Kodak Easyshare V610: World's Smallest 10X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Kodak today introduced the Kodak Easyshare V610 dual lens digital camera, the world's smallest 10X optical zoom camera at less than an inch thick.

Using innovative Kodak Retina Dual Lens technology, the sleek, pocket-size V610 camera precisely combines two Schneider-Kreuznach C-Varigon all-glass, non-protruding prism lenses to deliver such a long zoom range a first for a camera so small.

Kodak now has the world's smallest digital cameras at both ends of the consumer photography spectrum - the Easyshare V570 model for ultra-wide-angle needs (23 mm equiv.) and the Easyshare V610 model for long-zoom needs.

In addition, the Easyshare V610 model is one of the first digital cameras to incorporate Bluetooth wireless technology, making it easier to instantly share pictures with people nearby.

"Kodak innovation continues to make it easier for people to take and share better, sharper pictures.

We're creating cameras for the digital age, breaking traditional constraints by using multiple light paths, lenses and sensors; by incorporating wireless technologies; and by taking advantage of advanced digital processing algorithms," said John Blake.

"The Easyshare V610 camera joins the acclaimed dual-lens V570 model in showing what's possible when innovative engineering is melded with innovative design."
