Concord 3346z Wins Best Sub-$100 Digicam Award

3 Megapixel Digital Camera Wins for Best Quality and Color Accuracy

Orlando, FL, February 21, 2005 - Concord Camera Corp. ("Concord") (Nasdaq:LENSE), a leader in award-winning, high-quality, affordably-priced cameras, announced today at the Photo Marketing Association Trade Show & Exposition (PMA) that the Concord 3346z 3 Megapixel point & shoot digital camera has won the coveted DIMA Shoot-Out for “Best Digital Camera under $100.”

In its 9th year, the DIMA Digital Camera Shoot-out is judged by a panel of experts prior to PMA. These experts vote on digital camera entries, reviewing the overall quality and accuracy of color of the digital prints as compared to the samples of fabrics that were worn by studio models during shooting. The DIMA Shoot-Out was designed in such a way as to replicate the environment and applications in which digital cameras are typically used. Within that environment, DIMA attempts to push the cameras to their natural limits.

“We are extremely pleased to be honored by DIMA,” said Jeff Mandell, VP of Worldwide Marketing. “It means a lot to all of our dedicated employees around the world to win an industry award like this. Going forward, we will continue to strive to deliver great, easy-to-use products at popular prices.”
