DIWA Press Release 19/03/04

Last month Casio was awarded a Digital Imaging Websites Awards (DIWA) silver medal award for its QV-R40 compact digital camera. A presentation of the award certificate was made to senior Casio representatives at the recent PMA show in Las Vegas, but manufacturing of the special DIWA medal trophies wasn?t completed until after PMA. The trophies are made from a unique polished black rock unique to Larvik, Norway.

With the recent arrival of completed DIWA Awards trophies, a presentation of Casio?s silver medal trophy was arranged on the Casio booth at the CeBIT Fair in Hannover during the show?s opening day.

Pictured during the presentation on the Casio booth are DIWA general manager, Ian Burley handing the 3kg trophy to Ricky Stewart, Casio Europe senior sales manager and Harald Schr?der, Casio Europe marketing manager.

The Casio QV-R40, tested by DIWA member test sites using the association?s unique and detailed scoring system, reached a total score that merited a silver award, with image quality and ease of use making a significant contribution to the camera?s success.
