Kodak Develops World’s Smallest 10X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

Eastman Kodak Company has introduced the KODAK EASYSHARE V610 dual lens digital camera, the world's smallest 10X (38 -- 380 mm equiv.) optical zoom camera at less than an inch thick. Using KODAK RETINA Dual Lens technology, the pocket-size V610 camera combines two SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH C-VARIOGON all-glass, non-protruding prism lenses to deliver a long zoom range -- a first for a camera so small (just 4.4 x 2.2 x 0.9 inches).

The 6-megapixel EASYSHARE V610 camera, with anti-blur technology, is one of the first digital cameras to incorporate BLUETOOTH wireless technology. EASYSHARE V610 camera owners can send their pictures to other BLUETOOTH technology enabled devices up to 30 feet away --e.g., mobile phones, PDAs, computers, KODAK Picture Kiosks, and even other V610 cameras -- as well as receive and view pictures on the 2.8-inch, high-resolution (230,000 pixels) LCD screen.

The KODAK EASYSHARE V610 zoom digital camera will be available worldwide in May and will have an MSRP of US$449 in the U.S.
