Kodak Easyshare V610 Review
Announced in April 2006, the EasyShare V610 is Kodak's second 'Dual Lens' model, using two lenses (and two CCD sensors) to give an extended zoom range without adding to the bulk of the camera. In the case of the V610 the lenses cover 38-114mm and 130-380mm respectively, giving a total 10x optical range (albeit one with a little gap in the middle), and earning it the 'World’s Smallest 10X Optical Zoom Digital Camera' title. The sleek, all-metal V610 also boasts a large 2.8-inch color screen, BlueTooth, 18 scene modes and in-camera image corrections. But can the V610's performance match its impressive design? Let's find out... starting as ever with the headline features and specifications.
- 38-380mm equivalent optical zoom range
- 2.8-inch, 230,000 pixel screen
- 6.1 million pixels
