The Bank Holiday weekend saw the release of a new 7.2-million-pixel camera from Casio called the Exilim EX-S770.
Billed as an ?ultra slim? model the EX-S770 measures 13.7mm at its thinnest point and sports a 2.8in ?wide screen? LCD monitor with a resolution of 230,000 pixels.
Included in the kit is ?data transport? software which enables data such as business documents, emails and web pages to be converted to JPEG format and transferred to the camera. ?For instance, tourist attractions and maps that users have looked up on the internet can be viewed on the camera?s LCD – eliminating the need to carry around a guidebook,? explained a spokesman for Casio UK.
Out in a choice of silver, red or blue the S770 features an f/2.7 lens which is designed to deliver the 35mm viewing angle equivalent of a 38-114mm zoom.
Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery the 127g model comes with spot metering, a top shutter speed of 1/2000sec and USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connectivity for downloading images. It costs £279.99.
