Matsushita Brings Out Camcorder That Takes 3-Million-Pixel Stills

摘要

When taking snapshots digitally, the pixel count is what counts among consumers. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. says recent surveys of its users indicate there is rapidly growing demand for digital camcorders that can capture still images with expanded pixel counts. Accordingly, the company this July introduced in Japan a MiniDV-based digital camcorder that can record still pictures with 3 million pixels. Matsushita developed the NV-MX5000 especially for families with small children. In bringing out the NV-MX5000, Matsushita is responding to the growing popularity of digital cameras, as well as to the user survey. The NV-MX5000 is among the first digital camcorders that can offer 3 million pixels for recording still pictures. Matsushita will offer the model outside Japan this year. The company ex-pects it to be an eye-catcher.
