The newest digital camera from Eastman Kodak Company puts digital imaging within the budget of more Americans, just in time for the holiday picture-taking season. The new Kodak DC3200 combines 1-megapixel resolution and a 2X digital zoom in an easy-to-use package, all for less than $250. The images it captures are perfect for e-mailing or printing at sizes up to 5 x 7 inches.

"The Kodak DC3200 digital camera will put digital picture-making into the hands of many more people this holiday season," said Philip Gerskovich, Kodak vice president, Digital & Applied Imaging. "It brings the most popular benefits of digital cameras - instant image viewing, simple operation and easy transfer - at a very affordable price point."

Designed with unintimidating ease-of-use, the DC3200 digital camera will appeal especially to picture-takers buying their first digital camera.
