It was only the second day of 2006 and Kodak has already introduced their new 5-megapixel dual lens Easyshare V570 digital camera. With KODAK RETINA Dual Lens technology, the Easyshare V570 camera wraps an ultra-wide angle lens (23 mm) and an optical zoom lens (39 – 117 mm) into a small, sleek package less than an inch thin.
Using the ultra-wide view in panorama scene mode, people can take in a 180-degree vista with just three shots. The V570 also features advanced video performance, it records TV-quality video, up to 30 fps using advanced MPEG-4 compression. Built-in image stabilization technology reduces on-screen shaking from unintentional hand and camera movement. The camera also offers an optical zoom feature for video including auto focus. And it is simple to select any frame in a video, then save and print it as a “freeze frame†still picture in just seconds.
Other notable features of the V570 camera include:
- A big, brilliant 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD screen
- The exclusive KODAK Color Science image processing chip for phenomenal image quality with rich color, accurate skin tones, low noise and precise exposure
- Automatic red-eye reduction, on-camera cropping, picture blur alert and auto picture rotation
- In-camera distortion correction to compensate for ultra-wide angle fish-eye effects, which can be turned on or off
- Twenty-two scene modes plus three color modes, helping snap shooters capture the best possible shot with the least possible effort
- The 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’s high-resolution LCD screen
- And 32 megabytes (MB) of internal memory, plus a SD card slot for additional storage
