The Casio QV-3000

Above all I want to be certain my posts here are accurate. I don't mind being opinionated, unreasonable, arcane, disjointed, obtuse, insensitive to East Coast geography, long-winded, inconsequential, trivial, insensitive to used Winnebago owners, picayune or even boring (did I leave anything out?) I do, however, want to be accurate.

The Casio QV 3000 does ship for $799.99 with a 16 MB CompactFlash card, so consumers are not roped into buying a microdrive after all. I apologize for the inaccuracy in my prior post.

The QV-3000EX proves that Casio is not just satisfied to be a minor player in the digital camera business. Their QV-2000UX was the first digicam to be bundled with an IBM Microdrive and now they've done it again with the new QV-3000EX Plus. The real news is the price -- $999 for the camera AND the 340MB Microdrive or $799 for the camera and a 16MB CF card.

Now would someone please explain why Casio continues to christen their digital cameras with long, encrypted, convoluted names, but are content to give simple names like "E-100" to their palmtop PC's??? I mean "QV-3000EX plus" sounds like the name of Chevy Chase's fully-automated station wagon in the original National Lampoon Vacation. This is marketing guys...not Scrabble! (QV-3000EX plus x triple word score = nobody cares)
