Concord Announces the EYE-Q 3341z

January 2004 - Concord announced at CES in Las Vegas the CONCORD EYE-Q 3341z, featuring a 3.1 Megapixel CCD sensor, 3X optical/4X digital zoom (total 12x zoom), 16MB internal memory and AVI video clips at a suggested retail price of only $179. With the Concord Eye-Q 3341z, Concord is leading the drive towards lower cost, easier to use cameras for new digital camera buyers.

The Concord Eye-Q 3341z is especially attractive to less experienced users because of its economical cost and ease of use. With only a few buttons and a lay-out design easily accessible with a thumb, the camera takes only minutes to learn how to use. 16MB of internal memory are already loaded in the camera, so users can start shooting right when they get the camera -- even if they forget to bring memory cards, don’t want to use memory cards, or the card is full. The camera’s SD memory card slot also allows for unlimited photo taking with an SD card and the preset exposure settings: Party/Indoor, Beach/Snow, Night Landscape, Sunset, Fireworks, and Night Portrait makes photo taking easy.

Two rechargeable NiMH AA batteries and a four battery charger are included with the camera to make it a more economical purchase, since there is no need to buy batteries. Consumers don’t have to worry when to replace a battery with Concord’s power meter continuously displaying battery-life on the LCD screen.

Video is a popular feature for Concord’s users. High quality AVI video clips can be captured at 320x240 resolution at 30 frames per second. Many popular cameras offer video capture at only 16 frames per second. The length of video capture is only limited by the memory card size. Playback can be viewed either on the camera’s 1.5” TFT LCD or a TV Monitor with the included TV cable. The Continuous Shooting Mode captures a maximum of 7 images at approximately 3 images per second for sporting events and action shots when there’s no time to repeatedly press the shutter button.

The Concord Eye-Q 3341z is low cost but extremely powerful. It incorporates Concord-developed optics and advanced technology to produce larger, more refined photo enlargements while still retaining excellent resolution. A macro focus range of approximately 10 cm allows details to be seen in close up shots of the smallest items like insects, plants, and other miniature objects.

The Concord Eye-Q 3341z is now available at a suggested retail price of $179. It includes rechargeable NiMH AA batteries, a battery charger, ArcSoft Photo Impression 2000, DirectX 9.0, Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.1, a Multi-User’s Guide, a Mini-USB cable, a TV cable, a wrist strap, and a pouch. The camera is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP and Mac OS 9.0 and higher. For more information, see www.concord-camera.com.
