Casio Announces the 6 Megapixel EXILIM PRO With 4X Optical Zoom

Feb. 2004 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio, Inc., in conjunction with it's parent company, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, announced the EXILIM PRO EX-P600, a stunning new addition to the growing family of EXILIM series of digital cameras. With the ease of operation typically expected from compact cameras, this EX-P600 can take users to new heights of photographic expression with its multitude of functions, including the high-performance 6-megapixel CCD and the 4X optical zoom.

The EX-P600 will be available at retail in April 2004, with an MSRP of $649.99.

The EXILIM brand of compact cameras has become synonymous throughout the world for amazing features and styling. Most notable of these features is the thin, card-sized body of every model, offering go-anywhere style, together with rapid shutter response that captures every special moment. The introduction of the 3X optical zoom and large LCD of Casio's EXILIM ZOOM brought a new wave of fun to images, added even more momentum to EXILIM's popularity, and proved Casio's engineering and development capabilities.

"The new EXILIM PRO EX-P600 offers not only the style and features of a compact camera, but it represents a new series of digital cameras exhibiting mobility with speedy response, while offering functions usually found only on full-fledged high-end models," said John Clough, president of Casio, Inc. The EX-P600 brings a whole new meaning to the excitement of photography, with a flexibility that hasn't been possible with today's fully automatic cameras. "This camera bridges the gap between the amateur and professional photographer," Clough added.
