The company, which currently sells digital cameras in the US, will launch in the UK on 22 January 2008, ahead of PMA, the photography trade show in Las Vegas at the end of January.

The company then plans to launch in other European countries thereafter.

Details, however, are still sketchy as to which models the company will announce in the UK.

The news comes almost a year after the company launched its digital camera range in the US.
