Casio Introduces Hi-Zoom EX-V7 Digital Camera

LAS VEGAS, NV, January 8, 2007

Casio, Inc. and its parent company Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of the 7.2-megapixel EXILIM Hi-ZOOM EX-V7, the most powerful zoom in the stylish EXILIM® series of compact digital cameras. This new model is the world’s slimmest digital camera with a 7X optical zoom lens*. Thinness is a defining quality in the EXILIM line, and the EX-V7 is no different as it easily fits in a shirt pocket or small purse. The EX-V7 will be on display at Casio’s Booth #9808.

In recent years, a number of compact, high-performance digital cameras have appeared on the market, but the trade-off between zoom power and camera size was evident in those models. Users who wanted to capture subjects at a distance were forced to buy bulkier cameras while other consumers sacrificed zoom for portability.
“The newest edition to the EXILIM line, the EX-V7, solves this problem, giving users the best of both worlds,” said Bill Heuer, Vice President of Casio’s Digital Imaging Division. “It’s an exceptionally portable, great-looking digital camera with a powerful zoom lens — just what the world has been waiting for.”
The new camera also introduces an innovative function for reducing photo blur, made possible by Casio’s mechanical CCD shift technology. It also combines Casio’s well-received Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur due to shaky hands or a moving subject by using higher ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, with new motion analysis technology that uses the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to capture a moving photo subject. Even at high zoom settings, the EX-V7 reduces most occurrences of image blur. Everyone from first-time photographers to seasoned professionals will love this latest photographic marvel from Casio.
* As of January 8, 2007, for digital cameras with a zoom ratio of 7x or above. Based on a Casio survey.
Exclusive to the Casio EXILIM line of digital cameras in the U.S., is the eBay® Best Shot mode. The eBay Best Shot mode is one of 33 Best Shot Modes featured in the EX-V7. eBay Best Shot takes photos at a size that is image optimized for display on eBay, allowing picture takers to more quickly and easily create photos for selling items on eBay. eBay Best Shot mode also includes Auto Macro, an ideal setting for capturing images of small items such as jewelry, tags, etc., thus automatically adjusting the focus from acquiring fine details in close up shots to capturing large items from a distance. eBay Best Shot mode allows users to capture optimized images at an ideal size for eBay. For ease of use, eBay photos are stored in a special eBay directory.
The EXILIM Hi-ZOOM EX-V7 will have a suggested retail price of $399.99 and will be available at retail in March.

Focus On Imaging 2007

Focus on Imaging 2007, Europe’s biggest annual imaging event, takes place as usual at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. It opens on Sunday, February 25th and runs until Wednesday, February 28th. Nikon will have an exciting new stand, which will enable more hands on contact with the products and allow visitors to get advice from the team of Nikon experts. A number of Nikon’s products which will be getting their exhibition debut at the show.

WHILE MILLIONS of images stay unprinted, stored on computers, CDs, memory cards and in all sorts of other high-tech shoe boxes on a shelf in some virtual cupboard, there's nevertheless a fast growing demand for state of the art software and technology for turning ordinary photographs into Great Photographs.
And nowhere will that demand be more clearly illustrated than at Focus on Imaging 2007 where visitors will be able to check out the latest offerings from internationally acclaimed and well established companies like Adobe and Corel on one hand and, on the other hand, from new generation companies which could well become household names one day.
Some of the software those visitors will be interested in – there were getting on for 29,000 of them in 2006 - as they explore Halls 9 and 10 at the NEC is aimed at professionals, at advertising studios, graphic designers and others whose work is intended for publication or for high impact public display.
Other visitors will want to find out more about programs aimed at photo enthusiasts, for whom the quality of their images of sunrises, sunsets and sunlit landscapes, sea birds and seals, spring flowers, squirrels, spiders webs and sports events (and perhaps their secretaries?) imposes a more personal demand.
Amateur photographers, home computer users who want to make the most of the family portraits he or she has taken, along with those shot at weddings, christenings and other milestone celebrations or on holiday, will also want to learn more about the more user friendly programs that have been written more for them.
And there will be mixed business and end user interest in the simple to use software which is built into kiosks or available as downloads from the internet for one-click enhancements, red eye removal, for instance, image sharpening, increased flash and so on.
But it's not just from the software companies themselves that visitors will be able to get the information they're after. One of Focus's biggest attractions is the number of stands offering free, live demonstrations and mini seminars, often given by leading names from the industry, and where visitors can pick up crucial hints and tips.
However, Focus is far from being "exclusively software". All the hardware that's needed to create great images will be on show, from cameras and lenses, both digital and analogue, through lighting and studio equipment to minilabs and pro lab processing systems. They will be alongside consumables for both darkroom and computer users and a vast choice of albums, frames and other display media, with advice aplenty from the country’s major professional photographic associations.
And don't forget the Focus Talks programme. Focus favourites Jeff Ascough and Malcolm Mathieson will once again be giving practical advice on how photographers can turn creativity into cash.

