Connectivity
Software (7.0)
Kodak EasyShare Software comes included with the camera, and can also be downloaded on the Kodak web site.
Jacks, Ports, Plugs (6.5)
The earlier Kodak V-series cameras had open ports suitable for gum and dust storage. The V570 took one step in the right direction by placing a cover over the SD/MMC card slot. The power adaptor port is still open to the elements. This digital camera cannot be directly connected to a television or computer; users must attach the V570 to the included Kodak EasyShare Photo Frame Dock 2 (via the jack on the bottom of the camera). The dock has a single port for A/V out and USB 2.0 cables. The dock also has a battery charging indicator, a transfer button, and a slide show button.
Direct Print Options (8.0)
Like other Kodak EasyShare digital cameras, the V570 can print directly to PictBridge or ImageLink enabled printers. It can only do so with the help of the included Kodak EasyShare Photo Frame Dock 2 though. The camera does not have a USB port on its body, but connects to the dock that has a USB port. The dock has a transfer button for easy printing. This button can transfer single pictures or entire orders that have been made with the Share button. The Kodak EasyShare V570 is compatible with the Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3 and comes with a custom cradle so it will fit into it.
Battery (5.5)
The Kodak EasyShare V570 comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that charges within the camera body when it is attached to the included Photo Frame Dock 2. The dock has a battery power indicator that lets users know when it is empty, half-full, and fully charged. The KLIC-7001 battery lasts for quite awhile, so users shouldn’t be scrambling for batteries every 20 minutes. The camera shows a battery power indicator on the LCD screen when the battery is half-full and continues to show the icon until it runs out.
Memory (5.0)
The Kodak EasyShare V570 has a slot on its right side for SD or MMC cards. There is also 32 MB of internal memory, 28 of which are used for image storage. Most of the memory is used for storing the Favorites pictures. 28 MB is not enough to really take advantage of such a cool camera, so plan on purchasing a memory card. The Kodak V570 can only hold 17 full resolution images in its internal memory.
Other Features (2.0)
Sound Themes – Each Kodak V-series camera has its own unique set of sound themes. The Kodak V570 has the traditional default beeps and shutter sounds, but also adds intriguing Jazz Lounge and Secret Agent themes. The volume can be set to normal, high, or low.
