With the Motozine ZN5 we allow people to unleash their power of curiosity, creativity, impulse and play, whenever the mood strikes. So go and click, capture and share all you want''

Elaborating on the partnership, Ravi Karamcheti, managing director and country business manager, Consumer Digital Imaging Group, Kodak India, said ''Today, Motorola and Kodak have redefined the quality, convenience and connectivity of mobile imaging devices to create a device that not only delivers Kodak-quality pictures, but allows consumers to explore a wide range of options for sharing their photos with friends and family around the world.''
