 Kodak EasyShare V570 digital camera review : From the very moment the first rumours of a new digital camera from Kodak reached our ears, accompanied by the first low quality product shots that had been taken of this camera, our interest was sparked immediately. A digital camera with a dual-lens system? This creative idea can be called interesting at the very least, and earned Kodak a fair share of worldwide attention during this period. The Kodak EasyShare V570 is a compact-sized digital camera offering a resolution of 5 Megapixels. With its smooth design and user-friendly interface, the small camera aims at a broad group of consumers. Kodak certainly deserve credit for the way they have set up the commendable EasyShare concept.

 Kodak V570 camera - Wide-angle lens
Using proprietary Kodak Retina Dual Lens technology, the elegant V570 camera wraps an ultra-wide angle lens (23 mm) and an optical zoom lens (39 - 117 mm) into a small, sleek package less than an inch thin. The innovative EasyShare V570 camera's ultra-wide angle lens coupled with its optical zoom lens produces a total 5X optical zoom range, providing more options to help today's picture takers capture the perfect shot, group photos, scenic landscapes, dramatic portraits, and close-ups. No other consumer digital camera offers such a wide angle of view, nor the unique, sophisticated design of this model, whose all-glass, stacked Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon prism lenses never extend from the camera body.
Kodak V570 - 23mm lens for panorama images
The fact that the Kodak V570 is equipped with a 23mm lens leaves plenty of opportunities for panorama images. The difference between Kodak's 23mm and, for instance, the 28mm of several other compact digital cameras is in fact so significant that this alone already makes the Kodak EasyShare V570 a considerably interesting and appealing camera for those keen on capturing landscape images. The camera is thus also equipped with a so-called panorama stitching function, which enables you to "stitch" three images together automatically.
Kodak EasyShare V570 - MPEG 4 recording
Packing advanced video performance, the camera makes it easier for users to shoot all types of action in the way that many filmmakers prefer, with an ultra-wide angle to capture more of the scene. 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 from unintentional hand and camera movement. The camera also offers an optical zoom feature for video including auto focus. And it is simple to select any frame in a video, then save and print it as a "freeze frame" still picture in just seconds.
Kodak EasyShare V570 review
The Kodak V570 camera is delivered including a handy docking station. By placing the camera onto the station, the user is able to transfer the images directly to a computer, or re-charge the battery. Overall, the Kodak V570 offers us enough enticing information to submit it to some extensive practice tests. The results can be read in the following Kodak EasyShare V570 review.
