                                  THE COMPANY

          The Company designs, manufactures and sells digital cameras and
associated hardware and software products primarily for use with personal
computers. Products currently being sold by the Company include battery powered
(portable) and stationary digital cameras, digital camera subsystems and
modules, various electronic camera accessories, and both commercial and
proprietary software for digital camera management. The Company also offers
editing, formatting, storage, and printing software, and provides software
integration tools to third parties who wish to utilize the Company's products in
their own systems. Additionally, the Company provides engineering services in
order to design electronic photography systems that meet customers' specialized
imaging needs, and licenses the rights to manufacture and sell digital cameras
which use the Company's technology.

          The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1988 and has been
providing standardized and custom designed digital imaging solutions to a
variety of customers and markets since 1991. The Company was acquired by Styles
on Video, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Styles") in February 1994. Styles
distributed approximately 45 percent of the capital stock of the Company owned
by it to Styles' stockholders through an underwritten rights offering in June
1994 (the "Rights Offering").

          The Company's executive offices are located at 9414 Eton Avenue,
Chatsworth, California 91311, telephone (818) 998-8008.


                                 RISK FACTORS

          Investment in the Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree
of risk. Investors should carefully consider the following factors, among
others, in evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing the Common
Stock offered by this Prospectus.

          Controlling Stockholder; Affiliated Party Transactions; Conflicts of
Interest. The Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Styles in February
1994. As a consequence of the underwritten rights offering which was effected in
July 1994, Styles currently owns approximately 55% of the Common Stock and will
remain in a position to control the policies and operations of the Company.
Certain officers and directors of Styles are directors of the Company. In
addition, the Company plans to grant certain officers and directors of Styles
options to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company's stock incentive
plan. Styles and the Company have engaged in, and will continue to engage in,
certain transactions with each other.

          There are potential conflicts of interest inherent in such
relationships and transactions. The respective Boards of Directors of Styles and
the Company have established a Policy Review Committee to review transactions
between these corporations. The purpose of the Policy Review Committee, which
has advisory authority only, is to review any transaction proposed to be entered
into between Styles and the Company to determine whether a conflict of interest
exists and the manner in which any such conflict can be resolved. The Policy
Review Committee then makes a recommendation to each of the Boards of Directors
as to the course of action which should be taken. The Policy Review Committee
consists of one director of each of Styles and the Company who is not also an
officer or employee of either company, and a non-voting chairman.

          Management believes that all transactions between the Company and
Styles to date have been conducted on terms which are equitable to both parties.

          Success of Third Party Transactions. The Company anticipates that
a substantial portion of its future revenues will be derived from its
relationship with Forever Yours, Inc. ("FYI"), a subsidiary of Styles. FYI is
engaged in the hospital newborn baby photography business. FYI utilizes a custom
designed digital camera the core element of which is a specialized digital
camera subsystem engineered and produced by the Company under an exclusive
contract with FYI. In addition to the sale of cameras to FYI, the Company's
arrangement with FYI provides that, in exchange

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
for certain development and maintenance services, the Company is entitled to a
7.5% royalty on all FYI sales. FYI is still in the early stages of its corporate
development and is thus, in part, dependent on third party financing. FYI's
failure to secure such financing or develop its business and consequent
inability to purchase the Company's products and provide the Company with a
continuing revenue stream could have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.

          Certain Debt Obligations. In December 1994, the Company made a secured
loan of $500,000 to Styles. The Company determined that it was in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders that it make this loan, which
enabled Styles to continue funding FYI's operations and the development and
manufacture of the digital camera utilized therein. In January 1995 the Company
approved an additional secured loan to Styles of $500,000. The two loans
totaling $1,000,000 have been memorialized in a single note (the "Note") which
originally provided that the entire principal balance plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon were due and payable on September 1, 1995. The Company
subsequently extended the maturity date of the Note to December 31, 1998. All
interest payments under the Note have been made in a timely fashion by Styles.
The Note is secured by 1,916,667 shares of Common Stock owned by Styles. Styles
has borrowed certain additional funds from third parties. Such third party loans
are secured by all of Styles' assets. Such third party loans contain stringent
financial covenants, which Styles may not be able to satisfy. If Styles defaults
on these third party loans and its assets are seized, there is a substantial
likelihood that the Note will not be repaid and the Company will be entitled to
receive the 1,916,667 shares of Common Stock owned by Styles. Notwithstanding
the delivery of the 1,916,667 shares of Common Stock, the failure of Styles to
repay the Note in a timely fashion could have a material adverse impact on the
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

          History of Losses; Variability of Operating Results. The Company has
experienced losses in each quarter of 1994 and 1995, and the Company's revenues
and operating results have varied from period to period. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be profitable in the future or that future
revenues and operating results will not vary substantially. Future revenues and
profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including, but not limited
to, market acceptance of the Company's current products, the ability of the
Company to develop and introduce new products or to develop new markets for its
existing products and the successful implementation of its planned marketing
strategies. If the Company is not able to achieve its operating objectives the
Company may find it necessary to reduce its expenditures for sales, marketing,
and research and development, or undertake such other actions as may be
appropriate, and may be otherwise unable to achieve its goals.

