The newest addition to Kodak's EasyShare line of cameras was announced today: meet the 6 megapixel Kodak EasyShare V610. Like its immediate predecessor, the V570, the V610 has two lenses on it. Both are Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon all-glass lenses, each with 6 megapixel sensors. The wider angle lens has a 38-114 mm range and the other a 130-380mm range; combined they make the V610 capable of 10x optical zoom, albeit with a transition instead of what you would see with just one lens. Each lens has a prism so that lens adjustment can be done internally, instead of protruding from the camera body.

Kodak's wifi-enabled EasyShare-One was their first camera with wireless features, and the EasyShare follows in its footsteps, only with Bluetooth 2.0 this time, enabling users to transmit their photos to mobile phones, computers PDAs, printers and Kodak photo kiosks. The V610 starts shipping May 8th with a list price of $449.95.

<![CDATA[CES Unveiled: Kodak Dual-Lens Digital V570]]>
Snapped a few pics with the Kodak V570 this evening. The news of this dual-lens camera broke earlier, and it's worth a second look. Each lens is paired with a 5 megapixel CCD image sensor. One lens is a 23mm ultra-wide angle, and the other is a 39-117mm optical zoom. The wide lens gives you 70% more width than an average camera. As you zoom in and out, the V570 seamlessly switches between the two lenses—so you never have to think about whether you are in wide angle or not. That wide angle lens is accompanied by a panoramic stitching feature that will let you take a 180 degree photo in three shots.

Otherwise this has got the same features, from LCD screen size to the SD card slot, as most other digi-cams on the market and Kodak's pocket series. It will cost $399, no word on release date.
