Get the best image quality from your CF- or SD- camera

 

 

Most camera manufactures provides a camera software with a nice colorful GUI but with a poor image quality and a huge memory consumption.

With CECam you get a very lightweight application which gets a much higher image quality from your CF- or SD- camera with up to 1.3MP.
CECam is designed for Windows CE- Pocket- and Handheld PC’s. No additional drivers are required.

Pros and cons of the FlyCAM and Pretec compact cameras:

 

 

FlyCAM pros:

  • More colorful and brighter images than the pretec
  • Exposure control
  • Optionally flashlight

Pretec compact camera pros:

  • Double capture speed of the FlyCAM
  • more compact and robust case

Differences:

  • The FlyCAM captures the images in portrait mode, the Pretec in landscape. This can be rotated with CECam to the desired destination orientation.

Fazit: If you like beautiful colors, buy a FlyCAM. If you need a robust cam, buy a Pretec.
