Kodak Announces the World's Smallest Ultra-Wide-Angle Zoom Digital Camera
"Kodak has announced today a handful of new EasyShare cameras. The 7.0
megapixel EasyShare V705 Dual Lens and the 8 megapixel EasyShare C875 both feature a 5x all glass Schneider-Kreuznach optical zoom lens and a 2.5-inch LCD and the V705 also sports an additional ultra wide 23mm lens. Kodak has also announced two entry level cameras; the C743 and C433." http://www.dpreview.com/news/0608/06...c875.asp#press Cheers! http://newcamz.blogspot.com |

NO viewfinder, no buy. It's that simple. While they have great statistics, the lack of this basic feature removes them from consideration. |

View finders only have one small advantage they are easy to use in bright
light. Beyond that they add nothing but size and weight to a camera. The Kodak V610 is a wonderful camera considering its size, zoom range and image stabilization.

That's like saying a window takes up too much space on an automobile. Some things are just WORTH the space. |

R As I said, the features/specs are great, but without a viewfinder, preferably optical, I am NOT a potential customer. Some things are just essential. I wouldn't buy a car without a windshield either... |

Not to mention that the LCD is the biggest drain on the battery, so having to rely on it all the time for framing and taking pictures is going to have a major hit on battery life. |

The wide-angle model is interesting, but it lacks an optical view-finder which is a no-compromise feature on all but the lowest end cameras. |
