 Kodak EasyShare V570 review at DigiCamReview : Our friend Joshua Waller from DigiCamReview has published his Kodak EasyShare V570 digital camera review. The Kodak V570 incorporates 5 Megapixel resolution and boasts a variety of features to enhance the photography experience, including in-camera panorama stitching, which automatically combines 3 pictures into a panorama photo. Using Kodak Retina Dual Lens technology, the Kodak V570 wraps an ultra-wide angle lens (23 mm) and an optical zoom lens (39 - 117 mm) into a small package. The Kodak EasyShare V570 camera records TV-quality video, up to 30 frames per second (fps) using advanced MPEG-4 compression. Built-in image stabilization technology reduces on-screen shaking.

 Kodak V570 - Responsiveness
According to Joshua Waller: "The camera is quick to switch on and take photos, able to switch on and take a photo in roughly 1.4 seconds. Focusing seemed quick, very quick with the ultra wide angle lens as it is fixed focus (and therefore doesn't actually focus), and fairly quick as the 3x optical zoom lens took around 0.8 seconds to focus. The playback mode is a very quick, with photos displaying almost instantly when going from photo to photo, the zoom is also very quick."
Kodak EasyShare V570 - Ergonomics and Design
Joshua continues: "The buttons feel okay, although some may find them small, especially the slightly fiddly zoom control. The shutter release is good. The playback mode could be labelled better, as currently it's labelled as "Review" and doesn't stand out from any of the other buttons surrounding it, nearly every other digital camera labels this with a "Play" logo often using green to show it is different to all the other buttons. The (small) four-way controller is more like a joystick and allows you to scroll diagonally in playback mode, and is fairly easy to use. I thought the camera felt okay ergonomically, there is very little in the way of a handgrip, and a very small area to rest your thumb."
Kodak EasyShare V570 compact camera - Noise
"The camera has very good colour, with accurate skin tones, with good saturation and contrast. Noise is generally quite high in indoor photos. The camera occasionally fails to focus indoors when using the telephoto end of the zoom, despite the focus assist lamp. The V570 noise is quite often dotted with small black dots, especially at ISO400. Indoors in low-light when using the flash, noise was particularly noticeable, perhaps due to the camera having a weak flash, and ideally it's best to keep the ISO setting below ISO200."
