Hamburg, November 2008 – Rollei presents its newest 10 mega pixel camera, the XS-10 inTouch. Rollei is relying on the use-friendly advantages of innovative touch screen technology for this camera. The menu is operated by lightly touching the bright 3-inch TFT display, making buttons pretty much superfluous. Furthermore, the slim aluminium case combines 23 motif programmes as well as many other functions, and a second lithium-ion battery supplied with the camera ensures you can keep going for a long time.
 
The Rollei XS-10 inTouch combines the most modern technology with easy handling. The ergonomic aluminium case weighs a mere 130 grams (without battery and SD card) and transmits both high quality and robustness. A picture resolution of 10 mega pixel and the 5 x Rollei Apogon zoom ensure perfect photos in DIN-A4 print quality. In addition to manual setting options, 23
motif programmes, such as night portrait or sport mode, mean that the optimal setting is available for virtually every situation. Furthermore, the Rollei XS-10 inTouch offers numerous handy features for even more photo fun. For example, the 'smile detection' function automatically detects and focuses on smiling faces, and the 'Rollei face detection' function, which can bring one or more faces into focus in an instant whilst providing optimal exposure, is ideal for portrait photos. Another useful feature is the 'coupling shot', which combines two photos into one picture. The group photo can therefore be extended afterwards to include the missing people. 360 degrees photos are also easy to take, thanks to the 'panorama' function. Using the 'serial picture' function, the compact digital camera can take up to 3 photos per second, ensuring that sports scenes or other moving objects are captured perfectly. The 'Rollei anti shake function' helps reduce the number of blurred images, so that more of your photos turn out well. Video clips in full VGA resolution are also possible – and the built-in speaker means the results can be both seen and heard.
 
The Rollei XS-10 inTouch is now available from retailers in the colour black, and comes with a second lithium-ion battery and an external recharging unit, as well as the 'PhotoStudio 9' software package from Zoner. The recommended retail price is 169.95 euros.

About Rollei
Cameras which are simple to use and function superbly – Rollei's history began in a Braunschweig workshop in 1920 under this motto.

The camera portfolio includes the three product lines 'Compact', 'Slim' and 'Active'.
