FACTS AT A GLANCE:
KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS 420 DIGITAL CAMERA

The new Kodak Professional DCS 420 Digital Camera is a high-resolution
megapixel camera that combines superior image quality with ease of use and
portability.

The DCS 420 consists of a special electronic back fixed to the body of a
Nikon N90 camera. It accepts all F-mount lenses offered for the N90, and
offers nearly all of the Nikon's standard SLR features, including
automatic exposure, flash and self-timing.

Built as the successor to Kodak's popular DCS 200 camera--which fit the
body of a Nikon 8008s camera--the DCS 420 includes a number of advanced
features.

* Resolution: The DCS 420 employs a full-frame CCD imager measuring 1524 x
1012 pixels. Total resolution is 1.5 million pixels.

* Dynamic range: The camera captures 12 bits per RGB color (36-bit color),
which offers improved capture of highlights and shadows versus the DCS
200. Software upgrades will allow for full 36-bit transfer.

The DCS 420 offers equivalent ISO ranges of 50 to 400 in color and 100 to
800 in black & white.

* Image storage: Rather than incorporating a built-in hard drive, the DCS
420 supports removable storage media that conforms to the PCMCIA-ATA
standard. This allows users to plug in a variety of compatible hard disk
cards and flash memory cards.

* Power: A single, rechargeable nickel hydride battery pack powers both the
Nikon N90 camera and the electronic camera back. This battery pack
provides 10 times the power of the batteries in the DCS 200, delivering at
least 1000 exposures per charge.

An AC adapter, which also can be used to power the camera, will recharge a
dead battery pack in about an hour. The DCS 420 can be used with the
portable Quantum Battery 5 in applications that require more power
capacity.

* Sound annotation: The DCS 420 offers a built-in microphone that can
record "telephone-quality" audio clips onto the same PCMCIA-ATA cards used
to store images.

* Image capture rate: Time to the first shot is only 0.25 second. The
camera can fire a five-image burst in just 2.25 seconds. The images will
then be loaded to the disc at 2 to 3 seconds per image.

* Interface options: A standard SCSI cable connects the camera directly to
a Macintosh computer or (using a host adapter) to an IBM PC or
compatible.

* Macintosh system requirements: Macintosh II or higher, including all
Powerbook machines. Minimum configuration includes 8 MB RAM, 32-bit
QuickDraw software and Adobe Photoshop software version 1.0 or higher.

* IBM PC and compatible system requirements: 80386 processor or higher.
Minimum configuration includes 8 MB RAM and any TWAIN-compliant
application software.

* SCSI Requirements: Supports standalone Future Domain SCSI adapter and
Adaptec SCSI adapter running EZ-SCSI For Windows.

* Dimensions: The DCS 420 is 6.4 inches wide by 3.5 inches deep by 7.1
inches high. It weighs 3.6 lbs. without a lens or storage card.

* Models: DCS 420c (color), DCS 420m (black & white) and DCS 420IR
(infrared). The IR model is a special order. Lenses and removable storage
media are available separately from Kodak and third parties.

* Availability: Immediate.

* Suggested list price: $10,995 in the United States.
