Epson PhotoPC 3100 Zoom / Epson C920Z

Opinion: I have had this camera for only 5 days now, but it has hardly been out of my hands. The handling is extremely easy once you have read the instruction booklet and the image quality is every bit as good as I'd hoped. I have also tested a couple of manual/auto flashguns and the results were excellent. By using a flashgun on the hotshoe there was no sign of redeye at all on a close facial shot.

Opinion: I chose this camera because it uses easily obtainable AA batteries, plus it uses a Flashcard. Downloading these via a reader is a dream - as compared with how it used to be done anyway

Opinion: I have had this camera for two months . I got it for my daughters wedding and took over 100 pictures printd them on my cannon S-800 printer. showed them to the pro who shot the wedding and he could,t believe they were taken with a digital camera

Opinion: I've had it for almost a year and its been trouble-free. I've taken hundreds of low-altitude aerial photos at various resolutions and with/without zoom. The best phots are at high resolution (need I say, "duh?"), though the advance (internal bus speed, I suppose) slows considerably at high resolution which makes serial pictures at low alt/high groundspeed impossible at high resolution. The photointerpreters with whom I work were very impressed with the quality of the oblique aerials on computer monitors. I think avoiding the scanning process required for film-to-PC gives a higher relative quality for the digital file to the digital camera.

I bought a 128 meg card that I've never filled. The most photos/flight I've taken was 90. It took well-over an hour to download via USB. Wish I had a Mac & Firewire instead of this scatter-brained, clunky Pentium-based uh, device....I suppose that's a different review, huh?
