About the Kodak Award Winners
The KODAK EASYSHARE-ONE digital camera combines the power of sharing, taking, organizing, and printing pictures into a single, highly innovative product. Only the EASYSHARE-ONE camera has the ability to send e-mail from the camera, to connect to the KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery at home and on-the-go from thousands of hotspots worldwide, to store up to 1,500 favorite pictures, and to optimize viewing and operation via its unique touch screen and graphical menus. It is the ultimate picture sharing device, redefining the digital photography experience.

The universal KODAK EASYSHARE Photo Printer 500 brings the benefits of real KODAK pictures at home to virtually all digital camera and camera phone owners -- with or without a computer. People who use CANON, SONY, OLYMPUS, NIKON, HP and other camera brands can experience the same great quality that EASYSHARE camera owners have enjoyed for the past two years. The Photo Printer 500 makes real KODAK pictures easily, directly, and consistently from virtually any digital media in about 60 seconds, including most popular memory cards (SD, MMC, CF, xD-Picture Card, MEMORY STICK), USB flash memory devices, PICTBRIDGE enabled digital cameras, mobile devices enabled with BLUETOOTH(R) wireless technology, and Wi-Fi enabled computers (optional KODAK WI-FI(R) card required for the printer). People can also view and edit their pictures on the integrated 3.5-inch LCD screen.

With KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery Premier Service, subscribers receive a personalized Web site address (e.g., www.kodakgallery.com/YourName) that features their own photos and captions. In addition, Gallery Premier puts photos in the center of the conversation by allowing family and friends to post comments. Subscribers also receive one click publishing of albums from an existing Gallery account, and the ability to download high-resolution photos in just one click.

The sleek KODAK EASYSHARE V550 camera -- about the size of a deck of cards -- breaks new ground in blending video and still photography. For the first time, videos can be automatically turned into stop-action still pictures perfect for printing and sharing. Avoid on-screen shaking with built-in image stabilization technology, and zoom in on video subjects in real time using the professional-caliber SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH lens to record longer, TV-quality videos with sound -- up to 80 continuous minutes -- while using less memory storage *. In addition to its high-end video performance, the V550 model captures all moments with 5MP resolution and its pro-caliber, SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH C-VARIOGON 3X optical zoom lens.

The innovative KODAK EASYSHARE digital photography system -- consisting of cameras, viewers, services, software, docks, home snapshot printers, papers and accessories -- makes taking, organizing, sharing, and printing high quality digital pictures effortless.
