Kodak launches smallest 10x zoom digital camera

Kodak is celebrating five years of its Easyshare digital camera, software and docking technology with the launch of what it claims is the smallest 10x optical zoom digital camera.

The slimline six-megapixel Easyshare V610 is another dual lens digital camera - introduced by Kodak in January.

It has a 2.8in LCD screen and uses Kodak Retina Dual Lens technology, combining two Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon all-glass lenses that do not protrude.

The camera is also one of the first to come with Bluetooth wireless technology for easy sharing of photos with people up to 30ft away.

It will come with version 6 of the Easyshare software, which can be downloaded free from next month by existing Easyshare camera users here.

Due out in June, the V610 will cost £350.

Kodak also revealed some future technologies including facial recognition software that will automatically sort through thousands of photos to find who you need.

It is also working on context sorting and auto-albuming that will allow for one-button archiving.
