Pepsi Chooses DXG Digital Cameras for its 2005 Sierra Mist Lemon Lime Challenge

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA., July 14, 2005 -- DXG USA, one of the fastest growing digital camera manufacturers in the United States, today announced Pepsi (NYSE: PEP) has chosen DXG's popular DXG-305V digital cameras as prizes for its 2005 Sierra Mist Lemon Lime Challenge.

The Sierra Mist Lemon Lime Challenge, similar to the Pepsi Challenge taste test made famous in the 1980s, will occur in public venues across the country through September 11. More information about the event locations and the prizes offered is available at www.sierramist.com. The Sierra Mist Lemon Lime Challenge's grand prize is a lemon or lime colored 2005 Volkswagen Beetle. Second prize is a special lime colored DXG-305V digital video camera.

The DXG-305V is a perfect choice for an active generation because it combines a video camcorder, MP3 player, 3.1 megapixel digital still camera and voice recorder all in one compact design the length and width of a credit card. It has been one of DXG's best selling cameras this year with many retailers selling through their inventory in just days.

"Within 24 hours of its first appearance on television, over 25,000 of the 305V units were sold, with the green version the first to sell out," said Jeff Hansen, Director of Marketing for DXG USA. "Green is definitely one of the coolest, most refreshing colors in consumer electronics today, so I can't imagine a more appropriate camera color for the Sierra Mist Lemon Lime Challenge."
