Kodak V570 Review at DigitalCameraReview
DigitalCameraReview have reviewed the new dual lens Kodak V570 camera.
“The top billing on this camera is the dual lens system, which Kodak has branded as RETINA. Now, just to clear any misconceptions up, the two Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon lenses are not used at the same time. One is used for ultra-wide angle shots (23mm equivalent), and the other lens provides the typical 3x optical zoom (39-117mm equivalent). When you operate the zoom rocker switch, an illustration on the LCD shows where you are in the range, and which lens is in use. To handle the two lenses, the camera also has two 5 megapixel sensors. Please note, if digital zoom is turned on, the camera will provide digital zoom for the zoom range between the ultra-wide lens and the wide end of the regular lens. Once digital zoom is turned off, there will be a “jump” between the two lenses. Also, you cannot use the ultra-wide lens in Macro or Landscape modes. Also, there are several scene modes where the ultra-wide lens is disabled. When you choose a mode, it provides some explanation text where this is denoted.”

Interesting "ultra-wide panoramic" size picture from the auto stiched function of the camera, approximately 13.5'X 3.5" prints will be available at our local camera shop after Kodak gets the firmware update to the manager. I kinda like this camera and will be doing some cropping/stiching of other images to , at least, take advantage of this very nice panoramic print! I have no idea what will be available in Europe or America for prints, here in Iwakuni Japan my favorite shop uses the Noritsu processing system.
Gonna crop some of those 12mm Tokina/20D images, the firmware update is due in within a month.
