hyunyu Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Never heard of it. One thing right off the bat--it's not a 8 megapixel camera, it's a 4 megapixel camera. Interpolation means that the computer chip inside the camera tries to add details to the image once it's captures, basically by guestimating.

mtwhite Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 <p>8 megapixels <i>interpolated</i>? That sounds dire. Sounds like it's actually 4 megapixels, and probably a very noisy 4 megapixels at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_elek Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 In general, you'll be better off by purchasing a digital camera made by one of the major manufacturers: Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Minolta, Fuji, Panasonic, Casio, etc. "Will Not Last Long AT This unheard of Price. Try to Beat This Deal." And language such as this is a warning sign that you should definitely avoid this product. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan_james Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I know that this is a bit late, but it happens to look like a rebadged Praktica luxmedia 4008, for what that's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
