I do like the Epson PhotoPC 850Z but I would only buy one second hand. I like the chunky fell of it, it's easy to hold and easy to use the controls are spaced out and it is by no means fiddly. I like the quality of the snaps as long as you bear in mind certain things. Theis is not a camera for zoom use, I was singularly unimpressed with pictures through the zoom.

Bought the Epson 850Z digital camera over a year ago, when it was almost $700. Will not pay that kind of money today. Would not recommend today, because today would buy a Nikon Coolpix 775 or a Canon digital camera. (read more)

Overall, as with most other users, I find it a comfortable & easy to use camera and picture/colour results very good.

Bought the Epson 850Z after reading an enthusiastic review and have never looked back. Very comfortable camera to hold, robust and the two manuals are very informative and comprehensive.

The Epson 850Z is very much a good enthusiasts camera, a good way to get into digital photography. Allows you to mess about with all settings manually, just like a decent SLR.
Good user options e.g. External Flash mount, add on lenses make this an excellent buy for established camera users getting into Digital.

I bought this camera mid july 2000 and it has been an excellent buy. The image quality is top notch. It is a mid-range camera with professional features. It includes Rechargeable batteries and charger which becomes very handy. It's very simple to set-up and connect to a PC using a USB connection. The design and feel of the camera are aimed at more serious digital camera users. (read more)
