 Rollei Prego dp4200 digital camera introduction : The Rollei Prego dp4200 is the ideal "camera for all occasions", with technical features to boot! Actually, it's hard to believe how much "contents" you can squeeze into such a tiny package! Rollei are now introducing a powerful, but ultra-compact 4.2 Megapixel digital camera in an especially flat metal body, complete with 3x optical and 3.6x digital zooms plus video and voice-recording options. The Rollei dp4200 digital camera will be available for ? 299 (incl. VAT) from end of August 2004. A mere 125 grams is what the Rollei Prego dp4200 weighs. And its dream measurements are 88.5x54.5x24mm. In other words, it will hitch a hike in just about any pocket.

The Rollei Prego dp4200 will record video clips with 320x240 pixels and 15 frames per second in MPEG1 format (AVI). For brief voice commentaries, there are 30 seconds. A built-in microphone and loudspeaker make it all possible. The 4.2 Megapixel CCD of the Rollei dp4200 makes the best of even larger print sizes than A4. Its 3x zoom lens f/2.8-4.8 covers a range of focal lengths which in 35mm photography are equivalent to about 32.4-97.2 mm. Plus there is a 3.6x digital zoom.
Rollei Prego dp4200 digital camera - Flash settings
A large, 2-inch TFT LCD color monitor and an optical real-image zoom viewfinder make framing very simple and fast. Auto focusing takes care of perfect focus between 0.5 meter and infinity. Even close-ups are easy with the Prego dp4200. Macro focusing is possible within 6 and 50 cm. Most of the camera modes are available on Auto and Manual. For the built-in flash, for example, there are, in addition to the auto modes, "Forced", "Off" and "Red-eye reduction''". For difficult lighting situations, these are manual white-balance presets for "Daylight", "Cloudy", "Tungsten" or "Fluorescent 1 or 2". "Forced", "Off" and "Red-eye-reduction". And exposure can be compensated manually in one-third increments over +/- 2.0 EV.
Rollei Prego dp4200 digital camera - Features
A self-timer with either 2s or 10s delay makes for entertaining group photos. Depending on the intended use and available storage space, you can select image quality from "Fine", "Standard" and "Economy". Using the Economy setting, for example, the possible 515 MB of an SD card can be put to optimum use. And if you wish to obtain even more space, you can transfer your data via the USB or video interfaces (NTSC, PAL) to your computer or TV set.
