Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Agfa 1680 1.2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom

Customer Review: One Handed ease of use
Summary: 5 Stars

You can hold this great camera with one hand (preferably your right) and run through all the functions. Take pictures, delete one or all. See all shots in a contact sheet format or just one shot. Three resolutions to chose from. Great zoom & Macro focus.

Even though one person said it is too heavy and it's the size of a paperback book, I have big hands and found quite comfortable to use.

I like the split action as it does make it easier to shoot over crouds.

Keyspan does make a USB cable that fits the jack on the camera to go with a Mac.

The only bummer I found is that when I bought the camera I was running OS 9.1 and it was great. Now i'm running "Tiger" OS 10.4.1 & no one has software to support that operating system. Now when I download images from the camera I have to restart in the old OS 9 system to use PhotoWise.

Yes I know I have to buy a USB or a Firewire reader and i'm asking Santa for that!

Even an idiot can operate this cool camera. It's too bad Agfa doesn't make it any more. You can find one online if you search hard enough (try Ebay) but it will still cost you $600.

I don't need to upgrade to any fancier digital, this one rocks!

Description of Agfa 1680 1.2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom

Agfa's latest ePhoto camera is the next-generation edition of the successful ePhoto 1280. The silver-toned ePhoto 1680 incorporates the unique and highly functional design of the ePhoto 1280, yet the new camera is more technically advanced. The ePhoto 1680 is ideal for capturing images to put in electronic publications, multimedia presentations, slide shows and Web sites, in brochures, catalogs, cards and other printed materials.The design of the ePhoto 1680 is similar to the ePhoto 1280, featuring the 280-degree FlashTrack swivel zoom lens, a 2" superior quality LCD, and the EasyPilot one-button control for accessing all camera functions. The main difference between the two cameras is the CCD sensor. While the ePhoto 1280 has an 810,000 pixel sensor, the ePhoto 1680 features a true 1.3 million pixel sensor for producing photo quality images. In addition, with Agfa's PhotoGenie image enhancement technology, the ePhoto 1680 is able to achieve a resolution of 1.9 million pixels for extremely crisp and clean enlargements. The ePhoto 1680 also includes a 6x zoom (3x optical plus 2x digital), and the camera supports a unique black and white document mode for capturing text or data. The camera also includes several improvements over the ePhoto 1280 which make it even more user friendly, including faster processing speed, interruptible image capture and playback, the ability to save camera settings, and the ability to select any number of images for deletion at one time. As with the ePhoto 1280, the ePhoto 1680 includes four flash modes, video out, support for SSFDC SmartMedia cards, and other advanced settings -- including manual exposure and focus settings, white balance and external flash synchronization.
