Introduction
Eastman Kodak Company is making it simple and quick to shoot, print and share real Kodak pictures, thanks to innovative new packages that combine award-winning EasyShare digital cameras, printer docks, and software. With an entire snap-to-print solution in just one box, Kodak is making it effortless to buy a complete personal photography system, and to begin sharing pictures within minutes of returning home from the store, with or without a computer. Included in these packages is a new Kodak EasyShare C330 digital camera, as well as previously announced C340 and C300 models, plus the Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3 and Kodak EasyShare Software. Simple Simply by placing the camera on the printer dock and pressing one button, people can make a real Kodak picture in as little as 90 seconds. Packages range from US$239 to US$379. "Kodak EasyShare Digital Photo Solutions are the answer for busy parents, grandparents, and others making the jump into the world of digital photography," said Mary Hadley, general manager for digital still cameras, Eastman Kodak Company. "Since 2001, the Kodak EasyShare system has set the tone worldwide for simplified picture taking and printing." Printer dock series 3 The Kodak EasyShare C330 camera and Printer Dock system (US$279 MSRP) is an all-around system for a variety of picture taking and sharing experiences. Ideal for people on the go, the C330 rear-panel controls provide easy access to the camera's features, including on-camera cropping and red-eye reduction. The Kodak C330 also boasts 4.0 Megapixel resolution and a Kodak Retinar 3X optical zoom lens for beautiful prints. The Kodak EasyShare C330 and Printer Dock Series 3 combination will be available beginning in July 2005. The camera is also available separately for US$179 MSRP. Snapshot printers and Software In January, Kodak announced the Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3, the first snapshot picture printer to support the new Imagelink print system, working with EasyShare cameras and other manufacturers' compatible cameras (plus support for PictBridge technology and memory card readers). The Printer Dock Series 3 prints real Kodak 4 x 6-inch pictures with just one touch in as little as 90 seconds, with or without a computer. Its phenomenal image quality, combined with portability, makes it useful in both the living room and 'on the road' at parties, family gatherings or other special occasions. Thanks to the combination of convenience, speed, ease-of-use and compatibility with multiple camera brands, Kodak has shipped more than two million EasyShare printer docks worldwide since mid-2003, making it one of the world's best selling snapshot printers. Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems provides effortless digital picture organization, editing, sharing and printing, as well as built-in CD burning. The exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature takes advantage of proprietary color technologies developed by Kodak to help users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from inkjet printers. Kodak EasyShare Software is now among the most widely used picture software titles in the world, with more than 22 million consumers enjoying its features.
