The Kodak EasyShare V570 features 5.0
megapixel resolution and a unique dual lens design:
the upper one is a fixed 23mm ultra wide-angle
lens and the lower one a 3.0x optical zoom. The
camera defaults to the 23mm wide-angle and you
zoom to the longer focal lengths. In fact, each
lens has its own 5MP image sensor.
Unlike too many digital cameras that give you
a large LCD screen without increasing its resolution,
the Kodak V570 has an extra large 2.5-in. LCD
screen that displays your captured images with
a high 230,000 pixels resolution.
In addition to the ultra wide-angle coverage,
Kodak has incorporated a new Panoramic feature
that allows in-camera stitching of 3 images to
produce a 180° image.
So what is the advantage of a 23mm ultra wide-angle
lens on a consumer digital camera? The coverage
is incredible. If you are always complaining you
cannot include all your family members or friends
in one group shot; if you find it difficult to
take a picture of a whole building without having
to back off so much that you are intruding into
someone else's property; if you take frequent
real-estate interior shots that just don't show
off enough of the rooms... then you should check
out the Kodak EasyShare V570.
Note: We placed the Kodak V570 into the ultra-compact
category because it is quite thin (0.8 in.) and
easily slips into a jeans pocket. Be aware, though,
that it is wider than most ultra-compact digital
camera.
