DXG Press Release
Both Cameras Offer Quality and Style at an Affordable Price
DXG USA, one of the fastest growing digital camera manufacturers in the United States, today announced the introduction of two new 5.1 megapixel digital cameras designed for entry-level and step-up buyers. The two models will be available for shipping in August.
DXG-568 - 5.1 Megapixel Compact (pictured above)
Priced at $129.99, the DXG-568 is a compact digital camera loaded with features not found in similar models. The camera boasts a 1/1.8“ 5.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, 4x digital zoom, built-in 32MB flash memory, external SD card slot, 1.5” TFT LCD screen, full-motion (30 frames per second) 640x480 AVI video with sound, Direct Print capability and a flash. The camera also offers voice recorder functionality, TV-Out capability for viewing pictures on a television, five white balance settings, four still image settings (1MP, 3MP, 5MP, and 10MP using firmware interpolation) and a USB 2.0 interface.
DXG-552 - 5.1 Megapixel Slim Model (pictured below)
Priced at just $139.99, the stylish DXG-552 offers the same 5.1 megapixel sensor and full-motion video capabilities as the Model 568, but offers a larger 2.0“ LTPS LCD housed within a slim body with a sleek chromed metal front. At 3.5” x 2.2“ x 0.9”, the camera is the size of a deck of playing cards. The DXG-552 and DXG-568 can both be used as a PC cam and ship with USB/AV cables, camera case, wrist strap, editing software and alkaline batteries.
“Our strong growth over the past year has been the result of camera models that provide quality and style at the right price,” said Paul Goldberg, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing for DXG USA. “These new models definitely continue in that tradition and we see them as being big sellers this holiday season. A few large retailers have already pre-ordered a significant number of units.”

This camera is horrible. It has poor color, does not do well at all in low lighted areas, but when you use the flash it washes the subject out very badly. Also has issues uploading to computers. Sometimes the buttons quit working, and has no sound for the video, so you have to go through the trouble of uploading the movie on to your PC and then listen to it.
I am not happy with this camera and plan to get a new one.
Ok Things: Slim and cute; large enough LCD.
Other than the above stated, this thing is not a camera. It a failed attempt at a camera. Cameras take pictures, this take sketches. Really...photos are horrible in sunlight (makes images appear darker even in extreme light) and easily blurred. I don't want to even mention the night shots. Worst camera I have ever owned!!! I sold it less than a month after (I felt really bad...and good) purchase, of course giving the guy my honest opinion about the cam. I guess it was his first and it didn't matter to him then. I think they made a mistake when the said 5Mp. I used a 2mp and the quality is so much superior to this one. oh shucks, I think it's rather unfair compairing this 'camera wannabe' to actual cameras. I think this should be in the kids store labled "ages 3-7 only". After letting this one go, I bout an Olympus fe-115 5Mp and was definately satisfied. Pictures are sharp and nice. Stay away from DXG!!!
