Hollywood, FL, January 29, 2004 - Concord Camera Corp. ("Concord") (NASDAQ: LENS) announced today that Popular Mechanics Magazine has awarded it the prestigious "Editor's Choice" Award for the Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless, the first 2 Megapixel Bluetooth™ enabled digital camera. The award was presented at Popular Mechanics' annual event at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless was one of only 18 products selected out of the hundreds of new products shown at CES, and the only camera to receive an "Editor's Choice" award.

In addition to the Popular Mechanics award, the Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless and the Concord Eye-Q 4360z received nominations for Tech TV's Best of CES 2004 award for "The Coolest Gear," which was voted on by the editors of Maxim Magazine, PC World and Penthouse.
