Front
This digital camera is consistent with other Kodak EasyShare V-series dual lens cameras in that its design is boxy and its front is highlighted by the metal cover that snaps over the two lenses. The lenses are perfectly centered, with a Kodak logo to the right side and "Dual Lens" text and a decorative wrist strap eyelet on the left side. On the metal lens cover, "ULTRAWIDE" text is printed twice in a circle, with "5X" in the middle. When the V705 is powered up, users can see the two lenses stacked atop each other. The lens on the top is the 23mm fixed focal length lens. The bottom lens is a 39-117mm, 3x optical zoom type. Along the left side of the circle that surrounds both lenses, Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon touts its brand name. In the top right corner of the front is a very thin rectangular built-in flash.
 
Back
The back of the camera is also typical of the V-series models. The LCD screen is centered on the back and surrounded by buttons and controls on both sides. The left side has a dimpled texture in the metal surface; 16 of those tiny dimples are made into holes at the top to serve as a built-in microphone. Below this feature are five thin, rectangular buttons with labels above them. From top to bottom, they are as follows: flash, delete, menu, review, and share. All of the buttons have a chrome finish, with the exception of the share button that is highlighted with a ruby red center. Along the right side of the LCD screen, the camera is labeled with its name and model: "Kodak EasyShare V705." In the top right corner of the back is a circular zoom lever; the "T" is on top and the "W" on bottom to zoom into that ultra-wide lens. Directly below the zoom lever is another circular control that looks very similar and is the same size even. It has a joystick in the center surrounded by a ring with embossed lines in the four directions. Two icons grace the top and bottom each. At the top of the navigational control are info and display icons, and the macro and landscape icons are at the bottom.
 
Right Side
The right side of the Kodak EasyShare V705 has a chrome band down the center that is interrupted a few times by features. The top of the band makes up the cover to the memory card slot; this must be pried up at the bottom with a sharp fingernail or other strong and thin object. Below the cover is an open port for a power adaptor. In the four corners of the right side are tiny screws holding the metal panels together.
 
Left Side
The left side looks very similar to the right except it has no features whatsoever. There is only the chrome band centered between two matted panels and two screws at the bottom.
 
Top
The chrome band runs across the top of the camera body too. The left side shows off the camera’s "7.1 Megapixels," while the right side provides a platform for the oval-shaped shutter release button. Between the megapixel count text and the shutter button are four circular buttons. From the left, they are for favorites, movie mode, auto/scene modes, and power. These four buttons have labels beneath them.
 
Bottom
The left side of the bottom has a sliding door that moves to the outer edge and pops open on a springy hinge. This compartment holds the thin lithium-ion battery that is held in place by a tiny brown switch; this is nice, as it keeps the battery from falling out when the compartment is opened. The center of the bottom has a port that connects to an optional camera dock or to the included USB cable. In front of the port is a metal quarter-inch tripod mount. The right side is littered with serial numbers and corporate information.

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
