Introduction:
This extensive statement
from the website introduces us to a brand that,
before now, I’d never heard of. Perhaps
many of our members have, but it’s a new
company to this reviewer.
“DXG USA continues
to be a preferred brand for resellers and consumers
seeking fashionable, price-competitive digital
cameras and camcorders.
As one of the world’s
leading manufacturers and designers (OEM/ODM)
of digital cameras and camcorders, DXG has more
than 20 years experience producing digital technology
products for other "big name" brands.
Starting in the digital watch business, the company
is fully vertically integrated to handle all aspects
of the manufacturing and design process from industrial
design to final packaging, including quality assurance;
mechanical, electrical and software engineering;
product molding; plastic injection; assembly and
testing.
In 2004, DXG USA was able
to move into the U.S. market quickly under its
own private brand and become one of the fastest
growing digital camera manufacturers, tripling
initial revenue projections in its first year
of operation. According to Photo Marketing Association’s
final projected estimates for 2004 annual digital
camera sales, DXG has captured nearly 2% of the
U.S. market in just nine months.
Since
the company’s industry introduction at CES
2004, DXG’s success has come from building
and marketing an impressive lineup of attractive,
compact and full-featured digital cameras. Today,
DXG has one of the largest families of digital
cameras (nine in total) with a street price under
$200.
Highly
portable - yet unique in the value combination
of quality manufacturing, chic industrial design,
practical everyday use and affordability, DXG’s
digital still and video cameras are setting new
industry benchmarks for the next generation of
mainstream photo enthusiasts on the go.
The DXG product line comes
in a vast array of design styles and sizes. Available
in Ultra-thin, Compact, Camcorder, and Specialty
camera categories, consumers have as much fun
in choosing the camera as they do taking their
favorite pictures and videos. With standard features
such as non-proprietary battery operation, bundled
camera cases, leading edge software, and other
extras -- in addition to a full warranty -- the
choice for consumers is easy.
DXG is in the business
of recording memories both fun and fashionable.
As
DXG moves into 2005, the company will maintain
its focus on its target customer, while strategically
moving into more affordable higher-end, cameras.
This will expand market share and solidify DXG’s
position as “The Digital Camera Company™”.”
