HOLLYWOOD, Fla.--April 28, 2005--
Paris Hilton Voted the Landslide Winner by Contestants From Around the World Who Entered to Win Concord’s “Wanna-be a Hollywood Diva” Contest Promoting the DVx Digital Video Camera


Concord Camera Corp. (“Concord”) (Nasdaq:LENS), a leader in award-winning, high-quality, affordably-priced image capture solutions, today declared Paris Hilton as the “Ultimate Hollywood Diva” based on entries received by contestants from around the world who entered to win Concord’s “Wanna-be a Hollywood Diva” promotion for the DVx digital video camera. The contest, which concluded March 27th, was an open call to all diva wanna-be’s to vote on who they believe is the ultimate Hollywood diva, and a chance to win a trip to Hollywood, California and a one-of-a-kind, Swarovski bejeweled Diva Edition DVx digital video camera.

The DVx, called the “Swiss army knife” of digital cameras, is a 6-in-1 multimedia digital video camera that takes digital photos and video clips; is an MP3 player; voice recorder; and has a nifty little flashlight for night-time video shooting. A pocket-sized device, the DVx is ultra slim and stylish with dimensions of only 4.1“ x 0.6” x 2.4" (62 x 16 x 103 mm). The DVx is available in white and comes with a 128MB SD memory card.

“It’s no surprise that Paris Hilton was voted by our contestants as the Ultimate Hollywood Diva,” said Michelle Beauchamp, Director of Marketing Communications. “She has a great personality, a unique sense of style, and has been spotted by fans and paparazzi accessorizing with bejeweled electronics. In fact, in honor of being named the Ultimate Hollywood Diva, we will be sending Paris her very own one-of-a-kind Swarovski crystallized DVx.” Contestants who entered to win and voted for Paris had this to say about why they chose her as the Ultimate Hollywood Diva:

-- “She has awesome style, she made her career from party girl to one of the most interesting people of 2004, SHE CAN SHOP, she’s the ultimate socialite, she has her own show, and she even has her own phrase - that’s hot!”

-- “She is always stylish and looks stunning”

-- “She sports only fashions from the top designers, and she claims to never wear the same outfit twice. She dines at the top restaurants, carries the latest electronic gadgets, is always ready to pose for the paparazzi.”

The winner of the contest has been selected and will not only receive diva-like treatment during a weekend trip for two to Hollywood, California, but will look like a diva carrying their one-of-a-kind Swarovski crystallized DVx digital video camera. Crystallized electronics are the hottest “Bling-Bling” craze among young Hollywood movie stars today. The DVx digital video camera is cool enough for a movie star but is priced for a fan at only $199.00. The DVx will be available for sale on QVC on Sunday, May 1st at 2:00 p.m.
