Kodak! Go Ahead Wit Yo Badself
Okay, so Kodak slipped up back in the early days of the digital revolution, believing digital photography would take longer to reach full market penetration. That decision weighed heavily on their fate as the company went to near bankruptcy and they have been struggling to catch up ever since.
Now Kodak finally has the look and power to be envied by other cam manufactures. Their latest cams have built in wifi allowing you to upload images directly to your computer and printer. Some enterprising people have even managed to get the camera to send their photos directly to their flickr account. Now that's some cool shit!
Today, Kodak unveiled a brand new camera called the V570, the world's first dual-lens digital camera. The V570 holds an ultra-wide angle lens (23 mm) and a second 37 x 117 mm 3X optical zoom lens. The dual-lens makes taking photos incredibly easier since the optics can adjust for unsteady hands instead of digital stabilization. With two lens, you also capture as much light and true colors as possible. The resolution comes out to a respectable 5 megapixels all housed in a sleek case less than 1" thick. On the rear you have your standard controls with a large 2.5" LCD screen. The camera is also capable of MPEG-4 recording at 30 frames per second.
I am really liking this camera. Now if I can only get my hands on one for a review. If it all turns out to be as good as it sounds, I may pick one up since this camera, crammed with this much technology is only a measly $399 coming out later this January.

And here I was, only a few years back, thinking that all the good old boys were gone (namely Pentax and Kodak)... Well, that's how wrong you can be... =P

23mm thats what im talking about...In my opinion, the lack of an affordable wide angle lens has been the biggest kick back for digital cameras overall.

So I clicked on "picture of the rear after the jump" and it was the back of a camera. Boy, was I disappointed.
