Summary: Best Digital Camera Yet
Review: Easy to use, easy to understand, great pictures. Get a 128MB viking memory card and you can shoot all day. Use the 46-49mm adapter (supplied) and buy an inexpensive 49mm UV filter and Clip on lens cap at a local photo store to protect your lens. Some of the reviews speak of the weight of the camera...I'm not sure why they're complaining. The camera is very light and easy to hold.

Summary: Epson Photo PC 3000Z Digital Camera
Review: 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.

Summary: Lived up to all expectations.
Review: I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the Epson 3000z, a camera that has lived up to all my expectations. I also purchased a Sandisk 128MB compact flash card to increase capacity, although the camera does come with a very generous 16MB card. The feature that sealed the deal for me is the hotshoe which allows for the mounting of a more powerful secondary flash, an absolute must if you do a lot of indoor shooting.

The camera is attractive, functional, and fits like a glove. It is incredibly simple to operate and the owner manual is clear and concise. I recommend the Epson 3000z unconditionally.

Summary: I saw and knew I wanted it.
Review: 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.........

Summary: A camera to grow with
Review: 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.

Summary: Epson photo PC 3000Z review
Review: I looked at all the reviews and I bought the PC 3000Z. I enjoy everything about the camera. I have an epson photo pc 750Z, but I wanted a megapixel level camera to work with. From the features of the camera to the finished prints that come from the epson 750 inkjet printer, I really enjoy the control and quality from start to finish. This megapixel camera is great. For most applications it equals my 35mm camera. I heard it can eat batteries, but I have not had that experience with mine.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It doesn't add up!
Review: I paid an exorbitant amount of money, i recieved an Epson Photo PC 3000Z. this camera had a very cool appearance. as i read the manual, I felt I bought a very good camera with a lot of special options. like a catalog, where there are thumbnails of your images. But, the images were not very clear. kind of fuzzy and dark. the quality was very poor. Although this camera was decent, it is not worth this high price. if the price went down it would be 4star. if the controls were easier to use and the pictures clearer, it would be 5star.

Summary: Terrific camera, but.....
Review: 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.
