Kodak V610 Review
![]()
Digital Trends has just reviewed the Kodak V610 Digital Camera, the world’s smallest 10x zoom digital camera with dual lens feature. This state of the art camera has an impressive set of features including Bluetooth capabilities and a whopping 10x digital zoom. However while the thin zoom looks very impressive it at times does suffer from slow response.
The Kodak V610 Digital Camera is a 6 mega-pixel camera and includes a 2.8 in. (7.1 cm) high resolution (230K pixels) LCD screen. The camera includes not one but two SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH C-VARIOGON all-glass; non-protruding prism lenses and uses the radical KODAK RETINA Dual Lens technology. For enhanced capabilities Kodak has incorporated the Kodak Anti Blur Technology and the BLUETOOTH® wireless technology. It has a Video Mode too, which is capable of recording VGA (640 × 480 pixels) at 30 fps, VGA long at 30 fps, and QVGA (320 × 240 pixels) at 30 fps. Some other features include, White balance settings, 4X advanced digital zoom, total zoom range 40X and a number of Scene Modes like auto, portrait, panorama left-right, panorama right-left, sport, landscape, close-up, night portrait, night landscape, snow, beach, text etc.
Finally the review ends by concluding "This one is a toughie. The EasyShare V610 has a number of features that make it attractive: looks, thinness, a 10x optical zoom, built-in Bluetooth and Perfect Touch technology. I really have problems with the LCD screen and the hiccough as the camera “hands off” from one zoom lens to the other. And the camera is pretty slow saving images to the card; overall image quality was average, nothing to write home about with more noise that you should expect from a 2006 digicam. That said I’ll give it an 7.5 as a package but for pure photographic ability you can do better such as the Canon Powershot SD630. Bottom line: if it were my money, I wouldn’t buy it".
