Concord announces new Concord 5345z camera does this 5mp concord look a lot like a casio 5mp camera? (the casio qv-R51 ?)
NEWS! - Gateway makes its digicam debut more info on gateway's rebranded cameras - it makes gateways cameras look like a mish-mash of other peoples cameras with no design similaritys other than the fact that they say gateway on them, eg T20 - dark grey - looks a bit like a casio? the M40 looks like a fake nikon (nikon silvery champagne coloured), the M50 - just plain ugly - perhaps a vague copy of the canon a10/20 in design, and the T50 looks more silvery and looks a tiny bit like a canon IXUS - not that i'm saying all these manufacturers just try and copy other camera design... oh no, i would never say that.

More recent Fuji cameras, such as the S5000, A202 etc have the shutter release button in the cen
