 Get the new and innovative Kodak EasyShare V570 Dual Lens Digital Camera for $400 - $50 instant savings = $350 at CompUSA. The V570 was one of the stars of last month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
It offers a wider range of optical zoom than a typical ultraportable by ingeniously including two Schneider-Kreuznach lenses: one for ultra-wide angle shots (think grand vistas and landscapes) and another for the standard zoom range. That makes this camera an excellent choice for travel and diverse photo shooting needs.
Camera features include: 5 megapixel image capture, vga video capture at 30 frames per second, image stabilization circuitry, on-camera panorama stitching (take multiple side-by-side pictures from one position and the camera will assemble them into one continuous image), and multiple shooting modes. The V570 has 32MB of built-in memory as well as an SD Card slot for additional storage.
Take advantage of this outstanding price on this newly released star. Shipping is free.
