Pre-CES 2006: Proof if it were required that the cost of compact class CCD's are now at very low levels Kodak has today announced a camera with two lenses and two CCD's. The EasySahre V570 has two 'fold optics' lens/CCD packages mounted above each other, the first providing a prime 23 mm equiv. field of view, the second a 37-117 mm three times optical zoom. Both lens systems are mated to a five megapixel CCD sensor. One selling point is a built-in 180 degree panorama feature which is achieved with just three shots from the 23 mm equiv. lens. Other features include MPEG-4 video capture and a 2.5" LCD monitor.
