New Digicam Standard to Drive Printer Docks

By Greg Scoblete -- TWICE, 10/11/2004

Cologne, Germany — Several leading digital camera manufacturers announced a new product specification called Imagelink that would allow new digital cameras to work with future Kodak printer docks.

Kodak, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sanyo — a major digital camera OEM — have signed onto the new system and plan to offer digital cameras in the first quarter of 2005 that are Imagelink compliant.

For cameras and printers it will mean a small 26-pin connector to ensure interoperability. With the system, users place the camera in a compliant printer dock, press a single button and a 4-inch by 6-inch or 3.5-inch by 5-inch print will be produced.
