DISCUSSION


    Overview
    ========

    Given its many advanced capabilities, you'll probably be surprised to find that working with the Apple QuickTake 200 is strikingly similar to using your favorite traditional camera. But this sophisticated device offers many more ways of communicating with images.

    In fact, this high-performance digital camera provides a wealth of flexible, versatile options for sharing your images with others, such as slide shows, presentations, television viewings, real-time videoconferencing, and even live Internet transmissions. And this advanced digital camera features an extremely compact, lightweight design that makes it easy to take with you virtually anywhere you want to go.

    The QuickTake 200 provides an integrated LCD display that enables you to preview each potential picture easily and accurately. It also offers convenient removable storage capabilities and impressive image quality: It comes with a 2MB SmartMedia storage card that can accommodate as many as 20 high-quality images, 30 standard-quality images, or a combination-with clear 640- by 480- pixel resolution and in more than 16 million colors.

    But the real fun of taking pictures lies in sharing them with others- an area in which the QuickTake 200 truly shines. Of course, you can always simply view your digital images on a computer screen or include them in documents. Or you can enhance your images on a computer, place the results back into the camera, and conveniently show them to friends and colleagues even when you're on the road. Apple's unique Camera Access software makes advanced capabilities such as these not only possible, but simple.

    Perhaps the most appealing quality of the QuickTake 200 is that it provides a complete solution for an entire range of digital imaging functionality. It even comes with a video cable-so, for example, you can use it to show relatives your latest vacation pictures right on their television screen. And the versatile image-capture capabilities of the QuickTake 200 make it an ideal tool to add images to your Internet web site.

    In short, Apple's QuickTake 200 digital camera complements your Mac OS-based computer by offering a wide range of incredibly easy, and enjoyable ways to communicate your ideas visually.
