Search Amazon.com for Kodak CameraWith a long-range 10X optical
zoom, Kodak’s EasyShare
V610 can bring the farthest
subjects into full, detailed view.
Unfortunately, this dual-lens
camera also has a propensity
for blurred photos at its highest
zoom levels, plus disappointingly
short battery life.
The 6.1-megapixel V610
is Kodak’s second camera to
sport two built-in lenses. The
V610 has a 126mm-to-380mm
(35mm equivalent) telephoto
zoom lens that sits atop a
38mm-to-114mm standard
zoom lens. When you’re closing
in on a subject, the V610’s
standard zoom handles up
to 3X magnifi cation; to go be -
yond that level, the telephoto
lens kicks into action. This is
unlike the V570 that offered
a wide angle option. The two
lenses in the same were a
23mm lens and a traditional
39-117mm zoom lens.
Our outdoor shots usually
came out sharp enough, but
we got mixed results when
shooting in indoor, low-light
settings. It sometimes took
clear, colorful photos at maximum
zoom, but occasionally
had trouble focusing. And
because it lacks image stabilization,
any slight movement
produced a blurry shot. Compared
with other point-andshoot
cameras, the V610’s
images looked less sharp.
The pictures were slightly
underexposed, too, and white
balance was a little off; we
noticed a slight greenish cast
in some shots.
On the features side, the V610
impressed us. It offers wireless
photo transfers via Bluetooth;
in-camera photo stitching for
panoramic shots; and a 2.8-inch
LCD. The bad news: The V610
fared poorly in our battery test,
lasting just 148 shots.
Still, what makes this camera
shine—its 10X zoom, ease
of use, and sleek design—may
be enough to compensate for
its shortcomings.
