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 are new KODAK EASYSHARE C-Series point-and-shoot digital cameras — C360, C330, and C310 models announced today, as well as previously announced C340 and C300 models — plus the KODAK EASYSHARE Printer Dock Series 3 and KODAK EASYSHARE Software. 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 EASYSHARE system has set the tone worldwide for simplified picture taking and printing. These new introductions take simplification a step further, making it even easier to purchase a complete system, without worrying if you have assembled the ‘right’ pieces. We’ve done that work for you.”

According to IDC, Kodak is the leading shipper of digital cameras and snapshot printers in the United States, based on 2004 full-year reporting.

Making the EASYSHARE System Connection – 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.

In the J.D. Power and Associates 2004 Digital Camera Satisfaction Study SM evaluating performance, connectivity, cost and appearance, KODAK EASYSHARE cameras in the $200-399 and $400-599 price ranges were ranked highest in customer satisfaction. Digital cameras in these segments comprise more than 60 percent of the U.S. market, according to data from The NPD Group.
