Casio Japan has today announced the new 4 megapixel QV-4000. This camera,
obviously the 'next in line' from the QV-3000, QV-3500 series, features
a 4.1 megapixel CCD sensor outputing a 2240 x 1680 image (3.7 megapixels).
It has a 3x optical zoom lens which is labelled "Canon Lens",
interestingly this lens looks identical to that used on most of last year
3 megapixel digital cameras. (something some of us suspected for a long
time). Design wise it's much better looking than the older Casio's, definetly
some echo's of the DSC-S75 there though...
