DXG 5.1 Megapixel Digital Camera. ALLOWS SUPER SIZE ENLARGEMENTS. |

| BELOW IS A STANDARD VGA PICTURE SO AS TO ILLUSTRATE THE SIZE AND QUALITY ON THE LOWEST RESOLUTION. THE PHOTO SIZE IS 640 WIDE AND AS YOU SEE THE QUALITY IS VERY GOOD. THE DXG 528 ALSO HAS 3 MODES OF QUALITY TO GO WITH EACH SIZE THAT IS DETERMINED BY THE MEGAPIXEL SIZE THAT YOU DESIRE. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU ARE TAKING PHOTOS OF ITEMS TO GO ON THE INTERNET WEB PAGES THAT THE LOWEST RESOLUTION WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY SETTING GIVE YOU A PHOTO THAT LOOKS GOOD AND LOADS FAST OVER THE INTERNET | ||||||||||||||||

as you can see the low resolution photos are even great! THIS WAS A LOW RESOLUTION PHOTO THAT IS THE TYPICAL QUALITY YOU WOULD USE ON A WEBPAGE. FILE SIZE WAS 112K. AFTER SAVING IT IN FRONTPAGE IT BECAME A 50K FILE. PICTURES CAN BE TIME STAMPED AS YOU SEE ABOVE. |

I USED UP THE 2 ALKALINE BATTERIES INCLUDED JUST SETTING UP DIFFERENT
THINGS IN THE USER SELECTABLE MENU. 3 FLASH COMBINATIONS ARE
AVAILABLE EVEN IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE, ALSO KNOWN AS THE POINT AND SHOOT
MODE. TO START THE FLASH YOU JUST PUSH
 THE
JOY STICK TO THE LEFT. WITH SUCCESSIVE LEFT JOY STICK MOVEMENT, THE
FLASH MODE CHANGES FROM AUTOMATIC, TO FLASH ON, TO RED EYE REDUCTION.
THE CAMERA HAS A TRUE JOT STICK, NOT A BUTTON THAT IF YOU HAVE FAT
FINGERS LIKE ME THAT SOMETIMES GIVES THE CAMERA THE WRONG INSTRUCTIONS.
JOY STICK DOWN GIVES YOU MACRO MODE. JOY STICK RIGHT TURNS ON THE SELF
TIMER SO YOU CAN GET INTO THE PHOTO. |

| I ALWAYS USE NI METAL RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. THEY GIVE YOU MORE PICTURES PER BATTERY CHARGE THAN ALKALINE BATTERIES. THE 2000 MAH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES I WAS USING, TOOK 161 PICTURES WITH THE FLASH ON AND 13 WITH THE FLASH OFF, AND I REVIEWED THE PHOTOS A COUPLE OF TIME IN THE DGX 528 LARGE 2.4 INCH COLOR VIEWER ON THE CAMERA. I WAS MORE THAN SATISFIED WITH THE BATTERY LIFE. I TOOK ALL THE PICTURES WITH THE COLOR DISPLAY ON. TO CONSERVE BATTERY TIME YOU COULD TURN THE COLOR VIEWER OFF. | ||||||||||||||||

| ENJOY READING THE FOLLOWING REVIEWS ON DIFFERENT FEATURES OF THIS FINE LITTLE CAMERA. I WILL CONTINUE TO ADD MORE ITEMS AS I USE IT ON A DAILY BASIS. Jim Baudo | ||||||||||||||||
