Kodak EasyShare V705

Kodak's latest dual-lens camera continues to innovate, though it's saddled with imaging-quality shortcomings.

Unique dual lens and dual-sensor design. Very compact. Excellent performance. Wonderful panorama scene mode.

Very noisy. Images should be much sharper. Pricey.

Kodak EasyShare V705 review: Kodak EasyShare V705

Kodak EasyShare V705

Ultrawide lens for an ultracompact; plenty of scene modes; in-camera video trimming.

Average image quality; no manual exposure controls.

A simple refresh of the V570, the new Kodak EasyShare V705 bumps up the resolution, adds a few subtle twists, and keeps everything we liked about the company's original dual-lens camera.

Kodak V705

The KODAK EASYSHARE V705 is the world's smallest ultra-wide-angle digital camera. Using KODAK's RETINA Dual Lens Technology you can capture amazingly wide views with the ultra-wide-angle (23 mm) lens, and get closer and see the details with 5X optical...

The V705 camera records TV-quality video, 640 - 480 at up to 30 frames per second (fps) using advanced MPEG-4 compression. Built-in image stabilization technology reduces on-screen shaking from unintentional hand and camera movement. The camera's...

Kodak EasyShare V705 review

Just before the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) started in 2006, Kodak introduced its first dual lens digital camera; de Kodak V570. Its successor, the Kodak EasyShare V705 was announced just over six months later and will be the subject of the...

Having a second lens is still an attractive concept. No one else is making such extreme wide-angle in the compact camera segment, so the Kodak EasyShare V705 camera is bound to be popular with landscape photographers. To be honest, I can imagine them...

The Kodak EasyShare V705 digital camera updates the existing EasyShare V570 model, which marked the debut of Kodak's twin-lens design concept. Both cameras include a 39 - 117mm optical zoom lens, and a secondary 23mm fixed focal-length lens, each...

Most other features of the new Kodak V705 look to be similar to the original camera, including a 2.5" LCD display with 230,000 pixels, choice of three metering modes, five white balance modes, a built-in flash strobe good to 2.2 meters (or 3.1 meters...

KODAK EASYSHARE V705 Zoom Digital Camera Review

The KODAK EASYSHARE V705 zoom digital camera is a Kodak dual lens camera, which means that it has two lenses. And, this is one of the smallest cameras on the market. The camera, however, isn't perfect, but is it perfect for you? Learn more by reading...

When comparing this camera to others, it’s hard not to notice one major flaw: it’s a little expensive. The price ranges from $275 to $350 online. Now, compare that to the Canon PowerShot, which sells for between $200 and $300. But, it also boasts...

Camera Review: Kodak EasyShare V705

When picking up the solid and weighty 7.1MP Kodak EasyShare V705 ($299.95, street), one gets the illusion that it's a chrome brick with no moving parts. But then you push the power button and hear "thuuuuuuuunk" and you'd swear that you just closed the...

Kodak Easyshare V705 Review

The Kodak Easyshare V705 is interesting for only one reason, its two lenses. While the first lens is somewhat typical, the second lens shows a 23mm equivalent ultra-wide field of view. This is quite rare among fixed-lens digital cameras.

Rare ultra-wide lens in ultra-compact camera, Fast focusing, Low distortion with zoom lens, Great LCD visibility, In camera panorama stitching, Good build quality except for memory door

Large gap in zoom range, Slow and jerky zoom, Very high noise at ISO 800 and 1000, General image softness, Very high distortion with ultra-wide angle lens, Lack of grip and tiny buttons means poor handling
