AgfaPhoto DV-5000G DV Looks Too Much Like Nokia N93

Someone has got to say this, but the AgfaPhoto DV-5000G presented at PMA resembles a bit too much like a Nokia N93, only without the dial pad, all the wireless modules and perhaps a sky-high price tag. What the two have the most in common is the display that swivels to become a viewfinder and that also flips open from its closed state to a reclined position for watching video, playing games and previewing photos.

The DV-5000G is primarily a digital video camera with its fixed focus 5MP CMOS sensor and 3" TFT 320x240 LCD. Omitting auto-focus and an optical zoom makes it somewhat undesirable as a still cam. Its SDHC slot allows you to shoot over two hours of MPEG-4 in D1 (720x480), but 64MB integrated memory won't get you far without an external card upgrade. AgfaPhoto also pulls a page out of competitor DXG too by bundling 20 games such as Tetris, Black Jack, etc. Last but not least is the DV-5000G to double as a USB 2.0 VGA webcam with moment recognition capability. If you are interested, the DV-5000G will be yours for $259 MSRP.
