Casio Japan announce the QV-2800UX & QV-2300UX. Both cameras feature
the same 2.11 megapixel CCD (1600 x 1200 resolution), the QV-2300UX has
a 3x optical zoom lens, the QV-2800UX has a big 8x optical zoom lens.
Interestingly Casio have gone for the rotating lens option we first saw
in the QV-7000UX and QV-8000UX.
