"As a leader in digital cameras and timepieces, Casio is honored to be acknowledged these categories at the 2005 CES Innovation Awards," said John Clough, President of Casio Inc. "These awards underscore Casio's ongoing commitment to offering the most innovative and advanced technologies, while delivering the most outstanding value to our customers worldwide."
The following Casio products were selected as honorees in the Innovations 2005 Design and Engineering Showcase:
EXILIM CARD EX-S100 (MSRP $399.99)
At an astounding 3.6" x 2.24" x .66", the wearable and super-slim EXILIM CARD EX-S100 is the world's smallest credit card-sized camera with a 2.8X optical zoom (as of August 25, 2004). The EX-S100 features a 3.2 megapixel CCD and offers the user the ultimate in portability and convenience in a high quality stainless steel body. The EX-S100's compact form gives up nothing in functionality with a 2" large LCD that offers the clearest possible picture display. The world's first transparent ceramic lens is what enables Casio to pack the powerful 2.8X optical zoom lens into such a small camera.
EXILIM PRO EX-P700 (MSRP $599.99)
The EXILIM PRO EX-P700 is a Pro/Consumer digital camera that matches all the advanced features you will ever need with the standard EXILIM ease-of-use features found in other Casio digital cameras. The EX-P700 offers a 4X optical zoom (coupled with 4X digital zoom), combined with a large 2.0-inch LCD screen, offering users high performance. With its amazing 7.2 million megapixel CCD, and fast-response design, this high-end digital camera assures a new level of imaging capability. It's full array of functions and features, such as the Business Shot setting, allowing the user to take a trapezoidal distorted picture of a projector, white board, document or business card from a side angle and correct it to a rectangle automatically, also raise the bar one notch higher in terms of usability. |
