EPSON PhotoPC 650
Megapixel Digital Camera
FEATURES BENEFITS
THE VALUE-PACKED, EASY-TO-USE CAMERA FOR
WORK AND PLAY.
Let’s talk features. And let’s talk value. You’ll find the
EPSON PhotoPC 650 is loaded with both. For starters,
its 1.09 megapixel CCD sensor allows you to take brilliant
vivid color images with 1152 x 864 pixel resolution in
more than 16 million colors. And you can preview and
playback images on the PhotoPC 650’s 1.8" LCD monitor
and instantly erase any you don’t want.
Picture-taking is a snap. Simply point the camera and
click the shutter. The auto-focus lens will capture
breathtaking color pictures from as close as 6" to infinity.
The PhotoPC 650 is also equipped with a built-in auto-
flash and a 5-element, aspherical glass lens. Together,
they ensure sharp, detailed images under a wide range
of lighting conditions.
For greater versatility, the PhotoPC 650’s 37mm
threads let you easily add optional wide-angle, close-up
and telephoto lenses. And to conserve battery life, the
camera’s Quick Review feature displays the picture taken
on the LCD monitor for up to 5 seconds.
The PhotoPC 650 also comes with an 8MB USB
CompactFlash™card by Lexar Media™capable of storing
an average of 47 fine (1152 x 864 pixel) resolution
images. And it supports USB image transfer—making it
ideal for use with USB Windows®98, iMac™and Power
Macintosh™G3 computers. Just insert the USB
CompactFlash card into the adapter cable and plug the
cable into any USB port to download your images. The
PhotoPC 650 also supports serial transfer of images to
any Windows or Macintosh®PowerPC®computer with a
serial port.
All of this cutting-edge technology is wrapped up
in a very affordable package, making the PhotoPC 650
the digital camera that’s both easy to use and easy on
your wallet.
