Amazon.com Product Description

The Epson PhotoPC 3000Z provides you with all the tools you need to create memorable, lasting images. Picture quality is superb--with Epson's proprietary HyPict interpolation/compression scheme, the camera's already impressive 2,048 x 1,536 (3.3-megapixel) resolution is bumped up to 2,544 x 1,904 (4.8 megapixels). The 3000Z can store images in uncompressed TIFF format, and features three levels of JPEG compression. The 3x optical zoom takes you right into the action, helping you to capture great close-ups.

The camera has shooting modes for a wide variety of situations. Macro mode allows extreme close-up photography, from 2.4 to 20 inches. The continuous shooting mode enables you to take pictures at 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 frames per second for 41, 7, and 3 consecutive shots (depending upon image quality). In interval shooting mode, the camera wakes to take shots at a user-specified interval between 10 seconds and 24 hours and then goes back to sleep. The 3000Z also offers a movie mode, which records up to 25 seconds of 15 fps 320 x 240 video as a QuickTime movie.

Most of the camera's settings are manually adjustable, from shutter speed and aperture to exposure compensation and white balance. Focus is one of the few functions that can't be set manually.

You can view your images on a television using the video port and included cable. The 3000Z also comes with a selection of software for downloading images to your computer, and for performing image manipulation and touch-up work. Also included in the box are a 16 MB CompactFlash card, serial and USB cables, video cable, lens cap, strap, soft case, lens adapter, neck strap, user's guide, four Epson AA rechargeable NiMH batteries, and charger.

Learn it and love it!.......2002-05-12

What a great camera! Printing 5x7s and 8X10s on an Epson stylus has been awesome! The biggest challenge here has been finding the right photo paper. The 10 second sound bytes make for a fun slide show with either live or dubbed in sound. The auto settings take excellent photos with a steady hand (like with most cameras). The flash even takes excellent photos at night, as long as the subject is close enough. Its easy to hold and focus's nice with a slight depression followed by the snap shot. I use the sports mode a lot. The indoor sports shots always turn out great, but would recommend the 2X telephoto lense for awesome shots. I store my photos on a disc and print out maybe 10 out of 36 for display or photo albums. the USB port for iMac with the Image expert program is easy to use with the 3000Z. Winter photos seem to get more red eye, which can always be dealt with.

A camera to grow with.......2001-12-15

I have about a years worth of use out of my PC 3000Z. No problems and the pictures are fantastic! This camera will do much more than the mortal photo shooter. I print a lot of 8x10 pictures and you would NOT know the differance from mine and the local photo lab.

Epson Photo PC 3000Z Digital Camera.......2001-10-31

Having moved up from the 750Z, which I dragged around the world and aged to failure in a year (OK for the way I handle cameras), the 3000Z was a big step up in terms of resolution (that's all the editors want). The camera fits nicely in the hand, and the controls are better located than the 750Z. The programming screens are handy, and the branching decisions for setting variables is easier to follow than the picture icons of the 750Z. The flashcard slot is way better designed. And now you can add 49mm lens features like a UV filter.

Complaints? The carry bag is useless. The USB connecting port is awful .. a rubber flap. I really miss the sun-flap to view the video screen in bright sunlight. Without it, it's impossible to use on brilliant days .. the screen becomes a mirror. Perhaps the biggest complaint is that Epson hasn't increased the start-up speed: the camera seems to take forever to set up for the first photo. I've missed so many shots by having to wait that critical 4-5 seconds before the green LED flashes "ready". And when taking pics, the time to take a shot varies from fractions of a second to several seconds (when the subject has long gone).

Overall, still my favorite digital camera. Awesome color reproduction and density. Light, small, fits the hand. Just, please, make it faster.

Terrific camera, but............2001-08-06

I'm a life-long 35 mm camera buff, with a full spectrum of lenses, filters etc. I'm thrilled with the 3000Z, especially the resolution. I've printed hundreds of 8 x 10's on my HP1215, all with fantastic results. I've ordered some as 11 x 14's from EZprints.com, and the resolution is outstanding, much to my surprise. Good news is, it's small, so I take it with me when skiing, hiking etc., whereas I never bothered to lug my 35 around. Battery life is excellent. Buy a 128 mb flashcard, and you'll never run out of "film." Only problem: it's metering is only fair, so it often overexposes in bright sunlight. Get one anyway. It's a wonderful camera, and your friends will think you're a brilliant photographer.

I saw and knew I wanted it........2001-01-24

I have a new HP Photosmart 1218 printer and have been looking for a great digital camera to team up with it. At my sons birthday party, I noticed a guest quietly shooting pictures with the Epson 3000Z. A day later I got an E-Mail from him with the download for the pics he took at the party. They came across at 75 DPI and I juiced them to 600 DPI and printed them. At first I thought that the picture quality would be poor because it came over the internet and I juiced the DPI from 75, but the pictures were amazing! I couldn't even imagin them looking any better. If the pics were this great downloaded from a low level DPI, what would original shots look like at higher resoulution? You will absoultly freak out, that's how! Don't buy any other camera until you check this one out. I'm glad I saw this camera being used because I may not even have considered it. What a mistake that would have been. Don't miss this one.........

