Dear COA Members:
I wrote one article for American Conchologis on digital photography of
shells. Since that time I have periodically been asked my opinion about
what handheld digital camera to buy. When I wrote the article, I did not
own one and was using digital video equipment. Since that time I have
purchased a handheld digital camera. I do not use this camera for
general snapshots of scenery and people, but I do use it to take closeup
pictures of mollusks.
The camera I chose was the Agfa ePhoto 1280. I am satisfied with its
performance, within the current limitations of consumer digital cameras.
The closeup pictures I obtain with this camera are of adequate resolution
and can be digitally manipulated to produce sharp 800 X 600 pixel
pictures. Do not expect the camera to produce the resolution of a good
35mm camera! None of the current consumer handheld digital cameras can.
To view some photos of Jamaican mollusks and to view the EPhoto
specifications, set your web browser for:

Best, Ross
