Casio has today announced the 'G.BROS GV-10' digital camera. Available
in this highly attractive rubberized red / black case or a similar purple
/ silver the GV-10 has a 1.3 megapixel CCD sensor and a fixed focal length
lens (35 mm equiv.). It is said to be waterproof and dustproof to JIS
protection grade six, this essentially means it could be used in the rain,
skiing or on the beach without any worries. Storage comes via a Compact
Flash slot and the GV-10 takes four AA batteries. It's not clear at this
stage if this is solely a domestic (Japan only) model or whether it will
be available in the rest of the world.
