    With its puristic form, the four million pixel AZ-1 is a minimalist eye-catcher. Yet it is also designed to offer maximum versatility. Within the camera's slim metal body, a 3 x optical zoom has been integrated through the use of a new lens with a "folded" light path. Its compact dimensions permit this digital wonder to slip easily into your jacket pocket for use as your visual note pad, photographing places or concepts that you might want to return to or explore in greater detail. The AZ-1 enables you to share captured images to the fullest with others. Shots burst to life on the large 2.5" LCD Screen, turning the camera into a portable photo album.

    A new joystick button seamlessly enhances operating ease, offering quick selection of the various settings. And whether you happen to find yourself among the snowy peaks in winter or on an evening promenade at the beach, 23 scene programme modes ensure optimum image quality in a wide range of shooting situations.

    With its bold, uncluttered lines, the AZ-1 exudes purism and advanced technology. Its unique combination of compact design, zoom power and photo viewing functionality makes it an entirely new type of camera.
