Michael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource (Monday, June 4, 2007 - 19:35 EDT)DXG USA has announced a new digital camera model offering seven megapixels of resolution coupled to a 3x optical zoom lens.
The DXG model 711 has a compact body with fairly smooth, pocket-friendly lines once the zoom lens is retracted on power-off.

Other features include ISO sensitivity from 50 to 400, 15 scene modes that serve to make the camera approachable to beginners, a 30 frames-per-second VGA movie mode, and an MP3 voice recorder function. Images, movies and audio clips are stored in either 32MB of built-in memory or on standard SD / MMC cards (but not the newer SDHC types). Power comes courtesy of two AA batteries, with alkaline disposables in the product bundle (which also includes Mr. Photo 3 and VideoWorks 6 software).
