RCA EZ101 Small Wonder News Release Summary:
Sleek, Handheld Camcorder Ideal for School Events, Wedding
Receptions
NEW YORK, May 3, 2006 - Responding to consumer demand for
affordable, high-quality, and convenient home video recording
product, RCA is introducing the EZ101 - the first in a new
lineup of digital camcorders under the RCA Small Wonder banner.
Available in May at a suggested retail price of $129, the
remarkable RCA Small Wonder allows anyone to easily capture
video to share with friends and family. Compact enough to fit in
a pocket or small purse, and without batteries to charge or
tapes to carry around, the RCA Small Wonder is always ready for
use to capture any special moment. Whether you are spontaneously
recording everyday experiences or recording memorable occasions
such as wedding receptions, and school and sports activities, it
is as simple as turning on the EZ101 and touching the red record
button.
Sharing Small Wonder videos is easy, too. The RCA Small Wonder
connects directly to a TV set for immediate viewing. It also
plugs into a PC with a built-in connector (with no need for
installing software with a CD ROM) for compressing, archiving,
and e-mailing favorite videos to friends.
The RCA Small Wonder was developed using the Pure Digital® Video
Platform from Pure Digital Technologies. Pure Digital is a
pioneer in creating simple and affordable digital imaging
solutions for mass-market consumers. The Pure Digital® Video
Platform provides innovative on-camera software for instant
video saving and sharing with a PC, and enables the camcorder to
be taken to any of the 8,000 Pure Digital retail partner
locations including any CVS/Pharmacy, Rite Aid, Ritz or Wolf
Camera for 1-hour DVD processing
Survey Says: Short Videos are Best
A recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive® and
commissioned by RCA found that 58 percent of adult women in the
U.S. between the ages of 18 and 34 indicate they typically use a
camcorder to record activities that are 30 minutes or less of
continuous recording time. The same survey also indicates that
more than half (545%) of all U.S. adult women surveyed believe
that there is no such thing as an inexpensive camcorder.
The new line of RCA Small Wonder camcorders is aimed at market
segments not well-served by today's complex camcorder products
including women, kids and grandparents. The RCA Small Wonder is
ideal for capturing short video segments such as a star
performance in the school play or a winning goal on the field.
Designed with convenience in mind, the EZ101 RCA Small Wonder
camcorder operates on conventional AA batteries, and stores up
to 30 minutes of video. Consumers can learn more about the RCA
Small Wonder at www.mysmallwonder.com, including product details
tips for using the RCA Small Wonder and upcoming promotions.
The RCA Small Wonder is the perfect solution for the entire
family, remarked Dan Collishaw, Chief Operating Officer of
Thomson's Americas Audio/Video and Accessory businesses. For
many, simplicity is the best option when it comes to home video,
and we are convinced that there is a tremendous market for the
RCA Small Wonder lineup of affordable, digital camcorders that
begins with the EZ101.
Focus groups conducted by RCA this spring confirm what consumers
are thinking about capturing moments of their busy lives on
video:
"I wished I used my camcorder more"
"My camcorder is still big and bulky"
"I want it where you could just pick it up, push a couple of
buttons"
Recorded video is archived as clips that consumers can play back
on the RCA Small Wonder's 1.5-inch LCD screen, and unwanted
clips can be deleted right from the unit with just the touch of
a button. The 30 frames per second video files are created as
MPEG4 compressed Audio Video Interface files, a format that can
be easily manipulated. The RCA Small Wonder EZ101 ships with a
full accessory kit including a soft velvet carrying case, wrist
strap, AA batteries, and a TV/AV output cable to allow easy
connection to a television.
A second model, EZ102, will be available later this summer and
features additional accessories.
