Product Description

Its 1.31 megapixel CCD allows you to capture crisp, clear images to view immediately or save for later. It's the perfect entry-level camera for those looking to go digital.The 1.31 megapixel CCD is perfect for capturing images to e-mail to friends and family, or for making prints up to 5x7 inches in size. The EI-100 captures quality images with its 5.5mm lens (equivalent to 42mm in 35mm format). The digital zoom function offers 2X shooting. As easy to operate as a conventional compact camera, the EI-100 incorporates convenient auto features and selectable modes that enable excellent results in almost any shooting condition. A built-in self-timer delays the shutter release by 10 seconds, allowing the photographer to join family or friends for memorable pictures.

A red-eye reduction mode is also provided with a single pre-emission discharge. The easy-to-view 1.8-inch LCD monitor allows you to quickly review your pictures. Simple controls provide quick playback of stored images by frame (with 4X magnification), slide show or thumbnail format. The built-in 8MB of memory is capable of storing up to 17 images at the highest quality resolution. The EI-100 is compatible with USB and CompactFlash for connectivity and added convenience. The camera provides the ability to transfer images from the internal memory to a CompactFlash card for removable storage. Its five white balance modes (Auto, Daylight, Shade, Tungsten Light and Fluorescent Light) provide the creative means to express light in its intended colors. The EI-100 uses four easy-to-find AA batteries.

Customer Reviews

Bright Bright Day Camera
Camera needs a _LOT_ of light , anything dusk-ie or indoor and things get very noisy (I guess as it tries to compensate for low light)

Pictures sometime have a bright 1 pixel horizontal line at the very bottom of the image or a dark line about 8 pixels from the top 8 pixels high.

Images are also "washed out" and something bright objects seems to bleed (making a halo like effect) , I don't know if it's due to poor focus of the CCD.

A real value for the money!
There is alot going for this little camera but don't expect it to jump through windows and outrun a train. This camera is probably one of the best non-junk starter digital cameras out there that does a very decent job. (...) This camera is an ergonmoically well thought out point and shoot camera. (...) This camera is perfect for 4x6 prints. It is simple, refreshes quickly -so you don't have to wait forever to take another picture - and uses inexpensive compact flash. (...)This is an excellent emergency digital camera, a great outdoor party camera , a camera perfect for kids, great for the technologically challenged, easy for grandma and in general a very good value for the money. I bought five and use them for business and family gatherings. When using with SNAPFISH, KODAK or SIMPLEPIX digital print services it works like a charm.

Best deal for the money!
I just bought this camera and after the (dollar amount) reabate, I only paid (dollar amount)! It is not the best camera out there, but for (dollar amount) bucks, you can't beat it! It has many different features including auto flash, white balance, ev compensation, and red eye reduction. This camera has a 1.8" LCD that lets you view the picture instantly. It has 8mb internal memory as well as a slot for adding external memory. The only problem I see with it is that it doesn't take great pictures in the dark. They seem a bit dusty. Overall, I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone buying a digital camera for the first time, or anyone who wants a camera to email pictures...It is truly a great buy!
