Casio has today announced its updated GV-20 digital camera. The GV-20
is essentially a two megapixel version of the GV-10 which was announced
back in October last year. The GV-20 is has a ruggedized and waterproof
case. All seal points have o-rings and the main camera body is 'cushioned'
within the case by internal rubber shock absorbers. The outside of the
case is also coated by thick rubber, you can choose red or black. The
GV-20 has a two megapixel CCD sensor and fixed focal length lens. More
proof if any were needed that two megapixel is the new entry level.
