Description
Pretec DC1500 is one of the most incredible digital cameras with 1.5 Mega pixels CCD, 1360x1024 picture size with optical viewfinder and 2 times digital zoom plus auto focus. It supports CompactFlash card storage and has RS232 and TV connectivity. The users also can make sequent picture shooting for moving objects.Pretec DC-1500 allows both Windows 95/98 and Macintosh users to view photos instantly with the 2" color LCD screen. View the images from TV or computer monitor is as simple as ABC Upload pictures to the web, e-mail images and print-out high quality pictures... It provides excellent cost effectiveness for both computer and photo users.
The DC-1500 is Pretec's first megapixel camera. With its 1.5-megapixel progressive-scan CCD, it captures pictures at resolutions of 1,360 x 1,024 for high-quality printed images at sizes up to 5 by 7 inches. The camera lacks an optical zoom, but a 2x digital zoom makes up somewhat for this deficiency. A 10-second self-timer lets you become part of the action, and a multimode flash expands your shooting opportunities. The camera stores images on standard CompactFlash cards (an 8 MB card is included). The DC-1500 has a 2-inch LCD monitor to preview the photos you've taken, or to frame your shots, which can also be done with the optical viewfinder. There is a serial port for downloading images to a computer, as well as a video-out, to view your pictures on a television. Images are stored on CompactFlash cards. For Windows users, MGI PhotoSuite is included for image manipulation and touchup. The DC-1500 uses four AA batteries.

I bought this camera last month, and I had alot of fun with it. The picture is so rich and clear, it it even better than some the canon digital camera...my friend has. It is compatible with mac os... Overall, I give 5 starts for this digital camera.
pictures are so clear, and it has so many features

I must say I love this camera. The camera is enough for daily uses, and it is just like a professional camera with spending less money. The best is it takes excellent pictures comparing to my previous Sony fd-91(cost me $900 2 years ago). Yet the features are most likely with the sony I have. The macro pic is also excellent. I am very happy with this camera than the sony I have. I saved a lot of money!
NOT compatible with Mac OS
[ Posted: 2001-01-16 ]
I bought this camera believing the manufacturers' marketing information that it is compatible with the Mac OS. Pretec has now admitted that the Mac drivers for the DC-1500 have not been released, and that there are no plans to release them. DON'T BUY FROM MANUFACTURERS THAT MISREPRESENT THE CAPABILITIES OF THEIR PRODUCTS! If they misrepresent something as basic as this, then how can any other product claims be believed?
