Decided to take a break from mobile phones and play around with a Kodak V570 which is the first consumer dual lens camera out in the market. Dual lens you say? Well yes. The V570 comes equipped with a second lens that switches the digital viewfinder to an ultra-wide view.
Just for fun, I kept the fishbowl distortion on. Here are some shots of myself and friends:
My favorite shooting mode was Night Landscape, which removed flash while capturing as much ambient light as possible. Subjects (and your hand) have to remain really still though.
Here’s night landscape combined with the ultra-wide lens:
When the subjects move: (Argh!)
And when they stay still:
Overall, a fun camera to have in the ~ $600.00 line. What I love about it (aside from the UW lens) is that it has instant on and off upon pressing the power button.
Ok… so I’m the subject that moved. =P
I did have the opportunity to lay my hands on this camera. Indeed, I found it uber cool. It takes nice pics… as long as the subjects don’t move. =D
