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.
