Earlier today, at CES, DXG announced their new line of cameras, and I have to say that I am pretty impressed.  I am not going to say too much here because I think these specs will speak for themselves.  The upcoming DXG-A80V features:

· Highest video capture with true 1080p at 30fps, or 1080i at 60fps

· 5X optical zoom

· Impressive 10 megapixel still camera

· Built-in Gyro sensor for electronic image stabilization

· 3-inch LCD touch screen

· Auto and manual focus

· Supports SDHC up to 32GB

· Outfitted with an HDMI interface and package includes an HDMI cable

Wow.  Just wow.  Of course, specs only go so far, so we will be putting this one through its full paces soon,and we will see how the real thing stands up to these specs.  I will say, however, that I am pretty excited by the prospect of true HD video capabilities, and those touch screen controls.

In addition to announcing this new flagship camera, DXG also previewed a few other cameras which they expect to release later in the year.  These include:

· DXG Sportsters: DXG creates true waterproof HD video capture technology – with features such as 1080p HD video recording, a built-in 12 megapixel still camera, and waterproof design up to 10 feet, the Sportsters line will be perfect for any water adventurist.

· DXG QuickShots: Combining key design and performance features for easy video capture at a budget price, QuickShots will be the ideal gadget for video enthusiasts seeking quality and affordability.

· New Luxe Collection: DXG will be adding chic new designs to its popular Luxe line of couture high-definition camcorders. New styles will include the Chelsea Series (houndstooth designs), Paisley Series (paisley designs) and the Kensington Series (tartan designs) with vibrant color combinations.

The DXG-A80V is the first entrant in DXG’s new Pro Gear line of cameras.  It is available now from a variety of retailers for $299.99.  For more information, check out DXG’s website (www.dxgusa.com)
