Description:

Casio's QV2300 point-and-shoot digicam features a 2.11 megapixel sensor that captures enough detail for photo-quality prints at sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. Shots are stored on an IBM Microdrive, which is a matchbook-size 340 MB hard drive that holds over 400 images at maximum resolution. Sold separately, the Microdrive retails for several hundred dollars, so its inclusion in this package makes the Casio especially attractive.

Though the Microdrive is particularly noteworthy, the camera has a number of additional features worth mentioning. The lens has a 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom, allowing the photographer to bring faraway objects closer. Other features include a three-step aperture control, a four-mode automatic or manual white balance, as well as center-weighted and spot-exposure controls. To save on size, complexity, and price, Casio has not omitted the traditional optical viewfinder--all photos must be composed by viewing the 1.8-inch low-glare LCD monitor, which can also be used to review your photos.
