Picture This: Sakar International's New Edit On Demand Technology Lets Users Edit, Crop, Caption Photos Inside Camera

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but Sakar International’s Edit On Demandâ„¢ technology provides the means for generating many thousands more — without ever having to stray from a camera’s digital screen.
Edit On Demand is a revolutionary digital photography technology, developed by Sakar, that promises to reshape the way people create and process their photos. Now available on Sakar International’s new Capture Camâ„¢ digital camera, the patented technology grants a higher level of photographic freedom by enabling users to zoom, crop, modify, add or remove captions, even record audio commentaries to their images, all without altering the original file.
With Edit On Demand, amateur and professional photographers alike can change their image as often as they change their mind, without the need for PCs or workstations and without sacrificing the original picture. The technology’s theme, “Be Original, Keep the Originalâ„¢” says it all.
“Until now, changing photo images was a time consuming, expensive and tedious process that involved external equipment and software. Edit On Demand eliminates those problems forever,” said Ralph Sasson, Chief Operating Officer of Sakar International. “Our company’s leading expertise in camera technology has made Edit On Demand possible, giving users a freedom they never thought possible.”
With Edit On Demand, people don’t have to wait until they return home to improve their pictures. On the road, on vacation, even on the spur of the moment, they can make changes within the camera. If they wish, they can offload the images via Internet or through a photo service, enabling friends and relatives to enjoy the finished photos faster and easier.
What’s more, Edit On Demand supports alterations for special occasions, innovative greeting cards, or picture books. Using the audio annotation feature, photographers can describe their work in their own words, attaching the commentary to each photo for later reference.
Capture Cam
Sakar International’s Capture Camâ„¢ is the first digital camera to use Edit On Demand technology. The compact camera, available in 6.1 and 4.1 megapixel versions, boasts a 1.5 inch color display screen and expandable 32 MB memory. Measuring just 3-1/2 inches wide and 2 inches tall, the Capture Cam features auto focus and 4X zooming capabilities. The camera carries an MSRP of $99.99 (4.1 megapixel) and $129.99 (6.1 megapixel) and will begin shipping in late January. Other Sakar cameras using Edit On Demand technology will be announced in the near future.
