New AgfaPhoto Cameras Debut at CES
RedDot Imaging, the authorized licensee of AgfaPhoto products in several territories, today announced its new line of AgfaPhoto cameras for 2012. The lineup features cameras with advanced image capture capabilities based on CMOS sensor technology and features designed to cater to every level of digital imaging enthusiast.
New for 2012, the Eleganza and Selecta camera lines were designed by Julian Schlagheck of Schlagheck Designs Germany. Schlagheck Design GmbH is a 40 year design house that has history embedded in the Agfaphoto DNA having designed multiple award-winning products in several categories for the brand. ?We are excited to have the new camera designs that take inspiration from the German roots of AgfaPhoto.? added Joe Atick, Chairman and CEO of RedDot Imaging.
Consisting of 8 new models, the lineup features 4 Point-and-Shoots, 2 Bridge models, a Projector camera, and a high-definition ruggedized HD Mini-camcorder. Four of the models utilize CMOS sensors for superior image quality, lower power consumption and rapid shooting capabilities. All cameras are bundled with MediaImpression 3D Edition for Agfaphoto productivity software from ArcSoft for media management and allow users to easily convert their images and videos into 3D and view them with the included 3D glasses.
?This new line represents AgfaPhoto?s commitment to providing the best imaging experience to its customers? said Rene Buhay, President of RedDot Imaging, ?The combination of CMOS technology, our 3D/productivity software bundles and German influenced designs complements that experience?.
The CMOS component of that experience includes 10 frames-per-second capture rate and full 1080p HD video on select models.
