Cream of the Crop
Currently, traffic jams are backing up at a few privileged shops
where
punters
can wave at themselves in the tiny screen of the Casio QV-10.
This digital
camera is the very latest and hottest product in town. It looks
a bit like a
miniaturised Sharp Viewcam, with a swivel lens and an LCD screen
on the
back. It
is really impressive and only about the size of a normal instamatic.
It
comes
complete with PC connection kit and Windows software. Prices start
from
HK$3200-3900 (approx. L300-350). If the technology appeals to
you but the
price
tag doesn't, you can investigate its camcorder cousins. Here
there is a
whole
litter of apparent progeny to the Viewcam and because of the category
competition, you can get a lot more for your money.
