Amazon.com Product Description
RCA's CDS4100 digital camera is a stylish camera that is packed with features and easy to use. It offers 1.5-megapixel resolution for exceptional color and sharpness. Its precision glass lens system provides fast and accurate automatic focusing from macro (close-up) range to distant shots. A one-button 2x digital zoom gives you a fast, clear close-up shot. With the macro mode you can get shots of flowers or insects from as close as 4 inches.

The CDS4100 provides a full-color, high-resolution TFT LCD screen for instant playback of your photos and accurate framing of your favorite pictures. The built-in flash can be set to automatic or manual to capture low-light action. A preflash mode is provided to reduce the annoying red-eye look.

RCA includes several features found in both 35mm point-and-shoot cameras and camcorders. A 10-second self-timer mode allows the photographer to get in the picture. A sequential shot feature takes nine shots in the blink of an eye so you can catch all the action in progress. For worry-free photography, the CDS4100 can be left in auto mode to automatically adjust to different lighting conditions. You can also manually adjust the exposure for special lighting and background conditions. For artistic flexibility, RCA has included the option to shoot in color, B&W, and sepia modes.

The MGI PhotoSuite software allows you to crop and resize your photos, add captions or color touches, make calendars, or print enlargements. This little digital camera also lets you review your photos from your TV screen with the included video cable--you can create a slide show without the hassle of setting up a projector screen.

The camera includes four Duracell Ultra 2 batteries, PhotoSuite software, camera driver software (for PC and Mac interfaces), PC and Mac serial cables, video cable, an AC adapter, a hand strap, and a carrying case.

1 out of 5 stars Never Buying RCA.......2004-01-13

ITS not just XP guys... its windows 2000 too! Sure you can buy MORE products just to use it, but why? RCA its going to lose A LOT of business on this on!

1 out of 5 stars CAVEAT EMPTOR!.......2003-10-01

RCA has really let the consumer have it on this camera! It works fine on Windows 95 and 98, but you will end up with hours of frustration and difficulty if you happen to upgrade your system to XP. The RCA digital camera tech told me on the phone that the camera and XP are incompatible and I could only run the camera on Windows 98. He said something about buying a flashcard, hooking that up, and then hung up on me. I will never buy another RCA product again as long as I live. Instead of developing a driver to work with XP, they just discontinued the camera. So buyer beware: THIS CAMERA IS CURRENTLY DISCONTINUED AND THERE ARE NO DRIVERS FOR XP. There's a file you can download from RCA that's suppose to update the drivers, but it doesn't work, and there is no one available with RCA to help you figure out how to make it work. Your $200 is better spent elsewhere. Take it from someone who spent $400.

5 out of 5 stars Where There is a will There is a way!.......2003-07-10

I brought Rca cds4100 2 years ago I was using Windows 98 then upgrade to Windows Me my camera worked fine When I want to upgrade to Windows XP at first I could'nt use the camera.
But of course I would find a way. You see when I purchased my camera it came with an compact flash card external reader and I used it so I would'nt have to attach the camera to my computer. Here's the information you are seeking! Take your pictures take out the external flash card and put in the reader and you can use it With Windows XP Because the external reader comes up in Windows XP as a drive as it did in 98 and ME. You click on that drive and all the pictures you have taken are displayed. Now it would'nt work with the 8mb card that came with the camera. So I brought a PNY compact flash card 128mb and it works perfectly. I really never like attaching my camera to the computer anyway so this just made it easier. It works fine with Windows Xp If your like me who spent 400.00 for this camera and I was not giving up that easy.I look at it like this I would have to buy another camera and it only cost me 30.00 for the 128mb compact flash card. So I think I got off cheap.
