This review is from: Kodak Easyshare V705 7.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Ultra-Wide-Angle Dual-Lens Optical ZoomThis is a great camera! Finally someone has made a camera that takes in the whole field of view, not just a small portion of it. Also the image quality is excellent. I took some pictures in a low lighted restaurant without a flash and they came out extremely well. In normal lighting conditions the pictures are sharp and the color is excellent. The screen menu is also very intuitive and easy to use.On the down side, there are a few minor issues. First, it is rather annoying that the focal length jumps from 23mm all the way to 39mm and then zooms up from there. I would have preferred that the second lense began at 32mm or 34mm rather than at 39mm so that more of the mid-range was available. Second, the battery is rather small. I would have preferred that the battery was larger so it would last longer. I haven't had an issue with the battery running out on me, but I know it would last longer if it were bigger. Third, (and this is an issue for all pocket cameras, not just the V705), I wish someone would make a camera case that had a belt clip as well as a battery pocket. I haven't been able to find that anywhere for any of my pocket cameras.All in all, this is a great camera. I also own a Canon SD300 (which is also a great camera) but I find that I take the V705 with me most of the time because of the beautiful wide angle shots it takes.
This review is from: Kodak Easyshare V705 7.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Ultra-Wide-Angle Dual-Lens Optical ZoomThis is about the 5th digital camera I have owned and I think that none have compared to the quality vs price as this one. I was a little frightened by some of the reviews but after getting this camera I have taken about 200 pics in the last 4-5 days (learning how to use the different settings) and I am really pleased that I ordered it. As with all new products you buy you have to learn how they work. The more options, the more to learn. I was impressed with the movie quality also in that most cameras do not have that great of quality. I converted the Quicktime to WMA for DVD and they looked great on a big screen TV. The only little drawback I see is the door to the card that I am very careful when opening.I have always carried a couple spare batteries and if you buy a charger and keep them charged there is no problem. This I think is true with all battery based items with a lot of use. I also keep 3-4 extra cards for storage. You don't depend on flashlights and not keep extra batteries or blame the flashlight when it quits.
This review is from: Kodak Easyshare V705 7.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Ultra-Wide-Angle Dual-Lens Optical ZoomI bought this camera, having first read the few user reviews here on Amazon. The ultra-wide lens is nice, but like a decent webcam, the images are soft. The zoom lens of course gets crisper shots. In low light without a tripod, this camera can't perform. For indoor shots the noise and dark shots are almost a sub-par throwback to digicams a few generations prior.As far as the SD card launching out of the camera... YES it can happen. I had a laugh as it happened the 1st time I ejected the SD card. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a design flaw, since I learned to ejected the card with my thumb over the slot, instead of just flicking it with my fingertip. It's not a deal-breaker. But I did want to vindicate the user who posted that his card flew out of the slot. It happened to me too.After a week of using this camera in all different situations, the trade-off between having a wonderfully wide 23mm lens and the mediocrity of the camera in general prompted me to sell it. I'm opting for a less-wide, but overall better (and more expensive) Canon model with a 28mm wide (not ultra-wide) lens. There is indeed a big difference between 23mm and 28mm, but I like to take shots at parties, bars, on the street at night, and a 28mm with better low-light performance is what suits me.I gave this point & shoot camera a full college try for it's unique 23mm lens. But in the end the softness and noise made for crummy shots.Another point of dissatisfaction is that the LCD as a viewfinder is really fuzzy while framing the shot, making it hard to be sure if the shot I'm about to take is in focus or not. Once I take the shot, the LCD shows a much clearer image than the preview (as with all digicams). But the difference between before you press the shutter and after is too severe. When framing shots with this camera, it's always a leap of faith as to whether the shot is in focus. That is annoying. I'd rath...
