Description:

With its boxy design, the 2.1-megapixel SiPix SC-2100 is a basic digital camera, but it does pack features rarely found at this low price level. Images from the SC-2100 look crisp and colors seem well balanced in all three selectable resolutions (superfine, fine, and standard). The six-element glass lens produces sharp photos, especially in macro mode. The 2x digital zoom provides closer imaging, but actually displays a smaller, cropped image on the LCD screen when in use.

Although it is a bit on the heavy side, the camera fits well in your hand with a sturdy plastic construction. The back LCD screen is perfectly placed to avoid fingerprints and the optical viewfinder accurately presents the field of view. The secondary LCD displays all relevant information. A control dial on top allows you to adjust between different modes.

The SC-2100 includes a slot for external CompactFlash memory cards, and comes with one 8 MB card. Using the bright 1.8-inch LCD, you can view and delete images in-camera to preserve valuable space on the road. The built-in flash includes a red-eye reduction mode so you won't see any red-eyed devils in your photos. The flash offers four modes: auto, on, off, and red-eye reduction.

Exposure control can be set to automatic or manual in half-step increments with a +/- 2-step compensation. White balance also features automatic and manual settings with daylight, tungsten, and fluorescent adjustments. The 10-second self-timer ensures no one is left out of the picture, while other features include video-out (NTSC and PAL selectable), black-and-white mode, three sharpness levels (sharp, normal, soft), slideshow (3- or 10-second intervals), date/time stamp, and continuous-shot mode for rapid image capture. SiPix's warranty covers this camera for one year, parts and labor.
