Graz, Austria - June 9, 2010 - Aero-Photo (1961) Inc. has contracted with Vexcel Imaging GmbH, a Microsoft® company, to purchase an additional UltraCamLp medium-format camera system. This purchase closely follows the purchase of two UltraCamLp and one UltraCamXp large-format camera system in March 2010.

Aero-Photo is continuing the process of repositioning itself in the North American market by investing in the up-to-date technical resources available. The company will use the new camera to provide aerial data collection services for forest inventories, mapping, engineering, mining and corridors.

"Our latest acquisition of an UltraCamLp camera will provide Aero-Photo (1961) with more flexibility to respond quickly to the needs of our customers,¡± stated Mr. Paul Grenier, President of Aero-Photo (1961) Inc. ¡°We feel that it is important to have adequate resources to run multiple projects simultaneously to keep up with the growing demand for aerial acquisition."

The UltraCamLp is a unique camera system addressing the medium-format market with large-format image quality and efficiency; it is also suitable for smaller aircraft and projects requiring a rapid response. The camera provides the same high geometric accuracy, broad dynamic range, matching and stereo capabilities, and full metric capabilities as the UltraCamX, UltraCamXp, and UltraCamXp Wide Angle large-format cameras.

"The fact that Aero-Photo (1961) has purchased four digital camera systems from Vexcel Imaging in the first half of 2010 is an indication of the great value for the price that our customers enjoy," said Alexander Wiechert, Business Director of Microsoft and Managing Director for Vexcel Imaging GmbH.

°The UltraCamLp is a highly versatile medium-format camera system that is suitable for many types of projects."
