The Best Magazine Awards were presented at the DigitalFocus(TM) 2004 event
in Las Vegas prior to the Photo Marketing Association 2004 trade show.
According to Best Magazine, the awards honor companies for their outstanding
digital imaging products. The Gateway DC-T50 beat out such long-time industry
heavyweights as Olympus, Kodak, Minolta, Fujifilm, HP and Pentax, who were all
named finalists in the Consumer Digital Camera category.
"This continues to be an amazing year for digital imaging -- and Gateway's
award is well deserved," said John Kelley, editor of Best Magazine. "The
Gateway DC-T50 digital camera was chosen for its superb image quality, easy-
to-use design and a groundbreaking price point for a fully-featured
5.25 megapixel camera."
Since it was launched in August of last year, the Gateway DC-T50 has
received many awards and accolades from industry critics. At only $299.99
after $50 mail-in rebate(1), the 5.25 megapixel camera delivers image quality
and a feature set typically reserved for more expensive cameras. The compact
camera boasts an easy-to-use interface and sleek design weighing only
6.3-ounces, making it the ideal choice for consumers who want a camera that's
convenient to take anywhere.
Matt Milne, Gateway's senior vice president and general manager of
consumer solutions, stated, "We can deliver the latest technology at
unprecedented prices due to the strength and efficiency of the Gateway
business model. Best Magazine's award reinforces what consumers have already
said -- the best place to get an easy-to-use, feature-rich digital camera is
from Gateway."
The Gateway DC-T50 and many other digital cameras are available in stock
at the more than 185 Gateway stores nationwide, by calling 1-800-GATEWAY, and

standard limited warranties, and additional service and support options are
