Oregon Scientific Unveils Next-Generation in Award-Winning Action Camera Line; ATC3K and ATC5K to Hit Store Shelves This Summer

Oregon Scientific, one of the leading designers and worldwide marketers of personal electronics, has announced the latest additions to the best-selling line of hands-free, waterproof action cameras. Building on the success of the award-winning ATC2K, the ATC3K and ATC5K will be available to outdoor enthusiasts and adventures alike this summer and will include new features such as a wider field of view and expandable memory.

These self contained, waterproof all-terrain digital video cameras are designed and engineered with extreme precision, allowing users to play hard and record everything in all kinds of conditions -- dirt, snow, rain, or shine. The digital video footage is recorded in .avi format, which works seamlessly with most video editing software available for PCs and MACs. Included cables allow users to watch their videos instantly on a computer (via USB) or TV.

"We've taken Oregon Scientific's heritage in making award-winning electronic products for the home to the great outdoors, creating one-of-a-kind, affordable all-terrain cameras that action enthusiasts of all kinds will enjoy," says Bill Uzell, Executive Vice President for Oregon Scientific.
