|  The Kodak EasyShare V610 is the world's smallest 10x optical zoom camera, packing a pair of 6.1-megapixel sensors in its compact two-lens design that provides a wide spectrum of preset shooting modes, an easy-to-understand interface, a handful of creative exposure options, in-camera image enhancement, and Bluetooth wireless technology. Unlike Kodak's V570, both of the V610's lenses are zoom lenses. Part of the Kodak "Pocket Series," the Kodak V610 is very compact, with low-profile controls that won't snag pockets.
The V610 really does have features galore, but one of its best party pieces is the 10x optical zoom lens. Actually that’s not entirely accurate – the V610 doesn’t have a 10x optical zoom lens, it has two lenses that combine for a 10x zoom range. In 35mm terms you’re looking at a focal length from 38 – 380mm, which really is phenomenal for such a slim compact camera.
It is worth mentioning though that you don’t actually have that entire focal length at your disposal – the first lens has a focal length of 38 – 114mm, while the second lens sports a 130 – 380mm range. Therefore there’s a jump between 114 and 130mm. Whether this is an issue for you really depends on whether the exact shot you want lies in the missing area of focal length, and even if it does, you could always just take a couple of steps forward or backwards to compensate.
Kodak V610 camera owners can effortlessly send their pictures to other Bluetooth technology enabled devices up to 30 feet away, e.g., mobile phones, PDAs, computers, Kodak Picture Kiosks, and even other Kodak V610 cameras, as well as receive and view pictures on the huge 2.8 inch, high-resolution (230,000 pixels) LCD screen. “Kodak innovation continues to make it easier for people to take and share better, sharper pictures.
The Kodak EasyShare V610 digital dual lens camera includes Kodak EasyShare software for Windows and Macintosh systems, providing effortless digital picture organisation, editing, sharing and printing. The exclusive One Touch to Better Pictures feature takes advantage of proprietary colour technologies developed by Kodak to help users get vibrant, true-to-life prints from inkjet printers, while the newly enhanced favourites feature helps you always have your best shots at hand, whether on your camera, on your computer, or online via the Kodak EasyShare Gallery.
