CONCORD CAMERA CORP. WINS AMERICAN PHOTO MAGAZINE’S EDITOR’S CHOICE AWARD
5 Megapixel Digital Camera Wins for the Most Pixels for the Price
Hollywood, FL, December 29, 2004 - Concord Camera Corp. (“Concord”) (Nasdaq:LENSE), a leader in award-winning, high-quality, affordably-priced cameras, announced today that the Concord Eye-Q 5062 has won the coveted American Photo “Editor’s Choice” Award.
In awarding the Concord Eye-Q 5062 with their prestigious Editor’s Choice, American Photo stated, “In terms of pixels per penny, it’s hard to beat this five-megapixel single-focal-length entry – and you also get 16MB of internal memory to back up your SD card, continuous shooting and macro modes, and 30fps video at QVGA, with sound.”
The Concord Eye-Q 5062 offers a unique combination of a high resolution 5 Megapixel CCD sensor with a 6x digital zoom, at a value price of only $179.99. The camera provides users with the flexibility of selecting among six image resolution choices (VGA, 1.2, 2, 3.1, 4, and 5 MP), depending on how the image will be used, such as for printing or emailing. The 5062 also features a large 1.8 inch LCD, auto flash and five user selectable flash modes, along with seven preset scene modes for perfect exposure for beach/snow, party/indoor, sunset, night landscape, night portrait, fireworks and sports. These combined features provide the user with the simplicity of selecting a scene mode appropriate for the situation and just shooting, while obtaining the perfect exposure/shutter speed and flash for each scene.
“We are extremely pleased to be honored by such a prestigious magazine as American Photo,” said Jeff Mandell, VP of Worldwide Marketing for Concord Camera Corp. “The Concord Eye-Q 5062 offers unsurpassed value, combining the power of an advanced 5 Megapixel digital camera with the ease of use and affordable price consumers expect from Concord.”
