It has a 1/2.7 inch CCD and features a 10x optical zoom to capture still images and high resolution (VGA) full motion movies on MPEG4 format with zoom capability. "The new Optio MX is the first step into the production of full-capacity digital video and has a price tag under $400. For optimal results in panoramic settings, a wide conversion lens will be available as an accessory to the Optio MX. The new Optio model will ship to dealers in June 2004."
