Kodak EasyShare V610

Features
The 6.1 megapixel V610 boasts 22 scene modes that, as I mentioned above, cover just about every shooting condition and situation. My favorite scene mode out of the lot was the panorama mode. It allows you to take three consecutive shots from left to right or right to left, covering a wide perspective. The camera does a brilliant job of seamlessly stitching the images together, making it look like a single naturally wide shot. It's definitely the one of the best quality stitching I’ve seen straight from the camera.

The Bluetooth function is sure to make your life a lot easier. No more messing around with data cables every time you need to transfer pictures to the PC. It also eliminates the need for a PC to transfer data from the camera to another device like a mobile phone or a Bluetooth printer.

Performance

The V610, like most Kodak cameras gives you excellent colors; the kind that would make vacation shots look bright and cheerful. It takes advantage of any bright color it finds in the frame and saturates it give the overall picture a livelier effect. That's not all, it also further darkened the shadowy areas of the picture to give a higher contrast ratio. Though a lot of professional photographers may frown at this quality, I personally feel it suits the casual photographer’s interests pretty well.


I also appreciated the fact that the camera captured the reds, oranges and pinks as what they are, unlike many other cameras in this category that are incapable of recognizing oranges and pinks, and reproduce them as reds instead.


The shot above was taken using a tripod and the “Night Landscape” scene mode on the Kodak V670. As you can see, the image has come out a bit too dark, even though the appropriate scene mode selected. This problem can be easily fixed by using the custom mode and manually setting the camera’s “Long Time Exposure”, but the point is that the selecting the "Night Scenery" itself should have done this for me.
