Agfa ePhoto 780 Digital Camera

Pros: Easy to use. Great range of settings for the flash, the resolution and the focal length. The camera itself looks pretty darn cool too.
Cons: The camera I have can only be connected to your computer via a serial port, and as I have a serial mouse and a serial modem, I have no spare ports while online, forcing me to disconnect to upload new pictures. :-( [Update: I now have a PS/2 mouse and can p

I bought this great little camera for myself for christmas, and it's impressed me from day one.

The camera itself looks very cool, with a nice metallic blue being the main color of the camera, as well as having very sleek lines and edges....

Pros: Low price, 4 levels of resolution, EZ to use
Cons: Green light in viewfinder, eats AA batteries

I should start out by telling you that the Agfa 780 is no longer be made, it was replaced by the 780C. That said, from my research there appears to be no difference between the 780 and 780C, so if you find the 780 on closeout somewhere - go for it.

Pros: Low cost, easy to use, pretty good pictures, fine for ebay
Cons: Devours batteries, white out on closeups with flash

Several months back this camera arrived at my workplace. No one was quite sure what to do with it, so I was assigned the task of working with it. We were all quite amazed that it didn't require a roll of film. *G* We were equally delighted to find you...

Pros: Easy to use, fabulous picture quality, lots of features
Cons: Hard on batteries

After wetting my feet in the digital photography realm with an inexpensive Agfa ePhoto Smile, I decided to stick to the same brand and move upwards on the ladder to find a more versatile camera. I chose the 780c because it was still very reasonably...

Pros: Good quality pictures for a low price, great first camera
Cons: Sucks batteries like there's no tomorrow

I bought my 780c in November of 1999. I knew already about issues with battery life with digital cameras in general, so I also bought a set of Kodak NiMH rechargeable batteries. Expensive, but well worth the cost, since I figure they paid for themselves...

Pros: Swell buy for the price,
Cons: Missing zoom, few zippy features

This is a solid non-geek, non-photographer's digital camera. The most impressive part of the ePhoto 780 is the ease of use; this will probably be passed down to my pre-teen brother when new technology beckons.

It's a joy to use; I haven't...

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: short battery life

All right I would like to start off buy saying that I have been looking for a halfway descent, affordable digital camera for awhile now. Most Digital cameras run anywhere from $300 up to $1200. So I was a little skeptical about buying this one for...

Pros: Price
Cons: Slightly dated technology

The Agfa ePhoto 780c digital camera was on sale at a local shop. I have for quite some time wanted to get a camera for two of my kids, and with all the money saved on film plus film development I thought a digital camera would be suitable. The quality of...

Pros: Price, Ease of Use, LCD Monitor
Cons: No Auto-Focus, Weak Flash

This is not only a product, but a company. My first experience with the Agfa 780c was when Agfa sent it to me as a replacement for the 780 that I had accidentally dropped. That camera was over a year old and out of warranty. Nevertheless, the company...

Pros: Good price for resolution and ease of use
Cons: Battery life stinks, flash overexposes closeups, no zoom

-Why did I buy it?
For my parents as a Christmas present

-What was I looking for and how much did I want to spend? I was looking for something that had higher resolution than just640X480 and didn't want to spend more than $200.
...

Pros: No internal memory (uses cards), lightweight, compact, easy to use
Cons: No USB connection

I'm a person who has to totally research products before I buy them. I'll spend literally days doing it. When I was in the market for a digital camera, I was looking for specific features and of course the lowest cost. I needed a simple camera with...

Pros: Very simple to use, software is pretty self explanatory.
Cons: Camera is slow, batteries rattle and delete settings, uses batteries up VERY fast.

I bought this camera as my very first digital camera. I bought it because it was rated on the higher side of customer opinions. It had all the details that I was particular about having. Things like the LCD display on the back so I could view my...

Pros: Wonderful Software Included; Easy-to-Use; Great Picture Quality; Lots of Features; Low Cost
Cons: Battery Life

The AGFA ePhoto 780c is an "InstaMatic-style, point and shoot" camera with lots of "bang for the buck." I purchased this camera through BizRate.com which directed my search to Mercata.com. After all the "new user rebates and...

Pros: Easy to use, great pictures
Cons: Battery hog

Our first digital camera is the Agfa 780. We sell on ebay and got sick of taking pictures with a 35mm buying film, getting it devolped, scanning the pictures them throwing the pictures away. So we started shopping for a camera. WE ran across Agfa's...

Pros: Fantastic value, great images, solid camera, GREAT company, EXCELLENT customer service (read my 5/20/2000 update)
Cons: none
