Overall, it is a fun camera and potential purchasers are those who are attracted to its simplicity of use, the ultra-wide-angle coverage for large group shots and easy in-camera panorama stitching for spectacular landscape shots.

Overall, for the price and feature set, the EasyShare V705 is a well-mannered camera that has some useful and interesting features. The V705 has the rock-solid feel of a much more expensive camera, but at a fraction of the price, and the super-wide angle abilities place the V705 head and shoulders above most of its competition. Throw in the video editing, panoramic features, overall good performance, and good image quality, and you’ve got a winner.

The V705 makes a stand for innovation, style and sheer egg-head lunacy. You might not care for the Kodak’s austere design, dual-lensed awkwardness or average image quality, but any camera that pushes boundaries while raising a smile deserves to find an audience.

Overall, despite only average image quality and some elements of slow operation, the Kodak Easyshare V705 is an intriguing and fun to use digital camera that is well worth considering.

I like the Kodak EasyShare V705 for its size, looks, and ultra-wide lens. The speed of camera operation was good and battery life was very good. The camera is quite capable of capturing good images, but “softness” may be an issue at times. As with all digital cameras, the better you know the strengths and weaknesses of your camera, the better your images will be.

The inclusion of the wide angle lens is certainly a bonus if you need to take photos within a wide area. A simple refresh of the V570, rather than the ultra zoom V610, the new Kodak EasyShare V705 bumps up the resolution without affecting the image quality by too much.

A simple refresh of the V570, the new Kodak EasyShare V705 bumps up the resolution, adds a few subtle twists, and keeps everything we liked about the company’s original dual-lens camera.

Although it has its limitations, the EasyShare V705 is the ideal snapshot camera for recording social events. As long as you’re not too worried about image noise at high ISO settings or compression artefacts in everything else then it is ideal.

The Kodak EasyShare V705 would be a good camera for someone who only shoots outdoors in sunny conditions; the limited aperture range requires lots of light and its auto focus struggles in darker conditions. For anything else, though, the Kodak V705 will be a disappointment. Many pictures taken indoors and under imperfect light looked blurry, had horribly unrealistic colors, and were subjected to the awful built-in flash. So while the Kodak V705 has plenty of good looks on the outside, its pictures weren’t nearly as beautiful.

More megapixels can sometimes result in more noise, as I found with this new EasyShare V-series camera.
