Top Kodak Easyshare V610 Camera Reviews
Lets Go Digital wrote a review of the
Kodak EasyShare V610
and said: "The colour representation will be pleasant for most
users. Because of the somewhat warm representation the pictures
come more to life as it were and who takes the trouble to edit
the pictures here and there will get nice, contrasted pictures
or prints. Besides the still pictures Kodak is also capable of
excellent video clip recordings. These clips were played by us
on a large television set and it must be said that they were of
a fine quality."
CNET wrote a review of the
Kodak Easyshare V610
and said: "Overall, the camera tends to either overexpose
highlights or underexpose shadows. Noise creeps in even at lower
ISO settings. Images shot at ISO 64 are, of course, the cleanest
but still show traces of colored specs, especially in darker
colors. The camera keeps this under control at ISO 100, but by
ISO 200, noise is noticeable and becomes obvious at ISO 400.
Images shot at ISO 800 are generally not fit to print."
Kodak Easyshare V610 News Release Summary:
Dual lens BLUETOOTH Technology-Enabled Camera Launched, Facial
Recognition, Context Sorting and Auto Albuming Among Future
Kodak Innovations Demonstrated
ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 25 -- Eastman Kodak Company today
unveiled the next advances in imaging innovation while marking
the fifth anniversary of its first ground-breaking EASYSHARE
consumer digital camera and docking system. Ranging from the
market’s first dual lens BLUETOOTH enabled 6 megapixel, 10X
optical zoom pocketsize digital camera to facial recognition and
auto albuming software, Kodak’s line-up of innovations offer
consumers new ways to radically enhance their imaging
experience.
“Kodak continues to innovate to make the complex simple –
delivering new technologies that enrich the consumer
experience,” said Pierre Schaeffer, Vice President and Chief
Marketing Officer of Kodak’s Consumer Digital Group. “Today
we’re unveiling the next innovations in consumer digital
photography that will allow people to take, share and archive
pictures in ways they never thought possible.”
Since the launch of EasyShare in 2001, Kodak’s innovative
technology has driven it to a number one market share position
in the U.S. in digital cameras, home snapshot printers, desktop
imaging software applications, online photo sharing services and
retail kiosks, according to industry sources. Today, Kodak
introduces new products and future technologies that continue to
build on the company’s hallmark ease of use, imaging
innovations, and strategic partnerships to unleash the power of
pictures.
New Wireless Camera, Software Among Introductions
The KODAK EASYSHARE V610 dual lens digital camera is the world’s
smallest 10X optical zoom camera at less than an inch thick. (38
– 380 mm equiv.) Using precision-crafted KODAK RETINA Dual Lens
technology, the sleek, pocket-size V610 camera combines two
SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH C-VARIOGON all-glass, non-protruding prism
lenses to deliver such a long zoom range – a first for a camera
so small (just 4.4 x 2.2 x 0.9 inches). The innovative
6-megapixel EASYSHARE V610 camera is able to capture extremely
close, high quality pictures of distant subjects without the
obtrusiveness of a larger camera due to anti-blur technology.
The EASYSHARE V610 model is one of the first digital cameras to
incorporate BLUETOOTH wireless technology, making it simpler to
instantly share pictures with people nearby. Pictures can be
sent to any BLUETOOTH technology-enabled device up to 30 feet
away – as well as be received on the camera’s high resolution
2.8-inch LCD screen (230,000 pixels). The KODAK EASYSHARE V610
zoom digital camera will be available worldwide in May and will
have an MSRP of US$449 in the U.S.
Also introduced today is the next generation of the
award-winning EASYSHARE-ONE, the world’s first Wi-Fi consumer
digital camera, and the only camera in the world from which
people can e-mail pictures. The new KODAK EASYSHARE-ONE 6 MP
digital camera combines the power of taking, sharing,
organizing, and printing pictures into a single, highly
innovative product. Its new WISPr (Wireless Internet Service
Provider recommendation) protocol increases the number of hot
spot locations to connect anytime, anywhere, wirelessly. The
EASYSHARE-ONE 6 MP camera will be available in the U.S.
beginning this summer for US$299 (MSRP). The Wi-Fi card is an
optional accessory US$99.
The new Version 6.0 of KODAK EASYSHARE Software is also
announced today. With more than 30 million copies in use
worldwide, the free software provides an effortless way for
people to organize, print, share and get creative with their
ever-growing picture collections. Version 6.0, available in MAC
and PC, comes with a new user interface to enhance the consumer
experience and increase performance. It also includes a photo
card printing feature that turns pictures into invitations,
announcements and more. The new KODAK EASYSHARE Software V6.0
will be available for free download beginning in May at
www.kodak.com/go/easyshare.
The new integrated KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery web site (
www.kodakgallery.com) will make it easier than ever for
consumers to access their entire collection of digital images so
they can print, share and create great photo keepsakes. This
combination of the best features of KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery and
KODAK Mobile Service will simplify the process for consumers to
send photos from their KODAK EASYSHARE Gallery accounts to their
camera phones, to save as wallpaper and to send photos from
their phones to their online collections for safe keeping. Once
online, these pictures can be shared with family and friends,
made into Photo Greeting Cards, Photo Books calendars, mini
books, mugs, collages and much more.
Out of the Labs and Into the Future
Continuing its commitment to digital innovation, Kodak unveiled
today a host of digital technologies that will transform the
consumer digital experience within the next few years. For
example, facial recognition software will automatically sort
through thousands of photos to find pictures of friends or
family. Context sorting and auto-albuming will make archiving
one-button simple, and KONGA sharing software will enable
instant sharing of images between family and friends as
interactive as instant messaging in a KONGA-like line.