Visit http://www.focus-on-imaging.co.uk/talks for full details of the programme and booking information.
Keep an eye on the Focus website, http://www.focus-on-imaging.co.uk/, for more information as it unrolls.

Focus on Imaging 2007 takes place as usual at the NEC. It opens on Sunday, February 25th and runs until Wednesday, February 28th.

Checkout http://www.focus-on-imaging.co.uk/. You'll also find everything there you need to know and a whole lot more as well about Europe’s biggest annual imaging event.

Trade, business and professional visitors can pre-register for free admission for the 2007 event via the website. Admission for non-trade or non-professional visitors, including amateurs, all of whom are also welcome, remains at £6.00 but they can save time on the day by registering in advance via the Focus website.

HP Z3100 Review

The recent introduction of pigment printers from both HP and Canon have finally added much needed competition to the market, which has been owned by Epson for some years now. Not being content to merely catch up to Epson though, HP has taken a large step forward with the new Z3100 and Z2100 photo printers. Both printers, available in 24" and 44" sizes, use the new Vivera pigment inks first seen in the B size HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180 printer. In fact, the Z2100 uses the same 8 ink set as the smaller B9180 which I have reviewed elsewhere in depth. For this report, I'll focus on the HP Z3100 printer, which is a 12 ink – 11 colours and a gloss enhancer – version.
The enhancements don't stop with the additional inks though. The HP Z series is also the first printer that includes a built-in spectrophotometer for creating custom profiles. If you've ever dealt with profiling a printer, you'll immediately see the benefit of this. But, any printer can sound impressive when you read the feature list – after all, people go to college to learn how to make a product sound good. In this case though, the hyperbole is deserved. The output from the HP Z3100 is nothing less than outstanding, and in twenty years of digital printing, I have never been as happy in as short a time as I am with this printer.
Pigment inks have two major advantages over dye based inks. First, archival life is much greater, with most offering 70 or more years of display life before visible fading occurs. The Vivera inks in the new HP Z series printers are rated by Wilhelm Research at 200 years for both colour and black and white prints. The other primary advantage is the variety of media available. While dye ink printers are optimized to work with luster and gloss finish papers, pigments can print on almost any surface. HP has over 20 media options with many of the fine art papers being supplied by Hahnemuehle.

Panasonic Launches SD/SDHC Memory Cards With Class 6 Speed Specification

Press Release

Las Vegas, NV (January 7, 2007) – Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company today announced plans to launch new Pro High Speed SD Cards with Class 6 SD Speed specification with 1GB/2GB/4GB memory capacity. Sales of the memory cards worldwide are scheduled to begin in February 2007. Ongoing expansion and evolution of SD/SDHC compatible devices requires faster data transfer speed as well as larger storage capacity. To meet such requirements, Panasonic will introduce new Pro High Speed SD cards with Class 6 SD Speed Classification, the highest class of the three classes of SD Speed Class specification as standardized by the SD Card Association. The new Pro High Speed SD cards’ high-speed data writing capability enhances the function of advanced SD/SDHC compatible devices to provide a more stable and effective performance. Even when using the cards with the highest resolution Digital SLR, consumers can enjoy full performance of consecutive shooting without worrying about overflow of buffer memory. When used with Panasonic’s new High Definition SD Video Cameras, model HDC-SD1, the card can stably record real-time detailed High Definition video image until memory capacity exhausts.The new Pro High Speed lineup includes a 4GB SDHC* Memory Card. Thanks to the massive data storage capacity, it is now able to record High Definition movie of approximately 1 hour in AVCHD Normal mode with a single card. Panasonic will continue to expand the memory capacity, and is planning to introduce 8GB and even 16GB SDHC Memory Cards in year 2007. In addition to the introduction of new Pro High Speed series, Panasonic will also upgrade the performance of its SD Memory Card line for general use. Current 4GB SDHC Memory Card (with data transfer speed of up to 5MB/s, Class 2) will be replaced by RP-SDM04G with an improved speed of up to 10MB/s with Class 4. Also the speed classification for 2GB SD Memory Card (up to 5MB/s, Class 2) will be upgraded to Class 4, as a new model RP-SDM02G. To differentiate the Pro High Speed models from others, all Pro High Speed cards will have gold colored labels. All Panasonic SD Memory Cards for general usage will come with blue colored labels, with the exception of the 4GB SDHC Memory Card which sports a silver label.Panasonic remains committed to playing a leading role in the development of both SD/SDHC compatible devices and SD/SDHC Memory Cards. The company is planning to expand the usage and application of SD/SDHC Memory Cards by increasing their memory capacity and improving their data transfer speed. Consumers know they can count on Panasonic for high performance for stable and secure recording.

Information about Panasonic products is available at www.panasonic.com.

Additional company information for journalists is available at www.panasonic.com/pressroom. * SDHC (SD High Capacity) Memory Cards can only be used in SDHC host devices, which support the SDHC Memory Card format.
