Pictures are later transferred to any Mac or PC computer at up to 1600 x 1200 resolution. Because images are not compressed, they retain their high quality even when enlarged to 8x10. Each image is automatically "stamped" with the date and time and optionally labeled with letters or numbers. Pictures can be deleted one at a time or all at once. In features and operation, the PDC-2000 resembles a compact 35mm point-and-shoot camera.
