AVENEL, NEW JERSEY February 8, 2010 — Asserting that today’s pocket video camera buyers are looking for power solutions as flexible and innovative as the cameras themselves, Mizco International’s DIGIPOWER Division will take the wraps off its new line up of uniquely designed, high performance P-CAM power chargers at PMA 2010 in Tech Suite 108 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
