Yup. It also has a good range of filters to improve an image. Of course,
Photoshop, like most applications has to be set to always save at 100% to avoid
image degradation in a jpg. Photoshop does a pretty good job of compensating
for my lousy camera technique :)
BTW, I tried to find out what the settings were on the 81 last night, but my
wife had fled with the camera 'ere I eve approached the house. She takes that
thing everywhere... Also, the instructions weren't much help, they only come
in German and French (?!?!?) My French isn't that great, but I did figure out
that it will take a single shot of bmp per disk, at 640x480. no indication of
color depth, though.
One thing I did notice, although I haven't played with it, so I don't know if
it makes a difference or if it's just a salesman tool, is that the camera grabs
the whole image in a single pass, not multiple scans. Sony says this makes for
a sharper image, but again, I haven't played with it yet. (hmm, maybe I'll
sneak it off to work someday...)
