Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA (October 14, 2003) – SMaL Camera
Technologies, a developer of electronic imaging solutions and the
enabler of award-winning super-thin digital still cameras, announced
today that it was named the #1 Rising Star in the prestigious Deloitte
Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology

designation for fast-growth technology companies that have been in
business for three or four years. Rankings are based on average
percentage of growth in revenues over three years (2000 – 2002).

international acclaim and was named by the Guinness World Records™ 2002 as the
world’s “thinnest camera ever.” More than 1 million cameras employing SMaL’s Ultra-
Pocket technology and design have been released to-date by leading consumer
electronics manufacturers including FujiFilm AXIA, Logitech, Creative Labs, Oregon
Scientific, and specialty retailer RadioShack. The cameras’ unique portability, affordable
retail price point, and long battery life are the perfect combination for the on-the-go
lifestyle of today’s consumer. SMaL recently introduced its next generation Ultra-Pocket
rapid development kit to enable extremely thin 2-megapixel resolution cameras with
LCD display. In the automotive market, SMaL recently announced a design win with
one of the top-five Tier 1 automotive suppliers in the world. SMaL’s Autobrite
