Top Kodak Easyshare V570 Camera Reviews
DC Resource wrote a review on the
Kodak Easyshare V570
and said: "The EasyShare V570 is the only compact digital camera
in the world that has both a traditional 3X zoom and an ultra
wide-angle lens. The camera has more than its share of negatives
(listed below), but if you're after a compact camera that can do
wide and telephoto shots, the V570 is the only game in town. If
you take a lot of low light or flash photos, or if you desire
manual controls, then I'd suggest looking elsewhere -- but for
everyone else, the V570 is definitely worth a look."
Imaging Resource
reviews the
Kodak Easyshare V570 and said: "Our recommendation is if you
need a very wide angle lens frequently, by all means give the
V570 a look. It has good image quality for what it does, and
will give you that room-grabbing view when you really need it.
Turning off the digital zoom will keep you sane, and sticking
with the pure optical zoom will keep your pictures crisp. If
you're just looking at the V570 as an all-around 5x
point-and-shoot without regard for its ultrawide angle
capability though, you might want to consider a different design
with a single optical zoom lens spanning the entire range."
Kodak Easyshare V570 News Release Summary:
Kodak Unveils World’s First Dual-Lens Digital Camera; Combines
Ultra-Wide Angle and Zoom Lenses in Compact Body
Innovative KODAK EASYSHARE V570 Camera with RETINA Dual Lens
Technology Shown First at CES 2006 in Kodak Booth 31400 (LVCC
South/3)
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 2 -- Kicking off this week’s 2006 International
Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Eastman Kodak Company today
introduced the world’s first dual-lens digital still camera, the
KODAK EASYSHARE V570 zoom digital camera. 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.
“Today’s picture takers expect high-performance features in an
attractive package. Kodak is first to give them a coveted but
previously unavailable ultra-wide angle lens in a pocket-size
camera,” said Mary Hadley, general manager of digital cameras
for Kodak’s Consumer Digital Imaging Group. “Capturing high
quality photos with maximum ease of use are at the top of
people’s lists when buying a new digital camera. By delivering
on these needs in a completely new way, the EASYSHARE V570
camera pushes the boundaries of innovative design for
ultra-compact cameras.”
Wide-Angle Panorama Stitching and Advanced Video Performance
In addition to its dual lens design, the 5-megapixel V570 camera
boasts a variety of notable features to enhance the photography
experience, including in-camera panorama stitching, which
automatically combines three pictures into a panorama
photograph. Using the ultra-wide view in panorama scene mode,
people can take in a 180-degree vista with just three shots — an
industry exclusive.
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 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.
Other notable features of the V570 camera include:
- A big, brilliant 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD screen;
- The exclusive KODAK Color Science image processing chip for phenomenal
image quality with rich color, accurate skin tones, low noise
and precise exposure;
- Automatic red-eye reduction, on-camera cropping, picture blur alert and
auto picture rotation;
- In-camera distortion correction to compensate for ultra-wide angle
fish-eye effects, which can be turned on or off;
- Twenty-two scene modes plus three color modes, helping snap shooters
capture the best possible shot with the least possible effort;
- The Photo Frame Dock 2, which provides one-touch picture transfer to a
connected computer while keeping the cameras’ high-capacity
lithium-ion battery charged and ready to go, and which can play
video and photo ‘slideshows’ on the camera’s high-resolution LCD
screen;
- And 32 megabytes (MB) of internal memory, plus a SD card slot for
additional storage.
The KODAK EASYSHARE V570 zoom digital camera with Photo Frame
Dock 2 will be available worldwide beginning later this month
for US$399 (MSRP).
Easyshare Software and Accessories
The KODAK EASYSHARE V570 camera includes KODAK EASYSHARE
software for WINDOWS and MACINTOSH systems, providing effortless
digital picture organization, editing, sharing and printing —
and even CD and DVD burning. The exclusive One Touch to Better
Pictures feature takes advantage of proprietary color
technologies developed by Kodak to help users get vibrant,
true-to-life prints from inkjet printers, while the enhanced
favorites feature helps you always have your best shots at hand,
whether on your camera, on your computer, or online via the
KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery.
Kodak also makes it easy to accessorize the new V570 camera with
a range of products that help show off your pictures. For
instance, the popular KODAK EASYSHARE Printer Dock Plus Series 3
(US$179 MSRP) makes it one-touch simple to print real KODAK
pictures at home in just 60 seconds — with or without a
computer.
