London, ENGLAND — Digital Dream Co., distributor of Microtek digital
cameras in Europe, has inked a deal with PhotoAccess.com Corp.

FNAC, Comet and Jessups.

The new services from Seattle-based PhotoAccess.com will enable

future of digital camera usage in Europe.

Christine MacSween, managing director of Digital Dream, commented
that her company is currently selling thousands of digital cameras
a week through its retail partners.

“By adding a photo finishing solution, and offering coupons for
low-priced digital prints in every camera box, we expect to hasten
camera adoption and significantly improve the out-of-box experience
for the consumer,” said MacSween.

The new service is expected to into operation during May 2001.
It will give users the opportunity of downloading a free copy of

prints for home delivery and creating personalized Web albums
