I'm sorry to hear the trouble of the other reviewer, but this camera has been wonderful for me. I have an epson printer and I use epson photo paper and create photo albums (both hard copy and digital) of the kids for the family which frankly are better quality than the 35mm I had.

And while I love the playback feature, it's a battery eater, so I'll be picking up the electrical plug for the holidays. Also, for big picture taking opportunities, you probably should plan to buy a bigger flash card that will hold more pix. The second best resolution holds around 30 pix only and I know I usually go through more than that, though pix at that resolution print beautifully on glossy photo paper.

I do occasionally have problems with lighting and red eye, but I think it has more to do with the photographer than the camera and is pretty easily corrected in most graphics programs.

The shoot and play aspect of this is WONDERFUL! You put the usb adapter in the back of the computer, stick in your flash card and drag and drop the pix to your desktop. My family appreciates it, too, because I usually take forever getting pictures developed, copied and mailed.

This little gem has done me well. It has USB, takes great pictures, comes with great software, and an 8 MB memory card. USB really makes a big difference. The performance is gobs and gobs better than the serial interface. This alone makes it worthwhile. But it takes great pictures too....

Been enjoying this camera for the last several weeks. Easy to use and set up, great pictures and easy to handle too! Already bought the 32mb Flashcard. Watch out though, I got it on a close out so Epson may be discontinuing the 650 line! GET ONE WHILE THEY LAST!

Digital cameras can be very expensive but if you are looking for great value for money and are an novice looking for a"snapshot" type digital camera which is both suitable for home use or in the business world where you need to take shots of equipment etc. Then you wont beat the Epson Photo PC650, it has many usefull features such as the ability to choose between four pixel settings, playback on the built in LCD can be either groups of nine or one at a time. When downloaded via either a TV or PC the quality is unquestionable for a camera of this price. I have been delighted with the results, which are even better than some makes costing much more. The size of this unit is small enough to fit into your pocket or briefcase. A great buy.

As a decidedly "non-computer" person, I found this camera very easy to use. I was satisfied , but not thrilled, with the picture quality, compared to my brother's digital at less than half the price. Since I had purchased the camera through Apple along with my iMac, I would have expected it to have come with a JumpShots cable compatible with the iMac. Luckily I did not go out and purchase one, as the camera did not hold up well for the relatively limited use it got. Rather than spend who know how much on repair, I am now in the market for a (non-Epson) replacement.