          Volatility of Stock Price. The Company's stock price has been, and is
likely to continue to be, highly volatile. The market price of the Common Stock
has fluctuated substantially in recent periods. During the 12 months prior to
the date of this Prospectus, the Company's market price has ranged from a low of
$0.38 per share to a high of $2.63 per share. Future announcements concerning
the Company or its competitors, quarterly variations in operating results and
introduction of new products or changes in product pricing policies by the
Company or its competitors may affect or be perceived to affect the Company's
operations. Further, changes in earnings estimates by analysts, among other
factors, could cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate
substantially. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and
volume volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect
on the market prices of securities of many smaller public companies for reasons
frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies.
These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the
Common Stock.

          Market for the Company's Products. The Company's business strategy
centers around the sale of digital cameras and supporting software to customers
requiring custom engineering of digital cameras to meet specific performance
criteria. Although the Company believes that the digital photography business is
a growth industry and that digital photography may eventually replace
conventional and other forms of electronic photography (e.g., still video
cameras and camcorders) in situations where there is a need to combine images
with computers, digital cameras are not today a widely used image capturing
device. While digital technology is constantly improving, the image quality
produced by most digital cameras (including those produced by the Company)
cannot compete with that generated by conventional film cameras. In addition,
digital cameras are today far more expensive than most film and other

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
electronic cameras. Although there are advantages to the use of digital cameras
as compared to film cameras, no assurance can be given that digital photography
will ultimately achieve widespread consumer acceptance. Further, even if a
market for digital cameras does develop, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to successfully target customers which require custom
camera engineering or that its products will achieve commercial success in such
market niche.

          Competition. The Company anticipates that it will experience
substantial competition. The Company believes that it is the only company in
existence today which focuses entirely upon the design, development, manufacture
and sale of digital cameras, supporting software and digital imaging solutions.
However, other companies do manufacture and market digital cameras. The Company
recognizes that as digital photography achieves increasing acceptance and the
industry grows, competition will become increasingly intense. Existing
competitors can be expected to expand their digital camera operations and new
competitors may enter the market. Many of the existing competitors have
significantly greater financial, marketing and technological resources than the
Company. Some of the products manufactured by the Company's competitors are
significantly more expensive than the Company's cameras and provide features
(including higher quality resolution) that make these products appropriate for
applications for which the Company's products are not intended. The Company
believes that the flexibility of its products combined with the Company's
experience in developing custom imaging solutions for its customers will enable
it to work with its customers to design digital photography-based systems which
serve such customers specific needs. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to compete effectively or that competition will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results
and financial condition.

          Rapid Technological Change and New Products. As a growth industry,
digital still photography can be expected to be characterized by rapid
technological change and new product introductions. As technological changes
occur and as other applications for the Company's products develop, the Company
may have to modify its technology in order to keep pace with these changes and
developments. Although the Company intends to continue to improve and add to its
existing products, there can be no assurance that the Company's competitors will
not develop products with superior capabilities and/or market them at lower
prices or that the Company will be able to identify, develop, manufacture or
support new products successfully. There can also be no assurance that any such
new products introduced by the Company will gain market acceptance, or that the
Company will be able to respond effectively to technological changes or the
introduction of new products by competitors.

          Reliance on Third Parties for Component Parts. The Company relies on
third parties to supply the component parts which comprise its cameras. While
there are several sources of supply for the majority of these component parts,
the Company is dependent upon single overseas sources for both the main optics
of the cameras and Charge-Coupled Devices ("CCDs"), the image sensor used in
digital cameras. In addition, the microprocessor that operates the Company's
cameras is a custom part manufactured for the Company by a major U.S.
corporation. Any disruption of the Company operations of these third party
manufacturers or discontinuance of the supply of the optics, the CCDs or the
microprocessors could cause substantial production delays and materially and
adversely affect the Company's business, operating results and financial
condition. Additionally, the overseas manufacture of the optics and CCD
components of the cameras may subject the Company to additional risks, including
import and export controls and changes in governmental policies.

