| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mustek Introduces the GSmart 350 Digital Camera with CyberDisplayTM Technology November 1999 - (Irvine, California) –Mustek, Inc. is pleased to announce a new addition to its current digital camera family, the GSmart 350. Incorporated with a color CyberDisplayTM, the GSmart 350 is a 350K pixel VGA resolution Digital Still Camera (DSC) that is not only compact in size but also versatile in function. Mustek is the world's first camera manufacturer to incorporate the CyberDisplayTM technology into a digital camera. With two to three times the resolution of a 90,000-110,000 pixel 1.8"-2.0" LCD display, the CyberDisplayTM is an Active-Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) that is capable of displaying 320 x 240 full-color resolution. The result is bright, vivid color images (76,800 pixels), mimicking a PC monitor built into the camera, that enables viewing of the most realistic virtual images one or four at a time even under direct sunlight. True framing and exposure feedback, what you see is what you get, and easy-to-read fonts are just some of the benefits of this display, which also significantly reduces power consumption. Able to store 8 to 12 high-resolution images with its built-in memory, the GSmart 350 also provides a standard CompactFlash card slot to allow the freedom of expanding and portability. The USB interface provides an efficient way of transferring the captured image to your PC/Notebook. The unique Bus Power design requires no battery power while connected to the computer so no power adapter is needed. The alkaline battery support allows the user to purchase batteries just about anywhere. And with only 3 batteries supporting up to 1,000 shots, the GSmart 350 is significantly better than other digital cameras currently available. "The GSmart 350, with its sleek design and user-friendly features, reaffirms Mustek’s commitment to providing value and versatility to our customers," stated Mike Feng, President of Mustek, Inc.. "An ease-of-use design philosophy and the inclusion of the CyberDisplay technology provides what customers want in a digital camera: long battery life and increased usefulness and usability." Especially targeted for consumers new to digital cameras, the GSmart 350 is not only an easy Plug-and-Play digital camera but also presents a high-fashion profile and stylish design. It is compact and lightweight so it can be brought anywhere, take a picture any time, and capture precious moments that will last a lifetime. The GSmart 350 is available now and has a suggested retail price of $199.
