FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FotoShowTM Digital Image Center and Zip® Disks Coming to Wolf Camera Superstores Nationwide

ROY, Utah, March 29, 2001 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data management solutions, today announced a new retail agreement with Atlanta-based Wolf Camera Inc. to carry Iomega's FotoShowTM digital image center and Zip® 100MB and 250MB disks at Wolf Camera superstores nationwide.

"We're pleased to welcome Wolf Camera, one of the leaders in its category and the right kind of retailer for Iomega's FotoShow viewer," said Doug Collier, senior vice president, marketing and product management, Iomega Corporation. "This agreement marks a big step in our drive to get the FotoShow viewer in front of the digital camera audience."

Initial plans call for Wolf Camera to roll out the Iomega FotoShow digital image center, along with Zip 100MB and 250MB disks, at its 32 Wolf Camera superstores, as well as at its online store www.wolfcamera.com.

"Iomega's FotoShow player defines a new device category for digital camera users, the set-top image viewer", said Phil Kaplan, electronics buyer, Wolf Camera. "We are excited about offering this new product to our customers, and we think digital photography enthusiasts will instantly recognize the value and versatility of the FotoShow device for enjoying their digital photo collections."

Wolf Camera expects the FotoShow digital image center to be available at its superstores in mid-April, and immediately on-line at www.wolfcamera.com.

About the Iomega FotoShow digital image center
Iomega's FotoShow digital image center gives consumers a Zip drive for their TV, a small, simple and affordable solution for sharing their digital photo collections without a computer. Its built-in CompactFlashTM (MicrodriveTM-compatible) and SmartMediaTM slots provide digital camera owners with one-button transfer of camera images directly to the internal Zip® 250MB drive. Connecting to a TV via composite (RCA) or S-Video ports, the FotoShow player also comes with a remote control for convenient editing and viewing.

Editing features include red-eye removal, one-touch instant photo fixing, cropping, zooming, image rotation and artistic templates. With an optional 12-volt car adapter, the FotoShow viewer doubles as a mobile image station for downloading digital camera photos in the field, freeing up space on expensive solid state memory cards.

The FotoShow player's USB port allows it to operate as a 250MB Zip® drive when connected to any USB-enabled computer. Users can then transfer images to the FotoShow player from any source - including converted Powerpoint® presentations, scanned photos, and photos saved on hard drives or downloaded from the Internet - for television viewing in the home, classroom, or boardroom.
