TORONTO, ON, August 15 — In
the latest addition to its award-winning
EASYSHARE consumer digital photography system,
Eastman Kodak Company announced four new
innovative and user-friendly products to
the C and V lines of EASYSHARE Digital Cameras.
The KODAK EASYSHARE V705 Dual Lens Digital

ultra-wide-angle optical zoom digital camera,
and the KODAK EASYSHARE C875 Zoom Digital
Camera, with 8.0 MP, 5X all glass SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH
optical zoom lens, are two impressively
designed and unbelievably equipped offerings
from Kodak.
“As a leader in the digital camera
marketplace, Kodak once again surpasses
the competition by designing innovative
and powerful ultra-compact cameras,”
said Greg Morrison, digital product marketing
manager, Kodak Canada Inc. “Kodak continues
to raise the bar by providing picture takers
with the tools to create high-quality photos,
enhancing the overall digital photography
experience.”
Style and Power
The KODAK EASYSHARE V705 camera allows consumers
to capture amazingly wide views with the
world’s smallest ultra-wide-angle optical
zoom digital camera. Strengthening its commitment
to pushing the boundaries of technology,
Kodak designed the V705 to include KODAK
RETINA Dual Lens Technology, which touts
two 7 MP sensors, anti-blur technology and
KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Technology. With the
V705, consumers can get closer and see the
details with 5X optical zoom range, and
automatically adjust its setting when choosing
from 22 scenes and three color modes. Picture
takers can even capture the most expansive
shots in just seconds with panorama stitch
mode, capturing up to 180 degrees with only
3 shots.
The powerfully simple video features include
the ability to record VGA video (640 x 480)
at 30 fps with sound, and convenient on-camera
video editing tools offers consumers to
trim clips and create prints from video
(4, 9 or 16 up), plus view and share single
frames.
Easy-to-Use and Packed with Innovative
Features
With 8.0 MP and 5X all glass SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH
optical zoom lens, the affordable and feature-packed
KODAK EASYSHARE C875 Zoom Digital Camera
gets consumers closer to their subject and
creates exceptional quality prints up to
76 x 102 cm (30” x 40”). Perfect
for the second-time buyer, this unique camera
combines a sophisticated design with ease
of use and captures stunning shots with
the smart scene feature – which automatically
selects the best scene mode. Viewing these
shots is made easier with its large 6.4
cm (2.5”) indoor/outdoor color display
featuring a wide viewing angle.
The camera also boasts KODAK PERFECT TOUCH
technology for better, brighter pictures.
Picture takers can even capture life in
motion with TV quality (VGA) video at 30
fps, and create action prints from video
(4, 9 or 16 up), plus view and share single
fames while using less memory with MPEG-4
compression.
