    PC EXPO/TECHXNY, NEW YORK, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SiPix, Inc.,
The Digital Imaging Appliance Company, today announced the SP-1300
Shoot & Share 1.3 Mega Pixel digital camera.  The SP-1300 connects directly to
the SiPix PocketColor 200 for instant printing of digital photographs, without
the need for a PC, creating a truly portable digital darkroom.  The camera
will be available in July for a suggested retail price of $179.

    "The SP-1300 offers a good value for consumers," said Michelle Lampmann,
market research analyst, digital photography trends at InfoTrends Research
Group, Inc.  "Using the SP-1300 and the SiPix PocketColor 200 printer, users
can easily print and share their digital photos in the home or office and on
the go."
    An evolution in design and functionality, the camera not only prints
directly on the go, but it also comes with many features usually found on
expensive digital cameras.  This includes a 1.8-inch LCD display, a 2x digital
zoom, a manual exposure compensation button, special effects including a
Black and White and a Sepia mode, 4 megabytes of internal memory, a
CompactFlash slot, red-eye reduction, a dual mode self timer and is Direct
Print Order Format (DPOF) compliant.
    In addition, the SP-1300 includes the SiPix USB Mass Storage feature that
allows users direct access to the images stored on their camera.
Traditionally, the TWAIN interface has required a series of steps needed to
gain access to the images.  Now, Windows 98, 98SE, 2000 and ME users can use
their camera like a hard drive.  They can quickly transfer images from the
SP-1300 to their computer without the need of a third party TWAIN application.
    The SP-1300 offers one button instant printing when connected to the SiPix
PocketColor 200.  The PocketColor 200 is available separately for $179.  The
SiPix printer uses an advanced thermal color transfer method to create vivid
2-inch by 2.5-inch photos.

    Support and Warranty
    The SiPix SP-1300 includes a USB cable, camera strap, a quick start guide
and 4 AA batteries, two CD-ROMs containing MGI PhotoSuite III SE, the SP-1300
TWAIN driver, Adobe Acrobat Reader and a PDF owner's manual.
    The camera is backed by a one-year warranty and toll free technical
support offered for one year from purchase.  The toll free technical support
