Concord: Two new ultra-compact digicams!

Eye-Q Go gets an update to 1.3 megapixels...

In the second of today's items in our PMA wrap-up from Concord Camera Corp., we take a look at two new ultra-compact digital cameras based on the existing Eye-Q Go model. Both featuring 1.3 megapixel CMOS imagers and 44mm-equivalent fixed focus lenses, the Eye-Q Go LCD and Go 1300 differ only in their image review choices. As the name would suggest, the Go LCD features a 1.6" LCD display, whilst the Go 1300 uses an electronic viewfinder... Other features shared by the cameras include 8MB of built-in memory, MMC/SD card slots, USB and TV out connectivity (with options for serial, bluetooth and IrDA!), a built-in flash and both video / webcam capabilities.

For full specifications, read on... Apologies for the picture quality of the images below; Concord's booth was not the best-lit and in the rush to another appointment Mike didn't get time to check the images for proper exposure. Sorry!
