Advantages: Price, Easy to use, Good photo quality

Disadvantages: Short battery life, Slow connection to Laptop

I was asked by work to test 5 Digital cameras, One on them was the DC215. The camera was easy to use, and the picture quality very good. The DC215 was the cheapest Digital camera with a compact flash card that I found on the market, so I was very suprised with what I got for my money.

There were a few problems that I encountered and worth taking note of what the camera will be used for.
1. If unprotected in a bag it could turn it's self on and run out of battery.
2. The LCD screen is used after every photo is taken so the battery life is not that long.
3. Changing the batteries lead to the battery compartment coming loose and so loss of power to the camera.(three cameras)
4. Connecting to the laptop was quicker with an adaptor and not with the lead, in order to get your photos from the camera.

All in all with these points in mind if used carefully this camera has proved to be the best value for money.
