In developing digital still cameras, Sanyo looks beyond pixels

Article Abstract:

Sanyo Electric Co Ltd differentiates its digital camera lines from the competition by incorporating features other than picture resolution. While other manufacturers try to outdo each other by introducing models featuring an ever greater number of pixels, Sanyo's digital cameras can handle moving images, record sound and are easy to use. What makes these innovations possible is the Super One chip LSI.
