LAS VEGAS -- Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) and Lexar Media, Inc. (Nasdaq:LEXR) today introduced KODAK High Performance memory cards designed for digital camera owners who require high-speed processing for rapid-fire still shooting, high frame rate video capture, and fast computer transfer. Initially available in SD (Secure Digital) format, KODAK High Performance flash memory cards, offered by Lexar, are ideal for users of all SD format digital cameras with both still and video capture capabilities.

"By offering SD High Performance cards, we're improving the overall experience for people who want to capture and store their memories with both still images and video," said Claudio D'Amico, general manager, worldwide memory business, Eastman Kodak Company. "Recreational picture takers want to pick up their digital camera and instantly 'freeze' a moment in time.

KODAK memory cards -- including the new SD High Performance cards -- help people have greater confidence that their treasured digital pictures and videos are stored safely with state-of-the-art technology.

"As part of a multi-year agreement announced in mid-2004, Lexar and Kodak are co-marketing a full range of memory cards," said Tessa Board, vice president and general manager, Kodak Business Unit, Lexar. "These memory cards offer dealers innovative, trustworthy, advanced flash memory products customers have traditionally come to expect from Kodak."

The High Performance flash memory cards will be shown in Lexar's booth at CES #30723, South Hall.
