Agfa ePhoto 307 color digital camera

Agfa introduces the ePhoto 307 color digital camera, which offers high quality and an affordable price to the home and office computer user. With a lightweight body, the ease of a point-and-shoot camera, Adobe's PhotoDeluxe and Agfa's PhotoWise software, ePhoto is a quick and flexible tool for digitally capturing, editing and managing images.

Designed For Both Business And Personal Applications.

Agfa ePhoto allows PC and Apple Macintosh users to instantly capture images for a wide variety of purposes. Its two resolution settings of 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 pixels provides users with the option of using the lower resolution setting for on-screen applications such as web pages, electronic presentations and email, or the higher resolution setting for printed documents. In combination with high quality 24-bit imaging, this results in sharp pictures for home and business uses. Agfa ePhoto stores 36 high-resolution and 72 standard-resolution digital photographs. Whether for Web site construction, business documents, photo manipulation, or output to a printer, Agfa ePhoto provides businesses with an easy and affordable digital camera option. Every workplace, from real estate to advertising to design organizations can take advantage of its quality and efficiency.

As a tool for business, educational or personal use, Agfa ePhoto offers users an immediate way to capture images and bring them into their computer. It eliminates the steps of film processing and scanning. "With the widespread use of color-capable personal computers, color inkjet printers, and affordable image processing software, PC users can now make the simple next step of capturing their images with the ePhoto camera," said Etienne Van Damme, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales for the Agfa Business Unit Electronic Prepress Systems. "We believe the immediacy of capturing photographs economically and the advantage of using images to communicate will make ePhoto a new creative tool for business and personal use."

Added Value Software Included.

Included with the Agfa ePhoto are Agfa PhotoWise and Adobe PhotoDeluxe software. Agfa PhotoWise moves the images quickly and easily from the camera into the computer. The pictures can then be organized and enhanced. PhotoWise also gives users easy access to images stored in the camera with the PhotoWise Quicklink browser, which provides drag-and-drop support into other OLE2 applications such as those in Microsoft Office. Adobe PhotoDeluxe is an image editing package that easily modifies and personalizes digital photos. Suited for home use, this software has over 25 guided activities to help you improve and manipulate images, as well as many tools for merging pictures into documents, postcards, greeting cards, or other desired formats. Both programmes are Windows 95 and Macintosh compatible. PhotoWise also operates with Windows NT.

Portable, Easy And Fun To Use.

The Agfa ePhoto 307 is as simple to use as a traditional point-and-shoot camera. A user operates a shutter button and can choose between several flash settings, including auto flash mode or red eye reduction. There is a "delete files" button and a button to choose high or low resolution. The Agfa ePhoto is light and compact, making it easy to carry in a briefcase, backpack or pocketbook. Most of all, the ePhoto puts creativity and control with the user, allowing home and office users to immediately capture and work with photos to make their own slide shows, reports, newsletters, advertisements, web pages, greeting cards and more.

In addition to the software, Agfa ePhoto also comes with serial cables for connection to both PC and Macintosh computers; 4 AA alkaline batteries; built in auto flash and self-timer features; and 2MB of internal flash memory. ePhoto is the newest addition to Agfa's line of digital cameras, including the StudioCam and ActionCam. Agfa ePhoto has a suggested list price of US $599 (US).