          Internal Accounting.  In order to help control operating expenses, the
Company relies upon its President to perform its internal accounting functions.
The Company intends to hire a Chief Financial Officer at such time as the
Company's revenues and cash flow permit the hiring of additional officers. No
assurance can be given that the Company will ever generate sufficient revenues
and cash flow to hire a Chief Financial Officer and even if sufficient monies
are available that the Company will be able to locate and hire a qualified
candidate. The lack of a Chief Financial Officer may have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

          Effect of Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Company's Board of Directors
has the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and to
determine the price, rights, preferences and privileges of those shares 

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
without any further vote or action by the Company's stockholders. The rights of
the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected
by, the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock. While the Company has no
present intention to issue shares of Preferred Stock, such issuance, while
providing desirable flexibility in connection with the possible acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of the Company and entrenching existing
management. In addition, such Preferred Stock may have other rights, including
economic rights senior to the Common Stock, and, as a result, the issuance
thereof could have a material adverse effect on the market value of the Common
Stock.

          A number of provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
and By-Laws and certain Delaware laws and regulations relating to matters of
corporate governance, certain rights of Directors and the issuance of preferred
stock without stockholder approval, may be deemed to have and may have the
effect of making more difficult, and thereby discouraging, a merger, tender
offer, proxy contest or assumption of control and change of incumbent
management, even when stockholders other than the Company's principal
stockholders consider such a transaction to be in their best interest.

          Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's continued success is
dependent in part upon key management personnel, including John A. Edling and
George Ismael. Mr. Edling is the Company's President and Mr. Ismael is its Vice
President of Engineering. The Company has employment contracts with Messrs.
Edling and Ismael which expire in 1997. Additionally, the Company has obtained
key man life insurance on Messrs. Edling and Ismael in the amount of $2 million
each. The Company's success will also depend, in part, on its ability to attract
and retain technical, management and marketing personnel of a high caliber.
Competition for such personnel is intense and no assurance can be given that the
Company will be able to attract and retain such personnel. Failure to attract
and retain key personnel will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.

          Proprietary Protection. The Company relies on a combination of patent,
copyright, trademark protection and non-disclosure agreements to protect its
proprietary rights. The Company is the assignee of United States Patent
5,249,053, which covers certain technologies related to filmless digital cameras
with selective image compression. In addition, the Company has filed
applications for several patents on the design of its camera; however, no
assurance can be given that any such patents will be issued. The Company also
has domestic and international protection under copyright law for certain
specialized components and software included in its cameras. The Company regards
the non-patented and non-copyrighted technology and know-how related to its
products as proprietary trade secrets and attempts to protect them with
confidentiality agreements with its employees and confidentiality provisions in
its employee handbook and its various agreements with licensees and customers.
Confidentiality agreements, however, may be difficult to enforce, and, despite
the precautions the Company has taken, it may be possible for third parties to
copy aspects of the Company's products or, without authorization, to obtain and
use information which the Company regards as proprietary. The Company believes
that the technical and creative skills and expertise of its technical staff and
marketing and management personnel are more critical to the Company's success
than patent, copyright or trademark protection.

          International Operations. During 1994 and 1995, approximately 9% and
12%, respectively, of the Company's revenues were derived from sales outside the
United States. The Company expects that international operations will continue
to account for a significant portion of its future revenues. International
operations and sales may be subject to political and economic risks, including
political instability, currency controls, exchange rate fluctuations and changes
in import/export regulations, tariffs and freight rates. In addition, various
forms of protectionist trade legislation have been proposed in the United States
and certain other countries. These factors could result in customers of the
Company defaulting in payments due to the Company, or in the reduction of
potential purchases of the Company's products. Typically, the Company's
international sales are denominated in United States dollars and are backed by
letters of credit, both of which factors reduce some of the risks attendant to
such sales.

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the
Company may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to a
"proceeding" (including a law suit or derivative action) because of his
position, if he acted in good faith in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful, and may advance expenses incurred in defending any
proceeding in certain cases. If the director or officer is successful on the
merits or otherwise, he must be indemnified against all expenses actually and
reasonably incurred. If the officer or director is adjudged liable, indemnity
can be made only by court order.

          The Company has also entered into an indemnity agreement (the
"Indemnity Agreement") with its directors which provides for mandatory indemnity
of an officer or director made party to a "proceeding" by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director of the Company, if he or she acted in good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company. The Indemnity Agreement also obligates the
Company to advance expenses to a director provided that he or she is not
entitled to partial indemnification, and indemnification for expenses incurred
as a result of acting at the request of the Company as a director, officer or
agent of an employee benefit plan or other partnership, corporation, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise owned or controlled by the Company.

ITEM 16.  EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.

          See the Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to the appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

               (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

               (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;

               (iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously discussed in the Registration Statement of
any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

          (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
