Casio to Launch Low-Priced Digital Camera for US$90 October 25, 2000 (TOKYO) -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd. by the end of November plans to launch a digital camera, the LV-10, that comes with a CMOS sensor with 300,000 pixels. It will be released at an open price, but the retail price is expected to be around 9,800 yen. (about US$90 by 108.50 yen = US$1) This is the first time that a leading Japanese electronics maker, which used to focus on high-performance digital cameras, will introduce a model priced at less than 10,000 yen. Until now, toy makers were in center stage selling the low-priced digital cameras. Compared with other low-priced digital cameras, the LV-10 has more basic functions, such as a built-in strobe light. The main specifications are as follows: the resolution comes in 640 x 480 pixels and 320 x 240 pixels. The number of images is about 60 images (640 x 480 pixels) and about 120 images (320 x 240 pixels). It has a 4MB, built-in EEPROM flash memory. About 900 shots can be taken continuously using two AA batteries. It has a USB interface. The camera measures 94mm wide by 63mm deep by 34mm thick, and weighs about 120g without batteries.
