Award-Winning Products
PX-S1000 Privia Digital Piano
With the PX-S1000, Casio returned to the original Privia series concept of “Private Piano” that can be enjoyed in one’s own private space. It offers a keyboard touch and beautiful sound that feels like a grand piano, this despite featuring the world’s slimmest depth among digital pianos.
DZ-D100 DERMOCAMERA
This small lightweight camera for dermatologists can capture both close-up and regular photographic images of the lesion. Moreover, polarized, non-polarized, and UV *1 photos can be simultaneously captured with a single click of the shutter button. Since the three different light images are captured from the exact same angle, it is useful for comparative verification.
- *1 Safe 405 nm wavelength UV light is used.
GWR-B1000 G-SHOCK GRAVITYMASTER Series Watch
The GWR-B1000 features a newly developed shock-resistant design that takes advantage of the properties of carbon fiber. Its carbon monocoque case is made of carbon fiber reinforced resin, and seamlessly integrates the back cover. As a result, this G-SHOCK model boasts high strength while weighing just 72 grams, less than any previous GRAVITYMASTER series watch.
