LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4 -- As the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) opens here to record crowds, Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) announced two products that propel picture taking and sharing to new levels:

The KODAK EASYSHARE V570 zoom digital camera is the world’s first dual-lens digital still camera. Using proprietary KODAK RETINA Dual Lens technology, the elegant device ingeniously wraps an ultra-wide angle lens (23 mm) and an optical zoom lens (39 - 117 mm) into a sleek, pocket-size package less than an inch thick.
KODAK Photo Voice combines Kodak’s online picture sharing service -KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery - with Skype global Internet communications. With this free download from www.kodakgallery.com/photovoice, people can share their pictures in real time with friends around the globe using Skype’s free Internet calling service, talking live about the pictures as if they were in the same room.
“CES is the world’s largest, most respected stage for unveiling new products, services and concepts that propel the consumer electronics industry forward, and in turn, improve the lives of millions,” said Kodak Chairman and CEO Antonio M. Perez. “We’re more committed than ever to moving Kodak innovation out of the labs and into the hands of consumers. Our advances are helping people take and share pictures like never before, creating highly personal, highly relevant connections across space and time.”

Mr. Perez will address CES attendees on Friday, January 6, from 11 - 11:45 a.m. Pacific Time, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center (Sands Venetian/Galileo 904) as part of the CES Industry Insiders conference program.
