Pretty pictures from a pretty camera

by dianalynnxk , May 20 '00
Pros: Great picture quality, swivel lens, many options
Cons: Can only hold so many options, the software is lacking in options
I have wanted a digital camera for a very long time, and after looking for a very long time, I came to the conclusion that this one was the best I could get. They were selling the Agfa ePhoto 1280 at Costco Online for much cheaper than other cameras of...

Great camera

by orioles35 , Nov 20 '02
Pros: Digital is where it's at...down with developing film!
Cons: Eats...no, GULPS batteries
As with most electronic devices, digital cameras will continue to come out with newer and greater models. There are higher pixel cameras on the market that have more memory, but for the price this camera does an excellent job.

Agfa Forever!

by benekefamily , Feb 08 '00
Pros: Price, Over all Performance, Zoom Feature
Cons: Low light photography, blinding flash
The Agfa 1280 is the perfect camera for the beginner or the professional. As a matter of fact, a Doctor who was s-o-o-o pleased with the quality of Agfa Medical Imaging, recommend the 1280 to me. He was so enthused about his 1280, that he couldn't...

..The Rest of the Story

by mlaleks , Dec 23 '99
Pros: No Extras to Buy, Very Flexible, High Quality Images, Good Software
Cons: No Optical Viewfinder, No Carry Case
I purchased an Agfa Ephoto 1280 about one year ago and have to say I have been quite impressed, enough so that I have taken in excess of 3,200 pictures with this camera and have almost shelved my normal 35mm cameras(including my good old slr).

A Great Camera for a Great Price!

by linux_b0y , Mar 24 '00
Pros: clear, srisp picture, durable camera, good desing, nice features
Cons: a little expensive, but it's worth it
In all, this is an excellent camera. The features and picture quality far outweigh the speed, which I see as the camera's only real shortcoming. Agfa even includes a charger and a set of NiMh batteries with the camera. I bought this camera for $330...

Excellent Picture quality, software needs improvement

by philippevd , Dec 22 '99
Pros: Image quality, price, video link
Cons: Case design, included software
As a beta tester of digital cameras at Agfa, I found the 1280 to be the best in their low-price range. The agfa e-photo 1280 is an excellent machine, but it has a few shortcomings.

The first positive thing that struck me about this camera was...

Very User Friendly

by screamingdaisy , Jan 06 '00
Pros: Comes with software, good price, excellent pictures.
Cons: I haven't discovered any!
Working in the camera business, both in sales and also a photographer, I would have to give the Agfa 1280, 2 thumbs up! Not only is the resolution the highest for the money, it is the most user friendly camera you will find on the market today....

Agfa ePhoto 1280: good price/quality compromise

by tikko , Sep 15 '99
Pros: Good image quality, 3x optical zoom, macro mode, inexpensive
Cons: Awkward ergonomics, no optical viewfinder, short battery life, slow, gets hot
The Agfa ePhoto 1280, possibly a discontinued model, has been selling recently for under $300. As of the summer of 1999, this is a very good price for the features you get.

I was looking for the best price for a digital camera with the...

Agfa ePhoto 1280

by judyblake , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Agfa quality in a small box, great for table top and tests
Cons: Memory too small, slow charge between shots.
Good easy to use point and shoot camera.

The resolution was fine to print a better than ok 8 x 10. Much better than what is needed for web work.

It can be tethered to a computer and the images immediately stored into the hard...

Under $300.00!?

by ibacon , Dec 11 '99
Pros: Simple, Flexable, Reliable
Cons: Slow, high battery consumption rate.
When I purchased my 1280 nearly two years ago, it was going for around $800.00. I purchased it on the basis of considerable research which indicated that it would easily produce high quality images in the hands of a fool, yet it has features which will...

Bang for the buck

by Brewdawgz , Nov 24 '99
Pros: intuitive, user friendly
Cons: power runs out before pictures do
The Agfa e1280 is a very versatile amateur camera and I do stress the word amateur I have noticed some people trying to compare this camera to pro models which is unfair it would be like comparing a VW bug to a Ferrari sure both are cars but both were...

well rounded camera

by gmoore , Dec 14 '99
Pros: battery life, download speed
Cons: image size and quality
I actually bought mine when it was still Agfa's number two camera and at that time is price point for quality was hard to match, much less beat. But these days I am starting to question the camera's useful life. By alot of standards it is still quite an...

Afga 1280 ~ A little click will do ya!

by susidee34 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 09 '00
Pros: Clear pics
Cons: That little on/off switch sucks
After struggling for years to use up that last two or three shots on the roll of film I discovered the digital camera world while visiting my cousin in Hawaii. She has some old clunker that probably costs a fortune but she needs it in her work as a...

Agfa 1280 Great 1st digital camera

by zteacher5 , Apr 19 '02
Pros: Easy to use, economical!
Cons: East batteries! On-off switch too easy to maneuver.
I enjoyed this as a first digital camera. Anyone who decides to buy this one needs to also get a FlashPath disk so that your computer can read the mini-photo-disk used by the camera. Or get one of those USB mini-disk readers. You will also need a...
