5 out of 5 stars Great Camera!.......2003-07-17

This is truly a wonderful little camera.
I do a lot of web design where I aquire all my own images as well as family photos and other such nonsense. This camera offers excellent manual control and also delivers great results using the fully automatic features. Do yourself a favor and use an Epson Photo printer for the best printing results, and get familiar with an image editor like photoshop and the sky is the limit. Appearently the product has been discontinued and I am having a hard time finding optical accessories for it. Awesome!

5 out of 5 stars great digital camera.......2003-04-11

This is my first digital camera. I did some research involving other 3 megapixel cameras including the highly advertised Nikon Coolpix. I found that this camera was just as good and very easy to use. I highly reccommend the 3100z!

5 out of 5 stars Finally settled on the best one!.......2002-07-16

It took me forever to finally settle on a digital camera. I wanted one I wouldn't regreat buying months down the line. And I found it! The 3100Z is a fantastic camera. Simple to use (complex if you want) with great image quality. I had an 8x10 printed by photoaccess.com (I prefer letting online services print my photos), and the quality was superb. The next test is an 11x14. We'll see how that goes. My only complaint is that Epson didn't include the AC adaptor, but that's a minor issue. The battery life is good enough that I haven't even needed it. I can't speak for the software, though. On my Mac (OSX) I just plugged it into the USB port and the OS handled the rest.

I won't write more detail; all the other reviews are fairly dead-on about its features. If you can get this camera, do it. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Epson 3100z is a winner!.......2002-06-16

I love this camera! It is one of the few digitals I have used that actually has an easy-to-understand and LOGICAL setup/menuing system. Further, it just feels "right" in my hands - not too big and not too small.

The rear LCD is clear and bright and the battery life seems reasonable. The instruction book is well written and complete. I also like the hot shoe which allows me to attach an additional flash unit. Many digital cameras with built in flashes suffer from a really short flash range. In other words, these litte built in units are underpowered for shooting at any distance over 3-4 feet. The 3100z's hot shoe solves that problem if you need longer range.

One thing I wish it had was an automatic, built in lens cap. I hate fumbling with the cap but those that are automatic, are really far and few between and tend to be tiny cameras with tiny lens openings.

Finally, the pictures it takes are FANTASTIC but be sure to buy at least a 96mb compact flash card. The camera comes with a 16mb card that holds just 12-15 hi quality images.

You'll like this camera.
