Sanyo Japan today announced two new 'Xacti' digital cameras, the four
megapixel DSC-S4 and the three megapixel DSC-S3. These two entry level
compact digital cameras have an identical body design and appear to utilize
the same lens but because of the different size of the CCD in each the
DSC-S4 only achieves 2.8x optical zoom compared to the DSC-S3's 3.0x optical
zoom. The DSC-S3's price works out at around US$300, the DSC-S4 at around
$380.
