos in their work. Agfa is committed to creating a strong family of advanced, affordable digital cameras that give the customers a wide range of choices to match their needs. All professionals use digital images differently, so they should be able to choose the digital camera that best fits their needs. With its ePhoto family, Agfa is committed to providing this choice, while giving customers high quality and ease of use. The ePhoto 1280 is designed for the quality-conscious, and those business professionals who need to capture images for documentation or communication in fields such as real estate, insurance, law enforcement, contracting, and design. ePhoto 1280 features FlashTrack 3x optical swivel zoom lens. The movable lens permits maximum flexibility when taking hard-to-get photos, while the flash remains in line with the lens at all times, ensuring proper exposure. In addition, the ePhoto 1280 includes a superior high-resolution color LCD, providing crisp images for framing or playing back shots under any light conditions. The camera also provides virtually unlimited picture storage with SmartMedia removable flash memory.
The entire camera will fit into an average sized palm and weighs about a pound and a half with the batteries in it. Speaking of batteries, the 1280 comes with NiMH rechargable AA-size batteries and a nice table top charger unit - all included in the base package! Agfa was smart enough to realize that an LCD-only digicam tends to go through batteries like candy so they gave us the best. The manual tells you that alkaline batteries are an extremely poor choice for this camera and recommends using the supplied NiMH, NiCd or lithium type cells only. It is ALWAYS a very good idea to buy at least one or two other sets of NiMH cells and keep them fully charged and ready to go into the camera.
