FISHER POCKET CAMERACORDER IS THE WORLD’S LIGHTEST HIGH-RESOLUTION MPEG-4 CAMCORDER/DIGITAL CAMERACompletely Tapeless, It Records Onto a Tiny SD Memory
Card for Fast Transfer to PCs; CHATSWORTH, CA, November 17, 2003 – Americans love to record family events, especially those once-in-a-lifetime moments as the baby’s first steps, weddings, graduations and spontaneous moments at home or on vacation. So, in order to record it all, we've had to take along both a bulky camcorder for shooting video and a separate digital or film camera for still pictures. And, because it’s inconvenient to lug around and keep track of multiple devices, we often choose to take one along and leave the other behind. Sometimes, it’s a decision we regret. The new Fisher FVD-C1 Pocket CameraCorder™, from Fisher Multimedia, makes such compromises a thing of the past. Capable of superb, DVD-like video recording with CD-like audio quality, the unique Fisher CameraCorder can also take high-resolution, 3.2 megapixel still images. Compact enough to fit snugly in your hand or carry easily inside a pocket or small purse, it’s the ideal, all-in-one device for capturing life’s special moments whenever and wherever they occur. At just 5.4 ounces†, the Fisher CameraCorder is the world’s lightest high-resolution MPEG-4 camcorder and digital camera with memory card storage*. It incorporates advanced MPEG-4 digital recording and a proprietary, state-of-the-art MPEG-4 chip for richly detailed images and sound. Storage is completely “tapeless,” and comes in the form of an included, postage stamp-size 512 megabyte SD memory card, which lets users record up to 30 minutes of full-motion video at an industry standard 30-frames-per-second (VGA-size: 640x480). In still mode, the 512MB card can store up to 491 images (2048x1536), more than enough for crisp, sharp 11” x 14” color prints. And, unlike ordinary camcorders, users –while recording in video mode– can simultaneously capture still images with a simple shutter press. The Fisher FVD-C1 CameraCorder has a suggested retail price of $899.99. Consumer use digital video camera category, with
better than VGA camcorder resolution (as of 10/1/03). “Nearly 10 million digital cameras and 5.7 million traditional camcorders are now sold annually in the U.S.,” stated Isaac Levy, vice president, sales and marketing for Sanyo Fisher Company’s Audio Video Division. “We chose to introduce an all-in-one digital camcorder after special Fisher focus group testing showed that 55% of the respondents preferred a combination digital camera and digital camcorder. Over 60% of the age group 20-29, the group normally considered to be early adopters of digital photography technology, and over 50% in both the 30-39 and 40-49 age groups, likewise, preferred the Fisher CameraCorder. Strong interest was also shown by current owners of either a digital camera or digital camcorder as well as by both men and women. “The Fisher Pocket CameraCorder,” Levy added, “offers a cost-effective, technology-driven, pocket-size solution for individuals and families wishing to have the best of both worlds –digital still photography and full-motion digital video.” Since the CameraCorder records both video and still images as individual digital files, it’s fast and easy to transfer them to your PC or Mac for playback or sharing via e-mail attachments with friends and family. The CameraCorder comes with a Multifunction Docking Station that connects to a computer via an included high-speed USB 2.0 connection cable. The Docking Station can be used as a battery charger or as an AC power source during playback. It can also be used to easily connect the CameraCorder to a TV or PC for convenient, instant playback of recently shot videos and images. A handy, ultra-thin infrared remote control is included for simplified menu browsing and playback. The CameraCorder also comes equipped with a special PC Kit of high-performance moviemaking software. These tools build on the FVD-C1’s impressive in-camera editing capability and help prepare your edited programs for transfer to DVD or creation of a Video CD disc. Supplied software includes:
