Microtek Introduces Three New Digital Cameras at PMA
Take-it D3, M-300, & MV-330 are all sleek, stylish, and versatile cameras for easy on-the-go use Las Vegas, NV (February 13, 2004) - Microtek introduced here at PMA today three new digital cameras aimed at the budding or amateur photographer, each featuring 3.1-or-higher-megapixel CMOS sensors, LCD screens with intuitive on-screen displays, digital and playback zoom, a variety of flash modes, USB connectivity, and built-in internal flash with expandable memory. The three new cameras are the Take-it D3, the M-300, and MV-330.
Take-it D3. Fun and functionality is what the Take-It D3 is all about. With a 3.21-megapixel CMOS sensor, the camera can capture 2048 x 1536-pixel images (up to 2560 x 1536 interpolated). An efficient and simple button layout allows you to accomplish any task quickly, and the large 1.5” LCD allows easy review of pictures or framing of subjects. For close-up shots, the Take-It D3 has a 4X digital zoom function, plus userselectable flash settings to provide great flexibility and accommodate a variety of lighting conditions. Five modes – Auto, Auto with Red-Eye Reduction, Forced Flash, Forced Flash with Red-Eye Reduction, and Flash Off – are offered for any type of photographic condition. To store images, the D3 comes with 8MB of internal memory and a Secure Digital (SD) expandable memory slot. The Microtek Take-It D3 digital camera is now shipping to the retail channel and is also available through Microtek's global distribution channels including Ingram Micro, Tech Data, distributors of photographic equipment and supplies, value-added resellers, as well as the direct mail channels. Estimated street price is $129.99.
M-300. The M-300 is a 3.1-megapixel camera with a 4x digital zoom. What distinguishes the M-300 is also its 2x manual zoom feature that allows users to increase magnification levels to precise levels such as 1.3x, 1.7x, 2.4x,etc. instead of traditional fixed points (1x / 2x / 3x, etc.). The manual zoom feature also gives the M-300 camera a classic feel similar to that of more expensive SLR cameras. Other features of the M-300 include a large 1.8” LCD screen, Macro up to 40 cm., and an AV output to watch on TV similar to that allowed by a regular Digital Video camera. The M-300 will be available at the beginning of Q2 in 2004, with an estimated street price of $149.99.
MV-330. The MV-330 is styled after a Digital Video camera, with a 3.21-megapixel CMOS
sensor and a high frame-per-second (fps) rate approaching the quality of standard video recordings. It has a Direct Print feature that is PictBridge-compliant, allowing the MV-330 to print directly via USB cables to printers using the PictBridge protocol without passing through a PC. And the camera’s MPEG4 technology allows movie recording in the .ASF format, recording images in motion with audio at 320 x 40 pixels (25 to 30 frames per second), or at 64 x 480 pixels (10 to 12 frames per second). The MV-330 also comes with 16MB of internal memory with Secure Digital card support, 1.8” LCD screen, plus USB host and device functions that allow the camera to read and write on the USB flash drive. The MV-330 will be available at the beginning of Q2 in 2004, with an estimated street price of $199.99.
