Last Rose of Summer

The Kodak EasyShare V705 Dual Lens is a beautiful compact digital camera with a unique ultra-wide angle lens. Billed as the world's smallest ultra-wide-angle digital camera, it in fact has two quality SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH C-VARIOGON lenses: a regular 39-117mm 3x optical zoom lens, plus an ultra-wide angle 23mm lens perfect for group shots of friends and family members, landscape and real-estate photography.

With the Kodak V705's ultra-wide angle 23mm lens, you can capture wide vistas, plus a unique in-camera panorama stitching requires only 3 pictures for a full 180° coverage. Use 2 or 3 shots stitched together for real estate pictures.

The Kodak V705 is a Point-and-Shoot camera with Auto (Programmed Auto) mode, easy-to-use Scene Modes, and everything designed to make it simple to use. It is similar to the V570 that it replaces, and now sports 7.1MP resolution. Image quality is good to very good.

The Kodak V705 is compact enough to fit in your pocket, though its elongated shape means that it is a bit wider than most digital cameras. Those with large hands would want to try out its small control buttons first. An extra large 2.5 in. LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels high resolution and a wide viewing angle makes viewing pictures easy.

The Kodak V705 is part of Kodak's EasyShare series which makes it simple to produce 4x6 in. borderless prints using the optional Printer Dock Plus Series 3 at a touch of a button. Overall, it is a fun camera and potential purchasers are those who are attracted to its simplicity of use, the ultra-wide-angle coverage for large group shots and easy in-camera panorama stitching for spectacular landscape shots.
