Digital camera (stills only) that takes images in 640×480 resolution. Lens has two focal points 6mm f/4 and 12mm f/5.6 and the device has a built in flash. Writes to 140mb MD discs (estimated 1000-2000) images per disc, and can add sound dubbing to each picture.. Can also be used to play/record typical audio MDs. Data transfer to PC (likely only for images since this device predates netMD) is done through a parallel port.

Has 2.5inch LCD display on the back to preview images.
