Casio has this week announced the imminent launch of
a new action camera to its range which is both water and freeze proof and is
equipped with a 13mm f/2.8 equivalent lens, taking the form of the Casio GZE-1.
The Casio GZE-1 action camera is waterproof to a
depth of 50 m and includes Casio’s famous G-Shock technology normally
associated with their range of rugged watches. The GZE-1 can be controlled by
either a Casio Pro Trek watch or using your smartphone equipped with the Casio
companion application. Other features include a 21.14-million-pixel 1/2.3-type
backlit CMOS sensor capable of producing 6.9 megapixel still images and FullHD
video With frame rates up to 240fps.
Other features include Three-axis electronic image
stabilisation to help smooth out your footage as well as oversized buttons to
make controlling the camera when gloved easier. Unfortunately, no information
on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet by Casio, but as
soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated as always.
