» Kodak EasyShare C875 Digital Camera

(August 2006)

It was the year 1888 when Kodak came out with their first camera. George Eastman said, "you press the button, we do the rest." The rest, as they say, is history. Well, history seems to be repeating itself with Kodak announcing the latest in their EasyShare lineup. The Kodak EasyShare C875 digital camera comes with an impressive 5x all-glass Schneider-Kreuznach optical zoom and all of 8 megapixels.

Look forward to bigger high-quality prints - now as much as 30" x 40". The camera's smart scene feature selects the best scene mode based on your environment. While other manufacturers are touting bigger preview LCDs (at least 2.8"), Kodak seems to be content with 2.5".

Shoot MPEG4 videos at 30 frames-per-second in VGA (640x480 pixels) resolution. The Kodak Perfect Touch technology delivers better, brighter pictures than with previous models.

Available late August, the Kodak EasyShare C875 8 megapixel digital camera is priced at A$ 399 (US$ 305). Check out the extended entry for the full press release.

Kodak EasyShare C875 Press:

MELBOURNE, Australia, 8 August 2006 — The KODAK EASYSHARE C875 Zoom Digital Camera, with 8.0 MP, 5X all glass SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH optical zoom lens, is an impressively designed and unbelievably equipped offering from Kodak.

“As a leader in the digital camera marketplace, Kodak once again surpasses the competition by designing innovative and powerful cameras,” said Greg McKibbin, CEO and Managing Director of Kodak Australasia. “Kodak continues to raise the bar by providing picture takers with the tools to create high-quality photos, enhancing the overall digital photography experience.”

Easy-to-Use and Packed with Innovative Features

With 8.0 MP and 5X all glass SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH optical zoom lens, the affordable and feature-packed KODAK EASYSHARE C875 Zoom Digital Camera gets consumers closer to their subject and creates exceptional quality prints up to 76 x 102 cm (30” x 40”). Perfect for the second-time buyer, this unique camera combines a sophisticated design with ease of use and captures stunning shots with the smart scene feature – which automatically selects the best scene mode. Viewing these shots is made easier with its large 6.4 cm (2.5”) indoor/outdoor colour display featuring a wide viewing angle.

The camera also boasts KODAK PERFECT TOUCH technology for better, brighter pictures. Picture takers can even capture life in motion with TV quality (VGA) video at 30 fps, and create action prints from video (4, 9 or 16 up), plus view and share single fames while using less memory with MPEG-4 compression.
