You can selectively delete images that you don't want to keep to make room for more new images on the memory card, and you can lock images you want to protect from accidental erasure. This simple application displays small versions of the photos currently in the camera in a filmstrip-style window. You can select some or all of the images for downloading. Images on the hard drive appear in a separate 'album' window. Picture quality issues Images are stored in-camera, downloaded and saved in JPEG format.
Picture quality varies accordingly, over a wide range.
You have the option, using the PhotoWise download utility, to apply PhotoGenie 'enhancement' processing to images captured at any size or degree of compression, but you must use it for '1280' resolution images. Images are captured in 30 bit colour and 'optimized' down to standard 24 bit RGB colour format for storage. The highly-compressed formats are suitable for Web site use but don't stand up well in printouts, especially if you try to enlarge them very much. Overall impressions The Agfa ePhoto 1280 is the first digital camera we've field-tested that actually meets our requirements for image quality while also allowing user intervention, when desired, in exposure and focus settings a must, in the view of our creative and production staff. The macro focus setting, in particular, makes product shots a snap.
