The Kodak V570 is very compact, fit for every pocket and has a simple user interface. Its unique dual lens (proprietary KODAK RETINA Dual Lens technology) arrangement includes a surprisingly useful 23mm ultra wide angle lens. Special features include Image Stabilization mode, Burst photography mode, 180 degree Panorama stitching (3 shots), Optional histogram display, DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) compatibility, PictBridge support, USB connectivity. Automatic red-eye reduction, on-camera cropping, in-camera distortion correction to compensate for ultra-wide angle fish-eye effects (which can be turned on or off), picture blur alert (green indicates an acceptable sharpness level, while a red icon indicates that the image is too soft) and auto picture rotation also deserve a mention. You can also select any frame in a video, then save and print it as a “freeze frame” still picture.
Images are soft with vibrant, appealing colors and natural skin tones, but not very little visible noise at high ISO. Good exposure accuracy and good low light capability in landscape mode. Easyshare V570’s video capabilities are also very good. All these (plus the fact that it does not have manual controls) mean that Kodak EasyShare V570 is a good choice for novices, as well as more experienced users looking for a capable travel digital camera.
It realy is a complete digital camera, therefore, one of my recomandations.
It is compatible with 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 high-resolution LCD screen.
