Philips will introduce two new portable PC cameras, the MaxCam DMVC1000 and DMVC2000 that combine features of a PC camera and a digital camera in one. Both cameras have video and voice recording, still picture functionality, with a built-in memory of 16MB and the thin stylish design is only 20 and 28 mm, and therefore an easy carry-around media companion. The MaxCam cameras will be available in Europe mid 2003 at a price of Euro 149 (DMVC1000) and Euro 219 (DMVC2000). The top of the range model DMVC2000 combines needs of business and personal digital life in one convenient device. It is not a dual mode, but in fact it is a multipurpose portable camera. The camera features a web camera, digital still camera and a video clip recorder.
