 Kyocera
(also known as Yashica) today announced their tiny Finecam S3 digital
camera, weighing at less than 200 g and just smaller than Canon's Digital
IXUS (S100 ELPH) it becomes the smallest 3 megapixel digital camera available.
The S3 has a metal case, 2 x optical zoom lens, SD card (MMC) storage,
a 3 megapixel CCD and several manual controls. At this stage it's unclear
under what name the S3 would be marketed outside of Japan.
