==== ADC Achiever Digital [[Camera]] ==== ADC-100 , ADC-65 @ http://www.achiever.com.hk/ ADC 65 & ADC 100 are similar product that works over ParPort or SeriaL And it seems that sserpent use it through serial port (mine is a parallel), so a adapater can make his driver usable. ==== Specs: ==== http://www.achiever.com.hk/Product/Digital%20Camera/adc65.htm Specifications Model : ADC - 65 ADC - 100 * Image Sensor Progressive scan 256 x 256 (65.5 kilo)pixels CMOS Progressive 320 x 240 (78.8 kilo) pixels CMOS Resolution Resoution 256 x 256 square pixels (software enhance to 512 x 512 ) 320 x 240 square pixels (software enhance to 640 x 480 ) * Storage Capacity 15 images 7 images Optical Viewfinder Yes Lens F2.5 w/IR coating Color 8-bits levels per RGB (RED, GREEN,Blue) channel hardware, 24-bit colors software Auto Exposure Yes Power Low LED Indicator Yes Memory 8Mbits DRAM MemoryFull Warning Signal 5 long beeps Photo Capture Signal 2 Short beeps * Battery Life 500photos capture and download (standby mode for 3 weeks) * Capture Speed 0.2sec * PC interface parallel port / Serial port (optional for ADC-65) Cable Included Downloading Time to PC 6/sec / image * Power Supply 4AAA battery (alkaline batteries suggest, not included) DC Power Jack No Size 8.1cm x 5.6 cm x 2.6cm Weight 45.1g (not including battery) Slide Battery Door Yes * Software(Optional) (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese) ArcSoft PhotoBase - Photo album software with dowloading feature and auto white balance ArcSoft PhotoStudio - Photo editing software .

The light exposure is an important factor too. I get around 1:5 good pictures' ratio. But the major annoying problem is that it is powered by 4 A3 battery ...and there is not ROM memory. http://www.achievercam.com.hk/ Compact in size and lightweight 256 x 256 CMOS sensor and have 15 images storage capacity (8 for my model) *4 software: ~ ArcSoft PhotoBase ~ ArcSoft PhotoStudio ~ ArcSoft Photo Fantasy ~ Arcsoft Photo Printer *International DRAM Memory allows fast capture refreshing time and fast retrieving time while downloading *Output images are ideal for printing to stickers or outputting as a credit-sized clipart *Packaging-Clamshell with the camera, cable and CD rom And I was wondering if we can use it as a webcam (very low rate ...but continuous) ? And I did not figure how to use it under linux. Is the only driver for linux is that one ? http://www.psnw.com/~smokeserpent/code/ (The 1.0 miss the configure script) And it seems that sserpent use it through serial port, so a adapater can make his driver usable. http://www.psnw.com/~smokeserpent/code/adc65.curve # GIMP Curves File 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 80 -1 78 -1 140 -1 127 -1 178 132 146 -1 194 -1 197 -1 199 -1 199 -1 215 -1 214 -1 -1 255 255 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 79 -1 60 -1 75 -1 91 -1 113 -1 113 -1 113 177 159 -1 159 -1 178 -1 173 -1 179 255 255 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 100 -1 103 96 109 -1 108 -1 142 -1 142 -1 139 -1 129 -1 114 -1 198 -1 210 -1 218 255 255 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 141 139 177 -1 180 -1 162 -1 160 -1 215 -1 -1 -1 -1 255 255 0 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 255 255 * http://www.gphoto.org/ ==== MORE ==== @TaG [[Hardware]] [[Camera]] [[Driver]] [[parport]] {{img|http://www.achiever.com.hk/Product/Digital%20Camera/BG(Page2).jpg?nocache}}
