Casio QV-3EX

Casio QV-3EX ... features a new high-speed image processor that has the camera ready for the next shot in less than a second after the previous shot.

The QV-3EX's new LSI combines image processing circuitry and DRAM onto a single chip, which together with Casio's original high-density chip mounting technology creates the smallest, lightest weight 3-megapixel camera available today. Other features include a new high-speed image processor that makes it possible to record consecutive images with an interval of less than a second between shots, 12-step digital zoom up to 3.2x normal size, and plenty more, all packed into a stylish aluminum alloy body.

Photographic functions include programmed AE and aperture priority AE, in addition to a Night Scene, Landscape, Manual, and other useful modes, all accessible with the turn of a function selector dual. Auto exposure bracketing (AEB) records three images automatically shifting exposure to three different levels, while a histogram screen graphically shows the brightness of recorded images at a glance. This and much more makes the QV-3EX the digital camera that supports digital imaging at all levels, from the point-and-shoot snap shooter all the way to the serious digital image artist.
