March 1, 2006 — Nikon, Olympus and Pentax have introduced five digital cameras designed to connect to Kodak’s EASYSHARE printer dock via the IMAGELINK system standard. The IMAGELINK print system, introduced by Kodak and a consortium of leading digital camera manufacturers at Photokina in September 2004, is a standard that allows pictures taken with a digital camera to be printed directly on the KODAK EASYSHARE printer dock.

The newly unveiled IMAGELINK system compatible cameras from Nikon, Olympus and Pentax include :
• NIKON COOLPIX S5 - 6 megapixel, 3X zoom, 2.5” LCD; and COOLPIX S6 - 6 mega pixel, 3X zoom, 3” LCD, Wi-Fi capability.

• OLYMPUS FE-130 –5.1 mega pixel, 3X zoom, 2” LCD; and FE-140, 6 mega pixel, 3X zoom, 2.5” LCD.

• PENTAX OPTIO M10 - 6 mega pixel, 3X zoom, 2.5” LCD.

Each of the five new digital camera models will be shipped with a custom dock insert to ensure a great out-of-the-box consumer experience. All of the cameras are compatible with the KODAK EASYSHARE series 3 printer dock and planned future models. Customer availability of the new cameras is expected to start in March 2006, and distribution will be worldwide.
