The Camera

The Kodak EasyShare V570 is a compact-sized digital camera offering a resolution of 5 Megapixels. With its smooth design and user-friendly interface, it aims at a broad group of consumers.

KODAK V570 Digital Camera

For a dual lens camera, we expected the V570 to be more than 101x49.8 x20.4 mm (WxHxD) that it is. Weighing 125 grams, the Kodak EasyShare V570 is a compact-sized digital camera offering a resolution of 5 Megapixels. The smooth design will definitely attract a lot of people from the total consumer spectrum.

In addition to the 3x optical zoom lens, which has a focal range of 39 - 117mm (equivalent of a 35mm camera), Kodak has integrated an extra wide-angle lens (23mm). As a result, the V570 covers a range of 23 - 117mm zoom, packaged in an ultra-compact camera. The available range means the V570 is, theoretically, an all-round digital camera suitable for landscape images as well as family portraits.

Layout and Design

The V570 looks like any other small and stylish camera with a 5.0 MP image resolution. But the moment, the front cover slides in (the sound of which reminds me of the Starship Enterprise) revealing the dual-lenses, you just wanna stop. Stop and look at the marvelous piece of hardware in your hand again and again.

Although the camera has a 3X optical zoom, no lens slide out. But, that's not something we haven't seen before. Both the lenses have folded optics with individual 5.0 MP sensors. The V570's top lens is wide angle, fixed at 23mm, and the bottom lens is a 39-117mm zoom.

Apart from the Capture button, the top of the camera has an ON/OFF switch as well as the quick access buttons to switch to Movie Mode, Scene Modes, and Favorites. The back of the camera houses a 2.5-inch LCD screen and neatly placed and labeled buttons and joystick. On the right, concealed behind a metal polished strip is the SD/MMC card slot and charger input.

I am having a kodak easy share digital camera. after two year the camera become dead. I find Kodak digital camera is absolutely useless and you will not get any spare parts also. According to me DO NOT PURCHASE KODAK DIGITAL CAMERA. THEY CAN ONLY SELL CAMERA FILM.

TRY canon a540 , one of the few products, which scores high on both, value for money and performance. (and the 5mp version is a530, which sells for 3k less, and doesn't have shutter/aperature priority mode, and a 1.8 inch screen)

While Kodak does produce some good digicams like the Z740-The reviewed V-530 is not the best Kodak Digicam and has in fact been replaced now with V-710 & V610 models in Kodak lineup. The 5-mega-pixel sensor used in the Kodak V570 produces noisy images at the slowest ISO speeds of 64 and 100, and noisier and blurred images at ISO 200 and 400. With no optical image stabilization system, this makes the V570 something of an outdoors, good-light only camera. The 5 mega pixel images are quite soft straight out of the camera at the default sharpening setting and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Photoshop. I think the 3.5 stars must have been given by Sudeep only because of novelty value of V-530-in having 2 lenses-& Two 5 MP sensors. Practical value of this cam for a serious photographer is nil.

this camera(not the face) shares an uncanny resemblance with the old nintendo handhelds of the late 80's and early 90's....pre gameboy era.

We have found that Kodak Camera are a a bit of failures compared to other brands...eg LS443 (25K) and other models which we have seen them failing beyound repairs..one should be careful...and at a go you loose your investments.

Both charging (the charger connects directly) and connecting to a PC (via a very small USB adaptor) can be done without using the dock.
