Totally true, Cotty. I bought my Epson PhotoPC 1.3 M-pixel camera rather early in the game. Paid a fair amount for it, I did, compared to what one gets today, but...I have enjoyed the heck out of it! It seems to ME like it gives me 3 megapixel images, because for whatever reason they look absolutely great on the computer screen and I'm very satisfied with what I have. Whatever methods Epson used to take and deliver an image to my screen, it works. Period!
While I may hanker for some other neat little (new) digital camera on occasion, I'm very satisfied with what Epson produced, and with my eventual choice. I'll hang with what I have and be happy I bought what I did. keith whaley Cotty wrote: > > >As Pentax have recently claimed that their digital camera will have a > >lifespan of six months, it seems likely it is a new version of the then > >outdated DSLR shown this spring! > > Can I just clear something up?
