Description:

The Casio QV-2000 Plus digital camera is a 2.11-megapixel camera offering 1,600 x 1,200 maximum resolution for still photos as well as 320 x 240 movie capabilities. It provides a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom lens, a 1.8-inch HAST LCD screen, and a cursor pad for user-friendly menu selection. Other features include auto or manual focus, autoexposure, auto white balance, a built-in quartz digital clock, an automatic four-mode flash with red-eye reduction, and nine special shooting modes.

While all these features are relatively standard with comparably priced digital cameras from other manufacturers, what sets the Casio QV-2000 Plus apart from its peers is its memory storage capabilities. It offers CompactFlash card capability (with an 8 MB card included) much like other digital imaging devices, but also supports a 340 MB IBM Microdrive (included), the most powerful method of storing digital images to date. With an IBM Microdrive, users can snap up to 400 high-quality images or 19 minutes of 7 frame-per-second video without having to switch memory cards or download. One IBM MicroDrive could replace over 11 rolls of film. This storage capacity accommodates anyone who needs to take a large number of pictures or who plans on being away from a computer for an extended period of time, such as while on vacation.

The Casio QV-2000 Plus is USB compatible and works with PC and Macintosh platforms. It operates on either four AA batteries or an optional AC adapter. Along with the QV-2000 Plus, you receive a USB cable, a serial cable, a Macintosh serial adapter cable, a software bundle, a 340 MB IBM Microdrive, an 8 MB CompactFlash type I card, a video cable, a soft carrying case, and a strap. The included software bundle enables you to instantly upload your photos to the Internet, to convert files into e-mail form, or to edit your photos with ease.

Casio backs the QV-2000 Plus with a one-year warranty.
