Start a Mudfight with the PENTAX Optio W90 and a chance to win a $400 American Express gift card.
Click on the image to Join the Mud-Fight
PENTAX Imaging Company announced today the launch of the PENTAX Optio W90 MUDFIGHT CHALLENGE. Centered around the company’s award winning waterproof camera, the MUDFIGHT CHALLENGE APP dares Facebookers around the globe to test their skills at a brand new sport – virtual mud throwing.
Participants* may visit: http://apps.facebook.com/mudfight/ and muck it up with Facebook friends, family, or those pesky frenemies. Facebookers who play may become eligible to win a $400 American Express gift card. *Participation is limited to current Facebook members. Sign-up is free at www.facebook.com.
MUDFIGHT CHALLENGE is easy to play. Once loaded, the APP randomly helps players select five Facebook friends. Next, users access a computer mouse to target the crosshair aim as friends pop up randomly. Every hit drives up the score and helps players ascend to higher levels of play while top scores are recorded on a leaderboard. Facebookers are entered into the sweepstakes each time they play.* *(Up to 50 times per day.)
Covered in questionable substances from the start, the PENTAX Optio W90 mud obsession originated to communicate the adventure-proof features of the camera. The APP is one of several consumer marketing initiatives to promote the adventurous camera in the midst of a global media shift from traditional to digital and social. PENTAX Imaging launched www.facebook.com/pentax about one year ago. More than 20,000 (and growing) facebookers indicate they “like” the site on the home page.
“There is no longer one right way to engage consumers,” said Ned Bunnell, president, PENTAX Imaging Company. “This comprehensive campaign, designed by The1stMovement, our recently selected digital advertising agency of record, uses a combination of interactive and social media components to help us build stronger relationships with more customers.”
“Providing engagement with the PENTAX brand through a social media game is a natural extension of the Optio W90 initiative,” said Ann Van Orsdel, president of The1stMovement. “Reaching our audience where they spend their time, helps reinforce our product message and key benefits in a way that is both fun and relevant.”
Along with MUDFIGHT, PENTAX and The1stMovement recently unveiled “THE MOST ADVENTUROUS FRIEND YOU KNOW” campaign for the Optio W90 that encompasses:
• Home page animated flash enhancements to www.pentaximaging.com to communicate the features of the Optio W90 and all of the latest PENTAX digital cameras.
• Digital and traditional billboards and train wraps posted in downtown Minneapolis near the TWINS Stadium on the cusp of the holiday shopping season.
• Targeted online integrated, taunting rich media banner ads that feature the Optio W90 as “THE MOST ADVENTUROUS FRIEND YOU KNOW” encouraging viewers to create an adventure of their own and step outside their comfort zone.
• The leveraging of a variety of social media advertisements and a targeted pay-per-click campaign.
• Several fresh, new product videos on www.youtube.com/pentaxian1 that entertain while demonstrating product features and applications.

Internationally-renowned provider of digital lifestyle innovations, BenQ, expands the lineup of their camcorder product line today with the launch of their latest pocket-size 1080p Full HD M11. The new M11 is packed with features such as a 10MP CMOS sensor; 5x optical zoom and 3.0” 16:9 touch-screen display. Sensational results are a few touches away.
Smart engineering, functionality and intuitive operation gracefully merged to work together in M11: touch exposure; face tracking; time lapse recording; slow-motion and accelerated playback; 3sec pre-recording and dual stream recording are only few of its inexplicable features – along with the scene mode selection allowing its users to change and select up to 10 shooting modes: Auto; Night; Sports; Landscape; Portrait; Sunset; Sand /Snow; Flower; Firework and Aquarium. Giving the consumer’s the ability to record their precious moments in life with ease.
One of the prominent functions in M11 is the Time Lapse Recording feature. M11 allows users to create magnificent video works with this handy feature, engrossing clips of actions slowly being unfolded can be captured. Watch a flower bloom, a rainstorm approach, a city’s dusk till dawn. Videos recorded in this mode can be quickly viewed and take up little storage space.
Viewing experience on the M11 is exceptionally flexible, actions on the videos can be slowed down to as little as 1/64th of the original speed, or sped up by up to 64 times when filmed at the resolution of 432×240. Playback at the speed you like, and capture certain shots with ease using the shutter. Watch a friend’s facial expression in slow motion, or whiz through slow-moving action all at your fingertips, literally.
The 3 sec pre-recording feature on M11 saves the video for the three seconds before the user actually pressed the record button, which means there will be no worry if the record button is pressed right after the action started. Get it all on the video for posterity by using those magically restored seconds.
Dislike fiddling with confusing ISO settings? For users who hope for the best with hit-and-miss conventional auto-exposure settings, use the advanced touch-activated version. The touch exposure feature allows tapping on the screen where the light levels look right to a discerning eye, and the correct exposure levels will automatically be set.
Another proud feature for the M11 is the dual stream recording, built-in with its users in mind. It simultaneously creates two different video files as videos are being filmed. One can be a high-definition version for a luxurious viewing experience on a widescreen TV, whilst another can be a compact version for uploading and sharing on the web. No more tedious conversions or slow uploads!
The M11 will be available in China and Asia Pacific in October, and Latin America in November.For more information, please visit www.BenQ.com
