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.”

FEATURES

The 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 camera 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. The camera is also available separately for US$179 MSRP.

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.
