Overview
Pixal's DC100 digital camera provides outstanding performance for its
price range. The camera works superbly in low-light situations, offering
a wide variety of compression schemes and display options. The Pixal
DC100 combines ease of use with digital technology, 2x digital zoom,
and digital autofocusing. The 1.3-megapixel CCD sensor ensures accurate
color and exposure.
The DC100 includes an 8 MB memory card that can hold up to 60 pictures
at 640x480 resolution. In addition, the DC100 can store single pictures
at a 1280x960 resolution. You can insert an additional 8 MB of memory
for greater performance.
The DC100 comes with four AA batteries (enough for 60 low-resolution
photos) and a removable 8 MB Smartcard, capable of storing 120 pictures.
You also get photo imaging software and a printer interface kit.