Decent LCD Monitor.......2003-05-14

I like this monitor a lot it comes with some nice software that allows you to tweak its settings until the picture is just right. It's viewable in direct sunlight and movement is clear and easy to see. I wouldn't suggest using this to play any 3d games however 2d games far reasonably well on it.

Love this remote!.......2007-08-10

For this price, you can't really go wrong with anything.

This remote works better than I thought and I like the button on it too. My son keeps on dropping it and banging the remote, so some of the buttons does not work anymore. Ordering my second one.

Sometimes, it gets out of sync, but you only need to remember your tv mode. I am using it with the panasonic tv, and it works great!

I am well pleased with the product and the company. The product came days before I expected it.

I actually bought this at a local store. It works but every once in awhile, the remote will reset and I'd have to get out the book to re-enter the code for my tv. There's no explanation as to why but I am getting pretty tired of resetting the remote. Maybe be cheap but it doesn't work. :(

Oh, there's my desk.......2001-06-25

I was previously using a 21" CRT at my home office. Although it had plenty of real estate, the footprint was about 1.5' x 2'. Frankly, I'm surprised that the desk could support the weight! The NEC was a welcome replacement. It arrived while I was at work one day. My wife (who has little computer hardware experience) unpacked and installed it in only a few minutes. The picture is clear and the actual viewable size is more like a 17" CRT than a 15". We are very happy with the quality of this monitor as well as the regained desk space.

Amazon.com Product Description

Some monitors are serious workhorses, some are frilly playboys, and some, like the SDM-HX73, strike exactly the right balance. Supplying digital and analog data transfer (and including the necessary cables for both), you'll find all your images improved, from family movies to complex video games and web sites, thanks to vividly contrasting colors, smooth video transfer, and impressively fast response.

The monitor also does an excellent job with serious tasks. A native resolution of 1,280 x 1,024, fine 0.264 mm dot pitch, 500:1 contrast ratio, and 400 nits of brightness work together behind the scenes to provide cleanly legible graphics and text that will keep you reading comfortably for hours. Sony's optimization technology automatically adjusts the screen to varying lighting conditions, while Automatic ImageSet keeps the display set precisely the way you like it.

A softly curved base and shimmering frame create a subtle backdrop, outlining the display without detracting from the work at hand. Sony backs the display with a three-year warranty covering parts, labor, and backlight.

Better than expected.......2004-05-30

Just got this monitor along with my new HP m470n Media Center PC. Works great!! My previous was a Philips 17" CRT. There were no dead pixels, and the clarity is great. Very bright and clear images.

Make sure you install the drivers from the CD, and in particular, go through the display optimization steps for both Media Center as well as on the Sony CD itself. Otherwise the factory default settings may not get it right. I also found that the TV picture is clearest when it takes up one quadrant of the screen; otherwise you need to move back further.

Net/net I am very happy with the monitor.

Excellent - for what it is.......2004-02-29

I tested this monitor using its DVI-D input connected to my PNY GeForce FX5900 128MB Graphics Card's DVI-D output. The presentation was bright and clean, although my unit had one dead pixel in the lower right quadrant. It was most noticeable on a pure white background. From what I have read, this problem with one or more dead pixels is quite common with all LCD monitors, so it's truly the luck of the draw to get a screen that doesn't have at least one. However, while it may be considered "normal", it is simply unacceptable to expect people to put up with such glaring flaws when shelling out this kind of $.

This is a beautiful monitor, aesthetically speaking, and the set up was virtually plug and play on my Windows XP Pro-based system. The controls include one-touch presets for different viewing modes (gaming, pc, video). I found that it was wonderful on strictly computer-based images (i.e., gaming, where its 16ms response time meant no blurring of moving images), text (although there was some lack of clarity with smaller fonts when running it at its recommended native resolution of 1280x1024), web surfing, etc. However, the rendering of high-quality graphics and DVD movie playback is similar to all LCD monitors, i.e., flat, lacking in detail and incapable of rendering accurate color - in other words, far inferior to a high quality CRT.

In spite of the fact that most computer stores are selling (pushing, actually) almost nothing but LCD monitors, they are simply inferior to CRTs for rendering accurate color, detail in high quality graphics and DVD movie playback.

For this reason, I returned it for a refund. I will instead purchase the new 22" IBM ThinkVision C220p CRT, which is listed by IBM on their website at $589. It is the top IBM CRT (Trinitron-based). Per IBM: "...the C220p is best suited for professional graphics applications such as CAD/CAM/CAE, desktop publishing, web design, digital content creation, video editing and high-definition image manipulation..." Basically it should blow away this or any other LCD monitor for reproduction of high quality graphics and DVD movie playback - not to mention IBM's 3-year Rapid-replacement warranty. They'll ship another one to you and take the defective one and even pay the shipping! I guess you don't get to be IBM by jerking people around on defective merchandise. Try getting the same deal from Sony. Yeah, right.

Given the caveats, only you can decide if the Sony SDM-HX73 monitor will fill your needs.
