Japan today announced the M70, their first foray into the 3 megapixel
race, a camera first seen at PMA2000 now headlines Toshiba's range with
a 3x Canon Zoom lens (35-105mm 35mm equiv., fast F2.0) uses SmartMedia
for storage and has full support for the shutterbug features of Aperture

3x lens) cunningly similar to the Casio QV-3000EX.
