Consumer Reports purchased a pre-retail version of the Kodak Easyshare V570 from Kodak, and shares its results in their First look: The Kodak EasyShare V570 article. The editors liked the camera's ability to automatically switch between lenses. They found the camera's image-stitching feature "works well, but it's far from perfect." Stitched photos didn't always line up in their tests.
The camera's print quality was Good to Very Good, and they got 150 shots from one battery charge. Overall, expect to pay $50 to $100 more for the innovations in the V570, which may not represent a good value for you, depending on your needs.
