- Technology for thin-walled magnesium casing recognized worldwide
-
The highest award (Design Award) of the IMA (International Magnesium Association) was presented for this technology in May 2004.The technical prize was awarded by the Japan Magnesium Association in June 2004. The design technology of the LCD rear panel, which is made of a thin-walled magnesium plate, has also been acknowledged.

- A lightweight body that is easily carried all day
-
Our dedication to newer and better technology has made possible a thin magnesium alloy body, thin LCD glass, and a lightweight Shell Drive unit that integrates the drive and body, together with our continuous efforts to reduce component size - down to the length of the screws we use.
See the secrets of lightweight design.
The Shell Drive is more than 75% lighter than the tray type. Ruggedness and space saving are both improved by this design.-
-
Less than 25% of the tray-type drive in weight. Approximately 45.9g(CF-W8*)
Lightweight is realized by eliminating part of the tray and case section.
The CF-W8 has become even lighter by using a new drive unit.
*CF-F8 series is 50.5g. 
-
Structure unified with the main frame increases overall strength.
-
No space required for the tray drawer.
Since excess space isn't required, disc removal and insertion is smooth.
