Epson's compact L500V digital camera offers a 5-megapixel resolution for brilliant, crystal-clear enlargements and a 3x optical and 4x digital zoom. The L500V also boasts exclusive features based on Epson's long-time background in printing, including direct printing to select Epson printers and the ability to add a digital frame to a photo--right from the camera.
The L500V has three resolution modes: 2560 x 1920 (5 MP), 1600 x 1200 (2 MP), and 640 x 480 (VGA) pixels. Additionally, the L500V can capture up to 30-second video clips (with sound) at 30 frames per second and at three resolution settings: 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and 160 x 120 pixels. With the built-in microphone, you can record up to 30-second voice messages. The L500V stores images on Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards.
Review captured images on the large, bright 2.5-inch low-temperature poly-silicon TFT LCD, which features a 200K-pixel resolution and supports instant preview, playback of videos, the ability to delete images and videos, and a slide show feature.
The Epson L500V incorporates a new creative feature, Print Image Framer (P.I.F.), which is specifically designed to work with select Epson Stylus Photo printers and the PictureMate personal photo lab. It gives you the ability to add a frame to any image simply by pressing the P.I.F. button on the back of the camera. Frames will not affect the original image and they can be added without having to connect to a computer. It's as easy as selecting a frame design from a selection of over 100 frames and choosing a photo. Frames can even be chosen before a photo is taken. You can also design your own frames using the included Print Image Framer Designer software as well as personalize existing frames, and upload them to the L500V.
