Kodak EasyShare V570

The Kodak EasyShare V570 is a high-end digital camera manufactured by Eastman Kodak. Announced on January 2, 2006, it is an upper model in the range, which was advertised as $400 in The United States in January 2006. Its main innovation is the dual lens system, combining two periscopic groups with each their own sensor: one very wide angle equivalent to a 23 mm in 135 format and a 3X zoom equivalent to a 39-117 mm, totalizing a virtual 5X zoom, with a step between 23 and 39 mm. It is the first dual lens digital camera.

There are two other models in Kodak's line of dual lens cameras that were announced shortly after the introduction of the Easyshare V570: the Easyshare V610, which was announced on April 25, 2006 [ [http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=2709&pq-locale=en_US&gpcid=0900688a8050393f News Release ] ] and the Easyshare V705, which was announced on August 8, 2006.

The Easyshare V610 is a 6-megapixel, Bluetooth-enabled, dual lens camera that forgoes the fixed focus 23 mm wide angle lens of the V570 and V705 for a 38-114mm lens. Unlike the V570, it does not include a dock.

The Easyshare V705 is a 7.1-megapixel camera that is offered in 3 body colors - black, silver, and pink. It does not include a dock.
