DXG USA Sees Another Hit This Holiday Season with New 506V Tapeless Camcorder / Digital Camera / MP3 Player; Low-Cost Digital Camcorder Makes Transferring Video and Photos to Your Computer Easier Than Ever.

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. -- DXG USA, one of the fastest growing digital camera manufacturers in the United States, today announced its latest trend-setting digital camcorder for entry-level enthusiasts. The new DXG-506V digital camcorder combines an MPEG-4 video camcorder, 5.1-megapixel digital still camera, MP3 player, voice recorder and PC camera -- all in one device about the size of a bar of soap. The DXG-506V is already heavily pre-ordered and will be available for shipping in late November.

The DXG-506V is the newest generation of the extremely popular DXG-305V, which has sold over 160,000 units since February. In contrast to the 305V, the 506V sports a much larger 5.1 megapixel sensor, a larger LCD screen, the ability to take full-motion VGA (640x480) video and the ability to record in AVI, MOV and ASF formats.

"The DXG-506V addresses one of the hottest imaging trends right now, which is having a single device that captures full-motion video as well as high-resolution photos," said Jeff Hansen, Director of Marketing for DXG USA. "And unlike MiniDV(R) camcorders, the DXG-506V makes it incredibly easy to transfer video files to a computer for emailing or editing by simply removing the SD card and inserting it into a computer. Couple that ease-of-use with a design small enough to fit it in the back pocket of your jeans, and you can understand why this camera is attracting so much interest."

As a digital camcorder, the DXG-506V utilizes the latest MPEG-4 video compression technology and allows users to record in multiple formats for playback on a computer or TV. The DXG-506V includes an expandable SD card slot for up to two hours of video recording with a 2GB SD card.

As a digital camera, the DXG-506V can provide high-resolution 5.1-megapixel digital still photos suitable for prints up to 13x19 inches. The camera also offers a flash, macro function and Direct Print capability.

The DXG-506V's voice recorder is ideal for college students recording classroom lectures or personal reminders. The voice recorder allows the 506V to record over 24 hours of audio on one SD card -- 25 times the amount of a typical cassette recorder.

For those who want to listen to music, the 506V's MP3 player allows users to listen to up 40 hours of music with a 2GB SD card. And for those wishing to videoconference with friends or remote relatives, the DXG-506V can be quickly connected to a computer for video conferencing over the Internet.

The DXG-506V provides 12 white balance settings and 4 still image settings (1MP, 3MP, 5MP, and 12MP using firmware interpolation) and ships with 32MBs of onboard memory. The DXG-506V utilizes a USB 2.0 interface and comes with USB/AV cables, camera case, wrist strap, earphones, editing software and AAA batteries.
