Kodak EasyShare V705 Digital Camera Review

Kodak EasyShare V705

Digital Camera Review

2 Introduced in August 2006 as the world’s smallest ultra-wide angle digital camera, the Kodak EasyShare V705 moves to the market with plenty of features in a tiny shell. To fit a 5x optical zoom range in a 0.8-inch thick body, Kodak created its Retina technology that pairs two lenses on the front. This certainly looks different than a traditional camera body, but the EasyShare V-series isn’t too concerned about tradition. The 7.1-megapixel V705 follows the V570 and V610 and retails for $349.
