PLUS DK-010 (1997)

Marketed in Japan in July, 1997. The Plus DK-010 is an OEM model from Panasonic and was therefore also marketed as the NV-DC1000 (PV-DC 1000, LK-RQ35ZZ).  At first glance they seem identical but they physically aren't. The Plus is bulkier and the Panasonic slimmer (especially battery compartment and lens section). Both cameras have docking station connectors but due to the differences in body design, the Plus won't fit in the Panasonic's docking station and vice versa. A look inside the Plus camera not only revealed that it was made by Panasonic but also that the LCD screen was made by Casio! PLUS is well known for office meeting/seminar equipment. Apparently the DK-010 was a one-time experiment.
