Flovel unveils high-sensitivity camera

Tokyo-based Flovel introduced its new FZ-B1 high-sensitivity camera with a 2/3-inch CMOS 1.3 megapixel color image sensor. The compact camera records in 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 720p/60p and 720/50p formats and has a low-light sensitivity of only 0.01 lux. According to Flovel this allows it to record high-quality color video at such low-light levels as mere moonlight. The FZ-B1 has a list price of $30,000 and is scheduled to ship in November. More information available soon on Flovel and its distributor FOR-A.
