 Digital Camera
Announcing the Epson Photo PC3000Z 3.3 Megapixel digital camera. This new
camera is available for Departmental use by making a reservation on the
Calcium Calendar.
In the past, when using the Kodak camera, you would need to take the pics then
return the camera to us to download the pics for you. This was both time
consuming and frustrating for the user since we couldn't always do it right
then and you would need to wait a day or two. When checking out the Epson camera
you will be given one (1) 32Mb Compact Flash card and a charged set of 4 AA
batteries.
We currently have two (2) 32Mb flash cards and one (1) 16Mb flash card. We
encourage groups that find themselves using this camera often to purchase their
own flash card. These can be purchased for about $70-$90, depending on size,
from any computer retailer.
